FLOWERS, CHOCOLATE AND CARS

On Friday I had to head into the city for a client meeting and afterwards I had a message from my boss asking if I could pick him up a bunch of flowers for his EA as it was her last day. I thought this would be easy, I'm a girl, I love flowers. Simple so I replied back with a yes!
I was soon regretting this decision.


My meeting was in Queen Street and I found this florist around the corner thanks to my trusty iPhone in Bourke street, as soon as I walked in I knew I was in way over my head, the florist wasn't English speaking (or very well) I told her I needed some really girly flowers I soon spotted these pink ones for $70.00 she then took them to to the corner and charged me $120.00. Go Figure? I knew that  questioning her was pointless. The amount of looks I got treading through the city with  my portfolio, huge box of flowers and high heels heading back to the office in Southbank - Priceless.




On the plus side, when I got back to the office this little bunny was sitting on my keyboard. The Easter bunny came early.  I wont deny the fact that he was demolished straight away.




I recently listed bits and pieces on eBay and I was actually surprised at how popular my GHD was. Best part of all the winner paid instantly. Don't you love that?


If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know around this time last year I was going to buy an Audi A1.. I'm not sure if I blogged about this but I decided against it. I couldn't justify dropping $30,000 and decided not to buy it. I have been looking around at what small, zippy, city girl cars that I like I was looking at the i20 as its great value brand new drive away at $15,990 but on Monday night I saw a Suzuki Swift for sale and before I knew it I had brought it!



It's silver and all things nice, I think they are so cute, zippy and I fell in love.
The Boyfriend joked that the boot wasn't big enough for all of my shopping bags ha! but never fear it has a big back seat for all of those extra bags. I put it up tomorrow (Monday) after work I'm excited.


Its a short week for me this week as we are heading away for Easter early as we managed to get cheap flights to the boyfriends parents place. We leave on Wednesday.
I need to pack and we all know how much I suck at that.

  2. Heeeey, congrats on the new set of wheels! Suzuki Swifts are adorbs and, yes, totally zippy. (I love that word, by the way, and never think to use it. Heh.) May all your drives in the new car be safe and non-stressful!

    Lindt bunny...OM NOM NOM.

    Your meeting was in Queen St and I work in Queen! Heh heh.

    Oh, and you're a far bigger woman than I because I totally would've questioned the lady about the price discrepancy, hee!
