BEEP BEEP!

The boyfriend has been struck down with the evil Man flu which yesterday I thought had latched itself onto me. So yesterday when I woke up with sore eyes, slightly sore throat and a thumping headache I ran down to the IGA as soon as I got to work and jumped onto fighting those nasties.

 
But the good news today I feel fine.. Thankgod! #winningimmunesystem
Same thing happened last week when a colleauge came to work sick the next day I started to get a running nose and feel slightly sick. I think if you're sick - Stay home.
 
As I was leaving work early yesterday I started a little earlier which I thought wasnt such a great idea at 6am when my alarm clock was blazing but never the less there was a plus side to starting work early I got to snap this photo of the hot airballoons coming across.
 
 
 
Who else saw these half car half bed things in southbank yesterday?
 
 
I picked up my car yesterday after work.
Its so cute and perfect.
Easiest little beast to drive
and zippy!
 
 
I'm so proud here that I managed to park, wait make that reverse park hahaha I am the worst parker in the world so I was impressed with my efforts.
 
 
I'm so happy with my purchase so if you're thinking of buying a car.. Get a swift!
 
We are heading away on holidays tomorrow for Easter, I havent packed, I havent even washed anything to take with me and tonight I wont be home until late so I can already forcast a disaster happening tomorrow morning. Who knows we might even miss our flight.. haha!
 
I need to go and buy a new travel bag tonight after work as D forgot to buy checked in luggage for our flight and only brought a ticket with on board. I generally dont travel that lightly therefore I dont think I have any bags small enough so I'll be hitting up MYER after work.

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.
