Re: Up and downs of the day, etc. etc Down: Raining again… Down: Somehow managed to roll my ankle while walking down the hall at work (shame!) Up: Have learnt valuable lesson about the importance of practical footwear.

About 10 degrees and raining... once again almost got poked in the eye by a random umbrella :mad:

You know you’re a New Zealander when... You call both hot chips and crisps ‘chips’ but no one ever gets confused as to what you are referring to. You think it is normal that there were only two TV channels until the ‘90s. :eek: The Police don’t carry guns. You call swimwear ‘togs’ 90% of the...

Down – freaking cold! Down - Monday – need I say more? Up – moving out of scungy flat and into less scungy flat next week. Up – got an email from someone I haven’t heard from in ages and will get to see him when we are in Iceland, yay!

I got 25 on the male side, although I think the shapes part was a bit too easy because I got 12/12 and I have done that sort of thing before and was total rubbish. I made my husband do it to see if he was more manish (is that a word?) than me and he scored 100. So I guess he still gets to wear...

I can't believe that I got up early enough to have breakfast, blow dry my hair and make my lunch, and I don't even have to leave for work for another 15 mins!!! :eek: I can't believe that instead of thanking my husband for washing the dishes I packed a paddy about him leaving the foam in the...

Finally found some work shoes to buy, why is it that when I have no money there are millions of pairs I want and then when I have money the shoes are all ugly?! Also got a hair dryer and new hair brush.

Going off topic, hmm in the off topic thread who would have thought? Am I the only one who is getting a bit sick of political correctness? I mean today at work I got told that we can no longer call it brainstorming – it is now having a ‘thought shower’ – My reaction, "are you taking the pi$$?"...

I am with you on the twins thing, it is like a buy one get one free deal, :lol: you only have to be pregnant and give birth once. Clearly once you got them home and had to look after them it might be another story.

It is, as my mum would say ‘persisting down’ around 10-12C

Down: Had to walk for 20 mins in torrential rain to deliver reports to a different office because the person whose job it actually is couldn't be bothered :mad: (what me bitter?) Down: Discovered that my jandals (flip-flops) are not suited to walking in aforementioned rain. Up: Shoe shopping...

Down: Raining, almost got an eye taken out by an umbrella-wielding mad woman - is it that hard to lift your umbrella? Up: Friday tomorrow and none of the people I PA for are in - Solitaire it is.

The other day when we flew out of Newcastle they confiscated my lip balm - I mean hello, how is that a safety issue? Are my shiny lips going to blind someone? :rolleyes:

Hmm so I 'borrowed' some of these, You know you're a New Zealander when... You are used to Americans asking if your English when they hear your accent. People automatically assume you are Australian, or worse think your country is part of Australia (I was once asked how long it took to drive...

Hi everyone, this is my first ever post eek very scary - but must say I was lured by the promise of free cookies! I'm from NZ but now live in Scotland so have thrash my beloved CSI DVDs to survive the long nights and terrible British TV.
