spoil yourself...

i got a surprising email last week from miss jo.
apparently, cult status in perth were having a sale on 2006 balenciaga's.
so being the bag whore that i am, i dragged simon down to the city to have a looky at the bags on sale. just a look. a harmless peak, you know right?

i told myself, i dont need another bag, i NEED a new front loader washing machine. mmm sure... whatever... as soon as i stepped into the store, i made a bee line for the balenciaga section, checking out the styles and colours. at first look the colours were ...bleh...nothing very impressive. current season stuff is :o(. but then i enquired about the sale stuff (30%OFF!!) and what stuff was left. the sales lady brought out the twiggy in emerald...MMMMMM ... the green is something i have been eyeing for a while.

so after a lot of ummming... and ahhhing... and thinking ...shifting money around in my head, .....counting my next pay and when the next credit card bill came.... looking in the mirror... posing with the bag...... prioritising bills, payments and essentials that need to be covered... i became weak. very pathetically weak. i ended up buying the emerald twiggy. GAHHH..... yes i can hear my friends laughing/screaming at me from across the world ... saying OH MY F****** GOD KL*R* ...another bag?

sigh yes....i went home with a new bundle of joy and even simon agreed with me in the end. the green is nice and grows on you :o). so here is the new addition to the family.

the emerald green twiggy

in the end i figured, i have worked DAMN hard these last few months.

this is a little/big reward for all the hard work

luv and hugs from a very broke clio. :o)

ps: i have taken piccies of all my bags and accessories for insurance purposes.

you always need to protect your assets right?

pps: i have parent/teacher interviews for the next 2 weeks. EEP!!!

its seriously scarey shit. especially when the kids reports aint GOOD!

old dogs learn new tricks....

today i learnt something new that saves a teachers sanity.

get a decent kids movie and make them watch it in class while doing a class activity - ie. drawing, colouring in, timeline project - anything that doesnt require too many brain cells.

the result = a quiet class, kids are entertained for 2 hours and you get to do some work in peace and quiet! its no wonder parents love tv

still learning. clio

ps: sowee ming - i accidently deleted your comment while mucking about with my blog & thanks hun *hugs*

i am so FUC**NG tired : part deux

its 12:08 am ....

i have just finished writing report comments for the night.

now i know why people say teaching is a REALLY BADLY paid job.

the amount of work you put into it, it really becomes a selfless job.

even the kids pity you for the amount of work that you do...

"wow.... do you really do that much work every day? ... i dont want to be a teacher, they work too hard" ... jesus these kids are smart.

anyways... its now 12:12am.... and i still have these tasks to do...

1. prepare lessons for tomorrow... (tempted to wing it on the way to work~ or in normal speak bluff your way through the whole day!!)

2. marking - so NOT going to happen

3. prepare honour certificates for friday assembley - definitely NOT going to happen.

why being a teacher sucks:

- kids swearing behind your back - tick

- number of students who hates me - hrm.... tick tick tick.... i have quite a few enemies!

- kids who still hate you - even though you are doing YOUR best to help them ... ARGH!!!

for fuck sakes this annoys me..... ( i love my blog, its therapeutic)

- kids who will do anything to avoid WORK ( for fuck sakes get on with it, its like drawing blood from stone!)

as you can tell im just very tired, frustrated and sleepy. please bear with me, while i whinge and bitch the last weeks of my teaching contract.

tired and sleepy~clio

dreaming of chanel.....

mmmm lookie lookie what i got in my email.....
very pretty pretty things from chanel....

in my sweet dreams.....

ARGH!! 3 more days till reports due!
im fucked im fucked im FUCKED!!!!

signing out and freaking out. clio

while procrastinating....

i am soooo tired....

i am absolutely knackered... reports are due next friday, and i have been working my pretty lil ass to the bone. my body is on "survival mode" ...and i organise things on a day to day basis... i cant even think beyond the next 24 hours.

i am so tired i cant even watch tv without falling asleep. sitting on the sofa (relaxing) = nana nap time. i even went to spiderman 3 & pirates of the caribbean 3 (on separate days) and i managed to fall asleep for at least 45 minutes of each movie (and yes i did fall asleep in the cinemas) . it is no wonder teachers get the 2 week breaks every 10 wks of school or so. they so deserve it.

im going to hang in there ... for the next week or so... please bear with me while i get my shit sorted... i know i owe money to people.. (sowee) ill organise that after next friday.

love and hugs

when LV goes ghetto....

anyone who really knows me, knows that im label whore and a bag slut. i try to explain/justify my adddictions by saying that they are quality investments (did i just hear you cough?) :oP

but i must admit - i have improved lately and curbed my bag/label addiction significantly. i am now a tar-jay (target), kmart, big w and valley girl mall rat. (how the mighty have fallen .... :oP. ) at least my husband is happy about that.. and i know how wasteful it is to spend so much money on designer stuff. and yes there is more to life then designer stuff.... i cant even use half my handbags at school - can you imagine the comments i'll get from the parents? or other teachers?

so i have gone semi ghetto - but here are some pics of gucci and LV going super ghetto...

how come no one told me that Spotlight had a 2 for 1 special on gucci?

did someone throw up LV?

done you just love the hoods?

luv from da hoods of boogaroo 'n' chinthrop...
