Money Fights

Well had a bust up argument with hubby this morning. It frustrates me that he wont acknowledge that what we are doing is HUGE and it takes alot of planning and organisation. We have just under 4 weeks left and we still haven't packed up the house, the tiler is somewhere out there, who knows, he said he will call me when he has time. WTF! He is cut about me spending money. Well I don't have a summer wardrobe, not for tropical weather. During summer in Melbourne I still wear tracksuit pants and I have been told that bigger sizes in Asian countries are really hard to get, and I don't want to be embarrassed in front of these tiny ladies, the big farang who cant fit into any clothes! He doesn't understand and it hurts a little. My weight is an issue for me and my self esteem at the moment is terribly low. I am so busy getting everything done that I barely have time to exercise let alone eat properly. And now is not the time to start a new lifestyle when we are about to pack up and leave the country. It will be a big enough lifestyle change when we get there. It costs money to get things like Visas, passports, immunisations, medicine, kids stuff, buy electrical stuff for the computer etc as the electricity over there is very dodgy. We are finishing off the house which costs money, and the most important thing WE ARE MOVING THE WHOLE FAMILY TO THAILAND you dolt and it costs money!

Another thing I need to speak about today is how Julia Gillard has just been made our Prime Minister. Australia's first female Prime Minister. I am all for women's rights and I believe she would be fantastic, except for to 2 major things, 1. she is Labour and 2. she is in too tight with the Unions. I like her, she speaks very well, she is strong and doesn't get rattled, but she is just on the wrong team. Well I will watch from afar as to how well she goes and see what happens when we eventually return. Who knows she may be good.
