One of the things on my list with the kids being up at Nanna’s and Poppas is to update my black book. Its not what you think trust me..although I wish someday’s..the black book is a list of EVERYTHING that happens in our house. I mean everything. It includes when all the direct debits happens, passwords, account numbers, share holdings, super funds, savings, what bills are paid and when. I mean everything.
I know that in terms of security its wrong to have all this in one place and urge you to be so careful with where you put something like this but we have the black book carefully hidden in a safe and that safe is in a even safer place. For us its necessarily. It occurred to me one day that should something happen to me that FIFO husband would be left scratching his head. I guess that’s part of the FIFO lifestyle. One partner runs the house intimately. I literally run the household on my own. I know when everything is paid when its due. So with this revelation in my head I wrote it all done including when the boys check ups are due. As I said everything is in that book.
The black book is just an ordinary notebook. It doesn’t look any special and I don’t know why its black it just is. I got it from kikki, I have a bit of obsession with with stationary..lol..in fact I have just discovered TYPO oh my how I love.
My list and my time is almost complete. Im happy.

PS Thank you for all the lovely emails regarding my encounter with the bully yesterday. Isn’t it amazing the effect that someone like that can have on you? I didn’t let her win for too long. I thought. I though a lot. I rationalised her behaviour. I remind myself what I have where I have been what I have done. My sadness turned to anger and then for her pity. I pity her. I pity her because all she has missed out on and what she is missing out on as its that kind of behaviour that keeps my husband and children such a distance from her.
