Trying to get some work done but …
I’ve caught the bidrival bug!!
Today started off, as part of our households new routine … kids off to school, clean up, get the babies ready for their PORSE Educator, Toni and then off to my computer to do some solid work.
It so happens that today my eldest son is also looking for a PS3 to buy so what does one do when they have access to a comp … check out the auctions!! We started with Trademe, priced compared with Dick Smith and back to Trademe again, only to find a strange little advert for a PS3 console … I’ve got this TV from Bidrivals for a good deal, that’s why I’m happy to sell it. It comes with full warranty and purchase invoice from Bidrivals. … I thought to myself, hmmm, its not listed as a TV but what the heck is Bidrivals. A quick google search and badaboom badabang … the world of Bidrivals opened up to me *giggles*
Since opening that website my son and I have sat here watching auctions close for a song and there happens to be a PS3 there that would be right up our alley, and if it sells for as little as the XBox Elite, $40.76, then who am I to whinge!! So here I sit, supposedly working but really with one eye constantly peeking at the PS3 that is slowly rising in price. I think its time to step away from the computer so that I can do some real work and stop spending so much of my time being pleasantly, on the verge of obsessively distracted by Bidrivals!!
On another note, our 3 under 5 are blissfully running around in the backyard, drawing pictures to their hearts content and gobbling up every last book that is being read to them by our new “Nanny” … Toni. Trying to juggle work and childcare committments was becoming slightly draining and so we did what was best for all concerned. We went to the Porse Network and employed an In-Home Educator. Day 1 passed without issue and I got so much work done yesterday I was almost taken aback. So for a breather of 5 hours a day, I for one can’t complain. I can still hear the laughter of my children as I work but there are no stop/start distractions to my workflow. I have to admit … I love my life just that little bit more for employing Toni to do what she has such a great flare for and in addition, she gets to work on her own career and personal aspirations through working with Porse. Its a win win situation!!
But for now it looks like i’ll take a morning tea break and maybe, just maybe, take another peek at that PS3 auction before I complete my next task ;P
