Hey Hey It's Saturday....

Hello...

Been a while I know. Been kinda busy. You know will all and nothing.

School holidays have started here in Victoria so that means I get some time off. Only a few days but enough to maybe catch up on some things I have wanted to do but just never have time. Like washing out the fridge now theres one thats been bugging me.

Off to get my nails done this morning then over to the in laws to remove a potbelly from the garage. They have sold their home and we claimed the potbelly so need to go get it and fix the small hole in the roof. The brother in law and his girlfriend that were living in the shed moved a week ago and mother in law wants the heating gone before they can move back ;)

Apart from that a quiet weekend I feel. We are all getting yet another cold so might take the opportunity to rug up and watch some DVD's. I have been collecting cheap DVDs for watching over winter both for the kids and us.

Some other news.... We now have his and her laptops. cheesy hey. I purchased a new program for my laptop and it wouldn't run it. Not enough memory. On further investigation the memory isnt cheap. while making phone calls I found a rather good deal on a laptop and Col went and got it for me for my Birthday (yes the big one but not till September so I am still in my 30's!). We decided it was so good and reasonable price we went back Monday and got another one for Col. Now picture this..... the 2 of us in our matching recliners laid back both using laptops and listening to Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon in surround sound. I must get a photo.

Ok off to make some coffee.

Until next time Stay safe

Shan and her new friend

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

You guessed it it is Tuesday!

I could write a book Tuesdays with Denise!

Not much has happened since I was here last... I did post some pics of Jake last week they are his year 7,8 & 9 school photo's the tiny one was year 7 the freaky hair is this year so the normalish one was last year or year 8. The other kids get their photo's done on the 16th so will post them when they arrive.

I had Riah over the weekend and she and Shan had a ball. We took them to the market Sunday and they just had fun hanging out. They chat all the time but dont often get to physically be together.
We are going to try and do it more often.

Nadine and I took Mum out for dinner Saturday night for mothers day. Nean wont make it up on the day so while she was up we made the most of it.

I plan to spend today catching up on those chores you just never get time for you know the base boards the cobwebs that sort of thing. I manage to get the essential stuff done but the little bits are bugging me. I really want to clean the windows too so might do that before I shower.

So a boring week really but there you go.

Monday is council collection so we are going to have a clean up over the weekend to ditch the rubbish that builds up that you never get rid of. We are clearing out the garage too we are ordering a little shed to go in the big shed so Col can have a dry office. it is crazy every time we get rain he gets flooded. So I guess I am in for a busy weekend.

Stay safe all and until next Tuesday ciao

Wet and soggy Sunday

It isn't raining at the moment but it rained the better part of the night. We really do need this rain so am not going to whine about it. The air is finally clear and you can breath air not just the smoke from the back burning in the mountains. For the better part of 2 weeks we have been covered in a haze of smoke. It looks like smog all day long but you can smell the smoke and the dark ash settles on everything. My white car is currently streaky charcoal.

I have been trying to get stuck into some stitching. Every time I try I get interrupted or side tracked. Last night I planned a night of specialty stitches and then discovered Harry potter was on and the kids wanted to watch it so it was 10:30 before they were all in bed and I could think straight. I stitched till a little after 1 but was so tired I had to go to bed then I spotted my new library book and read till 2:30. So today I am tired and will probably want to hit the hay early :)

We had some mongrel kick our letter box to bits Friday night so yesterday went to bunnings and picked up a new one. I love bunnings.... We also got a stack of storage tubs for the shed. We want to get everything into tubs before the real wet weather comes. That shed leaks like a sieve and we figure this is the best form of protection. We are also moving Col's office out there from the low corner to the high corner. We have not done this before as it means not being able to get a car in there if we need to but we think we have measured it all out so we can just fit the car if needed.

I caved yesterday and let shannon get a mouse. She has named her Katie. I did not mind the mouse so much as the cost of the cage,bedding water bottle and food. We managed to get a cage at clints for $13 and the mouse and all its "stuff" came in under $35. Shan panicked late yesterday when she couldn't find her and thought she had escaped the cage. We searched everywhere and I found her asleep in her house in her cage. Shan forgot to look there! blonde moment or what.

Well Off to get the tribe ready we are off to the market this morning. We need some ink for the PC and blank dvd's I might even get to look at some stuff for me today!

Have a good one
