I am coming to love Fridays, Stew is flying home tonight.. and flying back on Monday morning.. so something to look forward to today.

Last night I fluffed around in the lounge again, did some rearranging of furniture, kept me busy: It's all about DE-CLUTTERING:



YOU probably can't tell the difference, but I can! MAN I will do just about anything to present this house better so some bugger will buy it!

And, it's 4am and I'm awake....

BUGGER DAMN AND BLAST... I bought some paint yesterday to 'touch up' a couple of scraps on walls, did the dining room patches last night, and in the light of day.... the bloody paint is a slightly different shade ... so I'll have to repaint the entire wall , goddamit. Oh yeah, good morning! Couldn't get back to sleep after taking Griffin to the loo at 3.30am, that's why I was awake at 4 am updating/reading bloody blogs!


Been shopping... bought a rebounder.... I hate trampolines (too dangerous) so thought this would be the next best thing... the kids LOVE IT and it gets them off their bums... all good.

Very quiet afternoon, Brylee has hardly gotten off the little rebounder all day! She's in heaven... Griffin bounces every now and then, but really doesn't love it like her. I havn't had a turn yet...Mike did and hit his stoooopid head on the ceiling! Not long now till we go out to the airport and pick up His Nibs....

End of Day: Stew is home safely... kids are rev'd up, sending them to bed shortly! Tired.

NSV: NONE that I can think of, except I have been exceptionally busy... that's exercise eh! nite nite.

  10. TeeHee...

    RE-Comment:

    that tickled me. It does cost a fortune, as far as I know it cost OVER £400, depending on where I would go and the reputaion of the person/company and of course being eyebrows I would want a blummin good job done, as anyone would. The top ups cost around about £200 AND....teehee they don't just tattoo two lines....teehee they tatto the feathery hair like lines so they look like real hair.

    Hugs xx

  14. Definitely sounds like you had quite the busy day. I bet the kids are loving that little rebounder. I would probably break one if I got on there. And hit my head on the ceiling!

    Wow, that exercise routine sounds fab!!

    I HATE painting - I feel your pain on that one.

    As for the rebounder - on 'You Are What You Eat' the nutritionist frequently recommends these little trampolines as exercise - might be a fun way to squeeze more movement into your day. Cool purchase!

  17. Decluttering! Oh, that is a cruel word for me. I love visiting decluttered houses but I shall never be able to apply that process to mine. I just work on making the house look decluttered without doing it.

    That bouncing thing - I am sure I had one stored under my bed many years ago.....

    My kids would love a trampoline, but I agree with you -- they're too dangerous. Especially with my kids. They're dangerous w/o a trampoline.
