ABOVE: the double door cupboard, with enough room for the pram, highchair and porta-cot too! AWESOME.
ABOVE: the single door cupboard... with the central vac hose in the bottom too, and heaps of room for more linen if I feel the URGE to buy more! ( not likely to happen eh?) ha ha ha!
OH, and talking of Central Vac, here's Brylee doing some vacuming yesterday afternoon... you are never too young to learn eh? And she loved doing it (wont' last).... I now have two vacum cleaners to sell... don't need them!
Todays's plans...
- kids to school
- take a load of stuff to the Hospice Shop
- continue working on the garage
That's all..... for now.
SHOOT ME... I decided to take a break from unpacking... and went to Manukau City Mall... and bought a wee water feature for the lounge with Stew's Father's Day Gift Voucher (thanks Amanda and Andrew!)... and a couple of cute blue candles too.
How cute is that ? The little lights change colour every couple of seconds. And the candles smell lovely!
I have been having trouble with me camera lately too, so I just spent a good hour reading the instruction book... think I've got it all sorted now.. I can even take photos in black and white, I didn't know that! DERRRRRR.
There are some evil looking storm clouds gathering outside right now... looks like thunder and lightening might happen too... NEAT! LOVE LOVE LOVE storms.
Shame I have to pick up the kids soon... might get wet.
Pfffffft... the 'storm' lasted about 30 mintues... thunder/lightening/heavy rain... and now it's gloriously fine again. Suppose this is good, won't get wet walking to school and back will I?
End of Day: well any plans I had for tonight got shelved, me body is just aching all over... think I've overdone it BIG TIME! I can hardly lift me arms at all. They HURT!
NSV: well I didn't cook dinner, we got FISH AND CHIPS.. was bloody nice too. nite nite.

Love catching up with your blog and seeing your beautiful home. You are amazingly happy Chris I am really happy for you all. Griffin, hope the tooth fairy came.. I think inflation has put teeth up to $5.00 each now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving the mags and videos Chris. Well, I've been home again for 4 nights and now off to Napier. I've been away for 4 out of 6 months. Still this time it's for love so fingers crossed all goes well on Friday.
Rubbish day? I assume that means garbage day. I get a kick out of the lingo down under.
ReplyDeleteYour new house looks just wonderful - you sound so very happy - good on you. Love the central vacuuming system and the large linen cupboard.
ReplyDeleteThat water feature is rather pretty...like the candles as well.
ReplyDeleteI remember those Auckland 'storms'. Blink twice and you risk missing them. having said that, I've also lived through some pretty good Auckland storms. :-)
I used to enjoy the summer showers as well. Only trouble is, the mugginess afterards...
Chris - you crack me up!!!! Here you are decluttering, taking things to the Hospice shop, then go shopping!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of the house. Lovely kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWe've had thunder and lightning today too. In fact four seasons in one day. The sun's shining now.
300 a day! Wow girl, you out blog me.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to list the followers myself. They do that and it's listed automatically after they do it.
It's my bed time here.
Have a great day girl.
Well I also enjoy storms. Ginny is terrified and hides things. I love to stand out in them watch the excitement. I got that from my Mother.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom, would go down to the Beach and walk out in the water with a beer in one hand . Shake her fist up at God and dare him to hit her with lightening and stand there until the storm let up or the beer went down.
Your new home looks just great!
