That's great, it will cover the cost of fencing material we need for the back yard. Will show you what needs doing out there once we get the wood to build the fence.
TODAY:
- Get up at 5am and zip out to the airport to see my dear friend Chris D and her hubby... they are getting back from England and arriving in Auckland before catching a connecting flight to Palmerston North. I hope to spend a good hour or so with them.
- kids to school
- watch Tradme auctions.. it is usually so much fun to see the prices go up and up!
- do a bit of housework I suppose!
That's about it for now.....
I just spent an hour with my friends out at the airport..it was NEAT to catch up with them... they had been in England for a month.
TRADEME is the same as ebay, except it is New Zealand based.
It is nearly time to take the kids to school so I better be off for now.... we are in for showers today, so hopefully we can dodge the rain on our way to school....
PROGRESS SHOTS:
ABOVE: Brylee's room, I just hung that picture... and I even found a bloody stud!
ABOVE: The spare bedroom with it's 'other' picture... one I made for our last dining room, but it seems to fit here well.
ABOVE: Our room... and do you think I can find our white valance???? NOPE, nowhere ! It's the ONE thing we seem to have 'lost' in the move...
ABOVE: our room with it's little patio... not that we are ever likely to sit out on it! But it's pretty with some pots/plants out there.
SANDRA...awww nice to know I'm missed, even if I've only been gone TWO WEEKS!!! ha ha ha!
KAREN DEBORAH: me get a job??? Are you NUTS??? I like being a 'kept woman'.... well for now anyway! Maybe I will get a part time job eventually... but not just yet! I'm enjoying me freedom.
WOOOO HOOOO... I listed my freezer at a reserve of $100 and it sold for... $563 ! How awesome is that? Now I just have 7 other things to go over the next few days....
End of Day: had a busy evening sewing names on kids uniforms... another good job done.
NSV: I am making plans. nite nite.

When the rest of the world is losing their's you're making money hand over foot!

You've had a very busy day. The house looks very homey and comfy. Good luck get rid of all you extra stuff.
ReplyDeleteBeing a kept woman is fun, isn't it? Great luck on the freezer!
ReplyDeleteit is amazing once you start to de-clutter exactly how much you can make on the re-sale market.
ReplyDeleteWe sold 6 pictures to a collector for 2750.00 paid for them originally around 200.(20+ years ago.)
We went to the Flea-Market over at Hfx. Forum and sold over 400.00 worth of collectables and other junk.
Still have several boxes of stuff to sell yet. We have a site here similar where you can put items up and people will call if interested "Kijiji".
