NEW HOME'S NAME

Well, the cat's been out of the bag for a while re: the house name.  I put it on my Facebook a while ago.

So I better tell you what it is.

ABOVE: There ya go. 

It's called that after all my 'rusty bits' in the garden, and our rusty letterbox.

Not anything else that might be 'rusty', thank you very much! Keep you mind out of the gutter... STEVE!

It's Christmas Eve.   I hope everyone is ready?
Food sorted. Gifts sorted.  Friends and Family lined up to visit, or already visiting.

Tonight Stew finishes work and has 20 days holiday.
He will have the next few days 'off', then it will be back into getting the pool area ready, then putting the pool up.

With it being so damn hot now... it's going to be wonderful once we can get in it.
I might be in it more than I'm out of it!

And that's 'it' for now.  Catch ya later on in the day.

ONWARD...

10 am:  Stinking hot and Steve's outside getting ready to level the lawn.

ABOVE: And it really starts now!

So exciting.

A bit funny.  Steve just got mail HERE.   LOL
OLD MOO... your Xmas Card arrived.

ABOVE: I just hung the first replacement curtain in the family room. They are from the lounge in our Cambridge house. We took them down before we put the house on the market, and put up the original ones that were in the house when we bought it.

And I have just enough to do the family room here. BOOM! A saving for us.


I am going to replace the lounge curtains too... but not sure what will go there yet. Maybe if I can get the exact same curtains I will put them there too. I can't remember where I got them though! *sigh* I THINK they might have been from Spotlight.


Lacy and Bex have gone to the supermarket... crikey ya need all sorts of extras for Christmas!

edit:  I don't have to buy curtains for the lounge!  I've got 6 drops from Cambridge, 4 for the family room and 2 for the lounge.  Awesome!

It's 3 pm and Steve's done for the day.  It's gotten too hot to be out there now.  He's knackered.
He's getting 2 days off now, and he deserves it. 

 ABOVE:  About 1/4 of the topsoil taken off... good progress for the day.  

8.08 pm:  Well... I'm thrilled to say I got all the curtains shortened to fit our windows, and hung them all!
Another job crossed off the list.
I cooked Macaroni Cheese for dinner, that went down very well.

After dinner, Amanda and her big boys, Huston and Joel visited Stew and I.  It was lovely to see them. The boys are growing so big now!  

Steve and co. were out and about during that time.

It  is now wind down time.  I'm going to watch Coronation Street, a Christmas Special.
Stew and Steve and spewing.  They will have to watch something else in the lounge.  *SIGH*... OR I could tape it and watch it at a later date I suppose.  

We will see.

Time to sign off.  Catch you all tomorrow... SANTA IS ON HIS WAY!
