BOXING DAY

 Well... it's traditionally the day to go and shop till ya drop, taking advantage of the Boxing Day Sales.

But not for us.  We've only done that a very few times, but usually we don't.  It's just crazy in the malls and no fun at all.

So, today will be a quieter day here at home.

Yesterday, Archer accidentally left one of his soft toys here.

Marley found it and had a good go at eating it, but I managed to retrieve it off her before it was ruined.

ABOVE: She REALLY loved that soft toy, and tried several times to get it back.  She was really sad when I said NO.

ABOVE:  So, I went down to the Tin Shed to find some baby toys she might like to play with instead.

But NO.  She had ABSOLUTELY no interest in them at all.  She was rather dejected.

ABOVE: So this lot came back with a couple of soft toys to see if she would like either of them.

How lovely of them!

ABOVE: She instantly fell in love with this little white bunny.  

ABOVE:  Not only did she love the bunny, she kept snuggling up to Archer with it in her mouth.

She loves Archer just as much as Archer loves her.  It's so sweet to these see two together.

ABOVE:  I gave the dining table a re-vamp.

ABOVE: Gorgeous flowers in my garden.  I just LOVE these Gladiolus... I'd love to get more!  I only have three in this garden.  Those two above I brought over from Cambridge, and the one on my dining table was already here.

Same with my hydrangeas, I am going to get more.  I noticed some of my neighbours have them... so I might go begging for cuttings at some point.

ABOVE:  Last night I moved the couch and chairs a bit.  There is another change about to happen in here too.  Nothing major as it's too small a room to do much.

But you can bet ya bottom dollar I'm gunna show ya... later!

ABOVE: This area of the sun room is going to change a bit too.

Right, time to get up and start the day.

If you are gunna go shopping ... HAVE FUN, and try not to get frustrated and throttle anyone!

ONWARD...

12.47 pm:  And it's been a busy morning.

ABOVE: While Griffin was still here, he helped Stew move this china cabinet from the sun room, into the lounge.

ABOVE:  I then moved all my Britto from one side of the lounge to the other, therefore getting it out of the thoroughfare.

ABOVE: Then the majority of the stuff that was in the 2nd china cabinet (from the sun room) went into what was the Britto cabinet.

I have room in it, which is lucky cos...

ABOVE:  I have found a new 'collection'!  And we have ONE PIECE so far.

ABOVE:  Dr Seuss figurines.  I already have my eye on our next one.  It's Cat In The Hat of course!  So far I've only seen about 5 pieces in Acquisitions.  So it might be a very slow growing collection.

ABOVE:  Our Britto Cabinet is rather full!  But, there is still room for more. 😊😏

ABOVE:  The sunroom is looking way less cluttered now.  Once Brylee leaves home (in the freakin' distant future), we can put a couple of chairs down there, or just the kids toys.

And that's me for now... having lunch, then MIGHT venture out.

3.48 pm:  Well.. Stew and I decided to go to The Base.  To see just how busy it was. 

ABOVE:  It was so busy they had opened up a couple of areas of undeveloped land between The Base and Harvey Norman's for parking!  I'd never seen that before.

As for what it was like in the mall?

CRAZY busy. We didn't spend too much time inside the actual Mall as it was just so congested with people.

I did manage to get some more Foundation and nail polish etc, 40% off PLUS another 10% off with our Staff Card (courtesy of Brylee, who works at Farmers). 

That's one of the few bonus's of still having her living at home!

Gee Wizzz.... it's SUPER QUIET on here today!  I hope you are all having a fabulous day... not stuck inside reading blogs (obviously lol).

I don't mind, really I don't.  Just glad you are probably having fun with friends and family.

10.20 pm: Well... it's that time of the day.  Been a quiet evening... had left overs for dinner.  Probably be the same tomorrow night as well.

It's just what ya expect after Christmas!

Catch ya tomorrow.
