ALL COMING TOGETHER

 Late yesterday afternoon I decided to have a go at assembling the wardrobe system in my 'new' wardrobe 'room'.

But I ran into a small problem:

ABOVE:  This is the metal strip that runs along the top of the wall, and everything hangs off it.

I couldn't get some of the screws off it.

So.... hmmmm.

I thought, I'll send a photo of them to Steve, asking him how to get them off.

And then I sat down and waited.

I didn't have to wait long.... within 15 minutes he arrived! 😄😊😉

I kinda thought he would.  

Bex and the little boys came too.

ABOVE: And BOOM!  Within half an hour my wardrobe system was up and ready to have all my clothes put back on it.

ABOVE:  Today I will sort all my clothes out and re-hang them.  That will give me a reason to get out of bed.

Gosh I've had that pink checkered shirt for YEARS!  And it still fits me.  It's one of my favourite shirts.

ABOVE: How cute are our girls.  They ran around and around the back yard last night, then Marley learnt how to run up the big rock!

She kept doing it, she was just adorable to watch.

ABOVE:  Steve enjoyed a refreshing swim after his work day.  And although I asked them nicely, the girls just would not sit and pose for a photo in front of the rock!  😆😅😂

So, I think it will be a happy day.  I shall just potter around doing some odd jobs. 

Catch ya later.

9 am and...

ABOVE:  It's done!  It took me an hour and a half all up.  

About a third of those clothes I've had for well over 10 years, so I'm thinking I might have to start getting ruthless, and give them to the Op Shop.

No point hanging on to clothes that I MIGHT wear again one day.  Who else does that?

Seriously, I'm not gunna wear them, and they are just taking up room.

ABOVE:  I am super happy to have enough space in this room for the PC.  I've constantly had to move it from room to room ever since we moved here.

It fits there perfectly, and I have a little, fold up stool to sit on when I do need to use the bigger computer, which is usually when I need to print stuff out.

Now that's done, I shall move on to getting the curtains from the family room/dining room re-hung.

I want to change the curtain rods, so am off to Spotlight shortly to suss out options.

1.55 pm: And I ended up going into Curtain Studio in town, where they had some old, obsolete curtain rail brackets for me.  They GAVE them to me!  Said they were so old they were not on their system anymore, so they couldn't sell them to me.  SCORE!

They only had enough for the family and dining rooms... so the lounge may end up with new curtain rails.

Then I went to The Base and got some wrapping paper at The Warehouse.

I was standing in an aisle, when I saw a small (14 month old?) baby standing up in the trolley, in imminent danger of falling out onto the concrete floor.  No adult around....

So I quickly head over to stop it falling, but it sat down again.  PHEW!

I look around for the mother... there she is, wandering back from a couple of aisles over.  I said to her "Hey, your baby just stood up in the trolley".

She replied "Oh did he?"

I shook my head and started to walk away.

Next thing, she's beside me saying "And what business is it of yours anyway, what my baby is doing?"

I looked at her like she was a friggin IDIOT, and said "Well your baby could have fallen onto the concrete floor and been injured".

Her reply?  "Well if that had happened I would have dealt with it".  

I was like, yep, not gunna argue with this goddam idiot, and walked away.

Some people simply do not deserve children. 

There are safety belts on all trolleys, to be used so ya baby doesn't fall out onto the floor ffs.  I'm still fuming about it to be honest.

ABOVE:  Lacy drove up to Auckland today to pick up Griffin.  He's down for a couple of days, hanging out with family and friends.

Some people are utter morons.  Seems I'm to be blamed for everything my kids do in life?  Good or bad.  Down to ME.  Hmmmm.

I do believe I shall just dismiss ANON and the next comment he/she left (NOT published), because you just can't argue with STUPID PEOPLE.

Moving on... I'm making a chicken stir fry for our dinner tonight, with a side of Chicken flavoured rice.  I reckon Stew will like that.

Awww dinner was so YUM tonight!  I'm stuffed, and going to just sit and blob out for the remainder of the evening.

It's getting cooler, so much easier to sleep at night now.  Bring on WINTER!  I love, love winter.
