CAN'T WAIT TO DO THE WASHING

Can I just say how excited I am to do the washing later on today?   I know... it's weird wanting to do the washing!

Did I tell you that I bought the biggest top loader on the market (Domestic use)?

Yeah.  I will probably fall in it at some point. 

Nah, I will use a little step stool and me 'grabber'.

I'll show you what me grabber is later.  I'm in bed, so ain't getting up to take a photo right now.

What I'm looking forward to THE MOST is re-washing me towels, and have them come out 'normal' again!

So, a bit later on this morning we will go and pick up the washing machine, get it home and then Steve is coming over to help Stew put it in the laundry.

Once that is done, we are gunna just have a nice, quiet day. 🐔

Stew is tired, he's been up in Auckland at a work conference for a couple of days.  I'd say 'poor man' but I think he rather likes them.

Yesterday, while I was out emptying the trailer, a bloke came over and chatted with me.

He was a local real estate agent, just making himself known.

We had a really great chat!  Mostly about shared house buying/selling experiences.  

Anyway, after yakking for about 40 minutes he left, but not before giving me this:

ABOVE:  I'm going to put it on a lanyard and wear it when I go out and about.  It's damn neat don't ya think?

Oh and I reckon he'd be a nice agent to use if you were wanting to sell in Hamilton.  There's a plug for ya Nick. 😊

And that's about all I have for now.

CHICKENS!

CATCH YA LATER.

9.30 am:  It's been raining all morning, so we have not been able to pick up the washing machine yet.

Stew's gone to the supermarket for our usual 'Friday Night' supplies.

Which means a week's worth of DIET COKE.  Among other things.

ABOVE: THIS is me 'Grabber'.  I use it to open and close curtains that I can't reach behind furniture, pick up dog toys off the floor etc.

I'm sure I can use it (if necessary), to get washing from the bottom of the washing machine.

ABOVE:  Steve and Bex can visit anytime, if they come with boxes of MAMA'S DONUTS!!!!!!

OMG morning tea has arrived.

LYNDA:  Well Stew said it's because I only like 'Big Units' like him!

But in reality, I do washing once a week.  I save it all up and so, I have a lot of washing at the end of the week.

And I like the versatility of being able to do a small or large load.

Each to their own.

ABOVE:  It arrived...

ABOVE:  LOOK how BIG it looks beside the other one!

ABOVE:  Yes Sharon, it is an agitator type.

ABOVE:  It has the cutest shimmery lid. It's labeled as Scratch Resistant.  So Steve tried it out.  I nearly throttled him.

ABOVE:  Steve could hardly move for the girls mobbing him.  They are just so CUTE!

ABOVE:  Chipping the corner off the shelf so the lid could be raised fully.

ABOVE:  Lynda, this is our garage/wet fridge.  And no, we don't quite go through that many Diet Cokes in a week!  But just in case... we have plenty. 😆😊😋

AND.... the beer is mostly for visitors, as is the wine.  There's water too!  And milk if anyone wants a cuppa tea/coffee.

See, it's a WELL BALANCED fridge.

ABOVE:  Amanda trying out the Ottoman, as a seat and coffee table...

ABOVE:  and as a storage unit.  lol

ABOVE:  2 pm, more visitors!  Griffin and Kayla... and more laps for the girls to sit on.  Little hussies.

ABOVE:  Well after a couple of hours on our own, Steve and Bex came back and cooked dinner for all of us!

We had a delicious Chicken and Bacon Cabonara.

ABOVE:  Brylee joined us for dinner too.   After the main, we all had some ice cream and chocolate sauce.  🐥🐤

Everyone  has now left, it's back to peace and quiet and just us and the dogs.

Stew is watching rugby on TV, and I am going to browse You Tube.

Catch ya tomorrow.
