WHOOPS, FORGOT!

While at Steve 'n' Bex's last night, I spied a little 'fish dish' on their shelving unit.

I was like "Oh that's so cute, where did you get it?"

To which Bex replied "You gave it to me!"

For the life of me I could not remember giving it to her, let alone it once being mine!

So anyway, I was given it back, thanks Bex. 😊😌

ABOVE:  I DID remember, after giving it some thought, owing it when we lived up in Auckland.

I even remember what shop I bought it from.

It was from a Japanese import shop in Manukau Mall.

Cheap as too.  Isn't it so cute!

Thursday already!  This week is going so fast.

I don't feel like I've done very much this week.

Just plodding along, keeping myself busy.

ABOVE: This is what I did yesterday afternoon.  I cut two sheets of particle board to fit inside my puzzle board.  Now I can protect the puzzle from little fingers while I'm not working on it.  AND move the board without losing any pieces either.

I have one more edge to cut down to size (red arrows), I'll do that sometime today.  *The black elastic is to lift each panel off easily.

8.55 am: Whoop!  I just spent a bit of time on the phone and computer, organising our next weekend away.

Stew and I will be heading down to Wanganui/Palmerston North and Wellington on the 14th of May.  A 4 day jaunt away.

We will be staying with Stew's sister in Wanganui, then seeing friends and family in Palmerston North, then a day trip to Wellington.

Sounds fun!  Busy, lots of travelling, but a neat get-away.

We didn't manage a get-away in April, we had too much on.  I wasn't going to let May be another miss!  

Shivers it's cool this morning.  Time to get a move on and warm up.

10.25 am:  And I've finished my jig saw covers.  Now I know the puzzle is safe from pieces getting lost.

I then moved on to my next job:

ABOVE:  Sorting out all my herbs and spices.

ABOVE:  About a year ago I bought this revolving spice rack.  

I bloody hate it!  I can't put my finger on exactly  WHY I hate it, I just do. 

So, I'm going back to my little click clack containers.

And that will take me a while I'm sure.  It's a good time to check expiry dates and toss out stuff I never use.

AND before anyone asks ... I am going to use the revolving rack for buttons in the sewing room. 

ABOVE:  12.39 pm:  And it's done.  So much better now.  YES, it takes up more room in the pantry, but I won't be getting frustrated spinning that damn spice rack looking for what I need.  It's all there at a glance now.

LUNCHTIME...

And now it's dinnertime.

And Stew won't be home from Rotorua until around 7 pm. 

I am tired.  I have done heaps of housework this afternoon.

Washing. Vacuming. Cleaning stuff. 

OH and I did some of my actual jig saw too.

While I was doing that, the girls decided it would be a great idea to jump all over the beds and pull all the pillows and cushions onto the floor!

They like doing that while I'm not watching. 😂😅😖

8.44 pm:  Right, I'm done for the day.  Stew is home safe and sound.  Dinner was Chicken Sausages, Roast potatoes and veges.  And Gravy.
