CAUSED A SHUDDER!

 Gosh I totally forgot to show you this yesterday!

While looking for slip covers at the Laz-Y-Boy shop, I wandered into the connected Hunters Furniture store.

And saw this:

ABOVE:  Seriously!  I almost shuddered.  It took me right back to when I was literally a little kid in the 60's.

WHO in their right mind would buy something like that now days???  It's HIDEOUS.

You would have to be seriously into Art Deco.

I am going to really enjoy being old.  Some might say I already am, but if I went around being too honest right now, I don't think I'd get away with it.  YET.

I still guard what I say in a lot of situations, for fear of offending or being judged.

It's bloody annoying!  Sometimes I do open me gob and just let rip, but not too often.

Anyone else feel the same way?  I'd love to know.

Tonight we are having dinner at The Base with Steve, Bex and the boys.  Lacy, Brylee, Griffin, Amanda... want to join us?  You would be most welcome.

After dinner we are off to Harvey Norman's to look at a specific TV.  One that might look awesome in the family room.

I will show it to you, IF we get it.  But not until the renovations are finished, then you will see why we got it (if we did!).  

Now, back to this morning.  I'm up, ready for the painters to arrive in 10-15 minutes.  While they work I am going to do some sewing.

OMG, you lovers of GREEN !  

I did have a green leather lounge suite years ago, gave it to Russell from Memory.

Lacy just called in.  I followed her all around the house, making sure she didn't hide any money.

In the end, I totally did not trust her.  

So I patted her down, opened her pockets, and even shoved me hand in her bra!

Found the money.  Took it.

Will make sure she ends up with it again in the next couple of days.

She will be here tomorrow and over the weekend as we have Miss Muppet.

The 'boss' from the painting company arrived to check things out.  He's lovely.

He's not charging me for adding the skirting boards onto the job!!!  AND he told the men to do extra painting (the ceiling) in our ensuite shower room too!  Again no extra cost.

He's doing it as a favor to us, as we have gone over and above for them, by emptying the rooms of everything except major furniture.  

ABOVE: That's Justin, the owner of Keith Mahon Painters.  He got told to 'pose', so pose he did.  No point arguing really... he knows another 'boss' when he meets her. 😂😅😆   

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who thinks that lounge suite is YUKKKKKKK.  For me, it's not just the colour, it's the style as well. All over Ikkkk.

So, it's now 5.11 pm and I'm actually really, really tired.

I have been out and about and all over the place today.

I went to Spotlight and bought some covers for the lounge chairs.  Then need some 'adjustments' before they are perfect.

I'll do that tomorrow.

I also made something for the inside of my car.

I'll show you that tomorrow too.

For now, I just need to relax for a minute, and put me feet up.  The painters cover all our furniture in the lounge and family room, so there's really nowhere to sit and relax while they are here.

Griffin just arrived, he's about to have a shower before we go out for dinner.  NOT a fancy dinner, just food court, as the little boys almost always just want Sushi or McDonalds.

Suits us, we are not really 'fancy' restaurant type people anyway.

Best laid plans... go awry.  The food court was packed, so Steve and Bex got KFC and brought it back to our house for dinner.

Then we all took off to look at TV's.

ABOVE:  I didn't realise Steve was looking for a TV too!

ABOVE:  Us standing around waiting for Steve to get his telly.

ABOVE:  Don't ask!  😂😆😅

After Noel Leeming's (where Steve got his telly) we went over to Harvey Norman's to check out the one I had my eye on.

Probably bought it.

Yeah Nah.  Did.

It's now sitting in my sewing room until we can set it up on the weekend.

Now home and just going to chill out until bedtime.
