PREP DAY

 Today we are prepping the main bathroom for it's new flooring, vanity and toilet.  

Which will involve some sanding, then painting.

I am going to paint the wet room too, as it's looking in need of a lick of paint.

Our ensuite is all ready, thank goodness.

It is all going to look so good once it's all finished!

We are still feeling very happy that only the kitchen and bathrooms are being done this week.

It gives us time to get them all finished before tackling the carpet and all that involves. (moving furniture out, taking doors off hinges etc)

I made another little bear last night, but I'm just not happy with it at all.

It's so hard to stitch up the 'gap' once it's been stuffed.  So I'm going back to the drawing board and making a better pattern, one that has a 'gap' down the back that I can then hand stitch closed.

I will give it another couple of goes, and if I'm still not happy with them, I shall stop even trying.  

Here's a few happy snaps taken over the past week:

ABOVE:  Our darling Miss Muppet spent the past week with us and her MUM.  She spent every single day with her Mum, and they had a fantastic time.  Keera just loves being out on the farm with all the animals, and spending time with her Mum.  So very neat to see them together.

Now, this is called covering my arse, in case anyone tries to blame me.

When I picked Keera up last Friday (1st October), from school, she had clearly had another haircut.  

A haircut that was not sanctioned by her mother, and should have been.  Those bastards chopped all her beautiful hair off!

ABOVE: Not only that, but whoever did it, made a right mess of it.

ABOVE:  Like, WHAT THE FUCK?

I looked at that bloody mess for an entire week, then I couldn't stand it any longer, and snipped off the long bits.  I did not make her hair any SHORTER, just took off the bloody horrible longer bits.

If a hairdresser did this, they should be shot.

RANT OVER.

*HATERS AND TROLLS, don't even bother ... my comment editor will NOT publish your comments, or inform me of them.  Any and all nasty comments get deleted immediately.

The kerosene lamp I bought off Trademe arrived.

It was wrapped so well it took me a good 5 minutes to get it unwrapped!

ABOVE:  When I finally cut through all the sellotape, cardboard and bubble wrap, my sense of smell was assaulted by KEROSENE!

It obviously still had a tiny amount in it, and it has seeped out into the packaging.  Ikkkk.

But, the lamp itself was intact and I love it.  It's now hanging in the sunroom until it stops stinking. 😂😊

Because we don't have Miss Muppet here now, I am going to lie in bed and be a bit lazy.  Might get up soon though... me feet are starting to twitch. 

OMG I'm laughing my head off.   Talk about pathetic!  Trying to hack me?  Join me up to all sorts of random sites?  Bring it you twats.  I just hit DELETE.  

ABOVE:  Steve's in the house!

He's plastering and sanding in the main bathroom.  

Super duper day so far.  We all had hot chip butties for lunch.  

Steve got the main bathroom plastered, sanded and then skimmed, ready for paint work tomorrow.

ABOVE:  Stew un-boxed all the stuff for the bathrooms.  So exciting seeing it all ready to get installed.  So soooooooon.

6.30 pm:  And the Covid spread continues.  I feel like it will never go away, and we will be locked down until a high % of our population is vaccinated.

I can't wait till that day.

This afternoon I had a nana nap, and then prepared dinner.  Which is Pork Schnitzel, lettuce salad and cheese ball croquettes, and Kumara ball croquettes.  I found them at the supermarket and you just throw them in the oven.

Fingers crossed they are good.

9.19 pm:  Well... the cheese croquettes were yuk, and the Kumera ones were surprisingly lovely!  And I hate kumera.  

Been watching TV, blogging and just being a lazy tart, as per usual.  Well... lazy in the evenings.

Time to sign off for the day.  Catch ya tomorrow.
