THE BIN SAGA

 The bins.

Yeah... they didn't fit on the vinyl because the carpet layer took the carpet too far into the kitchen space.

So, the other day I took a really good look at the bins.

ABOVE:  The handle on each bin was up against the wall.  So, the bins sat partly on the vinyl.

ABOVE: Looking... looking... and I had a literal FACE PLANT moment!!!

IF I TURNED THE BINS AROUND, AND HAD THE HANDLES TURNED TO THE SIDE....

ABOVE: The bins rotated so the handles are on the side, not the back.

ABOVE: And BOOM! With a little nudge and kick, they bloody well fit.  JUST.

How did Stew, Steve, Bex, Lacy and I not work that out sooner???

I feel such a twat.

But happy it works, and we don't need to get the carpet cut back.

ABOVE: A 'parcel' arrived yesterday afternoon.

I might hold off showing you what it is, until it's put together.

It's been put on the driveway, but this morning Bex is coming around to help me move it into the garage.  It has to be un-boxed to move it.

We can't leave it on the driveway because sometime next week the driveway is being re-sealed.

Once we have moved that into the garage, I'm going to head into my sewing room and do some sewing.

12.20 pm:  Well it was up and at it this morning. Bex and the boys arrived at 9.

Bex and I proceeded in ripping into the big box parked on the driveway.  All it's contents are now safely in the garage.

Once the driveway is re-sealed the men can assemble it.

You are gunna have to wait to see what it is!

ABOVE: Sneak Peak.  Any guesses?

I'm sure most of you will get it right.

ABOVE: We are so lucky to still have Marley.  If we turned our backs, Archer would smuggle her off to his home, permanently.

It is such a shame they cannot have a dog at their rental.  He is such a dog lover.

I'm not sure what to do now.  Sew?  Or go out and look at Christmas stuff in the shops?

Such decisions.  

Shopping won out.

I went to The Base, then Chartwell Square.

ABOVE:  I got two new family members.  Names still to be decided.

ABOVE: Here's the weirdest thing.  It's only the middle of November, yet they are already on Sale for half price?

What's with that.  The only thing I can think of is that advertise them as "half price" so you think you are getting a bargain?  And in actual fact they paid a quarter of the ORIGINAL price for them. Still making 100% profit. 

ABOVE: Chartwell at 2 pm today.  A ghost town.

9.15 pm:  And I've had a lovely quiet afternoon and evening.

We had roast chicken and veges for dinner tonight, it was lovely.

Now as per usual, we are watching TV before bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.

OH... the parcel was....   wait for it!
