I DID THINK ABOUT IT

 

DOGSTARS made a comment yesterday about my rusty bits, and how I could have re-homed them.

Yes, I did consider that, but at the end of the day I just didn't have the energy or heart to try and re-home or sell them.

I just wanted them gone asap.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Same is probably going to happen to a few garden pots too.... if no one wants them I will put them out on the front grass verge for free.

Lacy, come over today, I have some gardens pots you can have.  

We have an Open Home this afternoon... so it's the usual weekend day.  Make the house presentable.  Get out while the Open is on.

Then relax.

Catch ya later.

Lacy's last guinea pig passed away sadly, after three days of battling his injuries.

I just sold the guinea pig hutch on Marketplace.  No more guinea pigs.

She can now concentrate on her little kitty, Sylvie.

Stew and Keera have gone to the supermarket.  I'm about to start washing the guttering and downpipes... cos hey! Seems they were one of the reasons our house sale fell through!

SERIOUSLY.

The single biggest thing I have to do is paint 80%  of the soffits.  They are 'dirty' as well.  I mean for fucks sake!!!  It's a 30 year old house.  It's not going to look like a brand spanking new home is it?

I'm still fuming about it, and while I've felt like crying a few times, I haven't.  Staying stoic.  Optimistic.  Hopeful.

ABOVE:  Keera pointing to the SOFFIT, which I will be painting this coming week.   We luckily don't have to repaint all the soffit, just the snail trailed parts.  lol  edit:  I double checked, and we are going to paint all the soffits.  Can't do one part without showing up the rest.

Did you know snail trails DO NOT come off, even with a good scrub?  Yeah.  Bastard snails.

I got that entire length of guttering cleaned today.  Good job done.

Another NO SHOW day!  It is so disappointing when you go to all that effort, for nothing.

Next weekend we are only having one Open Home, stuff doing two in a row again.

I am beyond understanding why this home has not sold yet!  Seems just our lousy luck.  5 out of our 7 homes have taken bloody ages to sell.

After the Open Home, we went shopping.  Found some clothes/togs for Keera, another 2 drink bottles, one for Stew and a spare for me.  Then on to the shoe shops, where I finally found some lovely, dressy sandals to wear at the wedding next weekend.

I think I am going to just chill out now, and try not to feel too depressed.  Lucky there's no jelly beans in the pantry.

ABOVE:  Matchy matchy.  They are the nicest drink 'bottles' we have ever used.  

Keera just enjoyed a dip in the pool, Stew and I are just too tired to be bothered.  We are going out for dinner, probably McDonalds.  What kid doesn't enjoy friggin McD's?

ABOVE: How can someone so small eat:  two burgers, large fries, a McFlurry and a large coke???

I could only manage one burger, 3 McNuggets and a few fries.

Bottomless, growing pit obviously.

Home now, and it's going to be a quiet evening in front of the telly, as per usual.

Catch ya tomorrow.
