DARK CARPET

 

The carpet in our new home is a dark grey, bordering on charcoal.

And it's a bloody nightmare!

Who the hell puts a dark carpet throughout their house?  It shows up every single little bit of fluff, dust, dropped bits 'n' pieces... OMG I will be vacuuming every day!  Grrrr.   As it's a fairly new carpet, we won't be replacing it either.  That would be a waste of money.  

Right, little bitch over.

Moving on. 

People coming today:

- Quote for DVS at 9 am. DONE

- Quote for HRV at 11.30.   We will be getting one or the other.  DONE

- Plumber due sometime to assess jobs.  DONE

- Bathroom Renovation firm at 1 pm to give a quote.  DONE

- Village Nurse due sometime for chat, get to know us.  DONE

- Electrician due at 4 pm to assess jobs.  DONE

I cannot believe ALL of them decided today was the best day to come!

Tomorrow we have NO ONE coming.  So clearly, today we will be home all day, talking to all these people about what we would like done.

Except the nurse.  She just wants to make sure we ain't gunna drop dead any time soon. 😂😅😉

ABOVE:  So, I decided overnight that the trolley would fit better in the front lounge window area, not the coffee table.

As the purchaser of our previous home had expressed an interest in buying the coffee table, I just sold it to her.  She will get it tomorrow.

Yaaa, one less thing I have to put on Marketplace.  

We just had our first visitor, the DVS man. His visit went well... he was quick and efficient.

Second home ventilation guy is here.  He has been rambling about all the aspects of home ventilation for about an hour already... he's doing my head in.  Luckily I can walk away, and leave Stew to listen to him!  lol

If this bloody salesman doesn't leave soon I'm gunna have to kill him!

He is now walking around my house with a metre... taking measurements.  NOT NECESSARY.  Just give us a goddam quote to put three units in the roof and bugger off.  

HOLD ON, he's already done that... now he's just being annoying.  

I'm trying to cook our lunch, we have someone else coming in 9 minutes, and I'm getting bloody angry.

20 minutes later:  That HRV guy was wandering around our house doing his measurements, and I just felt like he was invading our privacy!  He spent ages in our bedroom... ikkkk.  In the end I said to him he needed to leave so we could have our lunch, which was cooking and nearly ready.  And I told him I was getting rather annoyed.

HE LEFT pretty quickly after that.

Can't think why.

Next minute, the bathroom renovation guy arrived, so I stood and ate my lunch while talking to him!

And then he left, and the village nurse arrived.

Nice friendly chat ensued, then she has just left as well.

It's now 1.45pm, and we get a break from visitors until the electrician arrives at 4 pm.  Thank goodness.  

My head is pounding.  Too much going on, and super tired.  I've been sleeping quite well, but waking far too early.  Then the brain kicks in with all the jobs ahead, and I end up just lying there, not sleeping.  Fairly normal for this situation though.

Stew connected up the washing machine, so I could do a load of washing.

Murphy's Law... the connection to this home's water pipes leaked.  Steve came over and did a temporary fix.  It will all be replaced once the new laundry tub gets put in.

Stew is now at the pub, he walked there.  I am going to visit the kids shortly, then join Stew at the pub for hot chips.  

I had a relaxing visit with the kids before going down to the pub to meet up with Stew. 

And...  the washing is done and I've thrown it in the dryer.  I'll have something to wear tomorrow now.

I hope in the next week or two we will find the boxes with my winter clothes, that would be nice.

And that's it, the day is done.  Catch ya tomorrow.
