SUNDAY... NEXT LIST!

 

We had seven things on our 'to do' list yesterday.

Happy to say five got done... the biggest being the garden shed.  I'm just so happy it's done and looks so good.  The two jobs not done yet from yesterday's list are the SKY connections sorted, which is happening on Wednesday.  The other was starting to empty the storage unit, which will have to wait a bit longer.

We want to get what's already here sorted out first, before bringing anything else back to the house.

ABOVE:  Looking from the lounge into the dining 'area'... boxes and boxes.  And there's a new dining suite in there too.  In a box.  lol

That ugly gas heater on the wall, the tall cream and brown thing, will be removed, and that wall will be where the TV goes.

Luckily there is already a heat pump installed.

ABOVE: All the big garden pots, waiting to be put in place.  We have HEAPS more smaller ones in the trailer and at Steve 'n' Bex's... which will slowly come back here over the next week or so.

ABOVE: Today we are ordering our new lounge suite... so in about 5 months this lounge will look totally different.  

Right now it's a disaster zone.

ABOVE: Our bedroom is probably the only room almost sorted out.  The light on the wall is getting removed, and the light above the bed will be replaced with something more modern.

Today I will be getting the new curtains hung, once I've shortened them.

Another thing on today's list, get a smaller laundry tub, so the washing machine and dryer will fit in the laundry.  I don't know how many times we've had to do that, at least 3 times.

SO.... Things to do today:

- Buy a smaller laundry tub.  DONE

- Order new lounge suite.  DONE

- Order dining room cabinet.  DONE

- Grocery shopping.  DONE

- Unload our trailer, and put it in the storage facility.  DONE

- Shorten new curtains and hang them up.  

If we get all that done we will be doing well!

I will also work on the garage some more, that's a work in progress.  I will probably unpack more boxes as well.  DONE

We are going to be BUSY again. 😊

11.05 am, and we have been slogging it out since 7.30.

We concentrated our morning's efforts on getting our trailer unloaded.  It had garden pots, shed equipment and a big garden seat on it.

ABOVE:  Our GORGEOUS new garden shed, getting it's name put on.

ABOVE: This back patio is what sold the house to me.  It gets afternoon sun, until sunset.  I've yet to see the sunset!  Been too busy inside.

ABOVE: The backyard, small but cute.  

We are now going to have a shower, get tidied up, and go shopping.  

1 pm. Our trailer is now at the storage facility. 

We have ordered our new lounge suite, it will take 3-4months to arrive.

We are now stopping for lunch  before heading out again.

ABOVE: Stew making sure we still love the lounge suite we have our eyes on.  YEP, we are. 

  

ABOVE:  Behind me is the Dining Display Cabinet we just ordered.  

We also bought the small laundry tub.  Then called it a day re: shopping.

ABOVE:  Thanks to our dear friend KJ, we have some gorgeous new Azaleas for our gardens.  Thank You so much Karen!

Azaleas are one of my favourite plants.

It's now 3.45 pm, and my batteries are totally run down.  I am just so damn tired.  I can't do anything else today.

Stew has gone to get a few groceries.

The curtains will have to wait... AGAIN. 😖😔

There were two boxes left to unpack, so I opened them. Just linen, it can wait.

But WAIT! If those were the last boxes that came over on Friday, we were missing one box.

I knew the net curtains for the lounge were in THAT MISSING BOX, and I'd certainly not unpacked them.

Dang, might be missing a box?

I went on the hunt, and finally saw THE BOX, it was on top of the freezer and I had missed seeing it numerous times. 

I couldn't get it down cos it was too heavy, so I got the ladder and climbed up and opened that damn box.  YES!

There were the net curtains.

Now I have them... I might hang them later on tonight, if I get some energy back.

Nope.  Not doing another thing, I'm just DONE for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
