Our tenth day waking up in our new home.
It has been ten hectic, busy days.
And the busyness won't be over for quite a while yet.
Today is a public holiday. Kings Birthday.
Stew goes back to work tomorrow. I'm going to miss having him home with me, helping with all the jobs.
Today's list is:
Get the man shed organised. Stew objected to me calling it the 'man shed', so we'll go back to saying 'The Wood Shed'. 😂 DONE
Get wood for the attic. NOPE, will have to be next weekend now.
Get a new toilet seat. The current one is too small for the actual toilet, it looks dumb as. DONE.
I'm hoping Stew can instal the shelf in the kitchen, to put the microwave on. It will free up some bench space.
We will be taking a break at lunchtime... Steve and Bex have invited us to lunch. That will be neat.
ABOVE: I'm happy to say I did get the lounge curtains shortened and hung late yesterday afternoon. They nearly broke me though, they were so heavy to handle and sew/hang. I 'only' have the spare bedroom and dining room curtains to replace now. Maybe I will do them today. If my upper arms can handle it! They are so sore.
10.45 am: I went over to Mitre 10 for the new loo seat. On my way home, as I was near the storage unit, I swung by and filled up me car.
ABOVE: A few more boxes to unload.
ABOVE: I also got the pretty flowers. They are behind the chair for now, I might move them at a later date, depends how cluttered it starts to look in here. I'm going out the back to see how Stew's doing with the Wood Shed...
ABOVE: Lunch with the kids was really yum, ham, chicken, cheese, coleslaw, egg salad etc on buns.After lunch we came home and I crashed out and slept for an hour and a half.
Stew watched sport on silent so he didn't wake me up.
ABOVE: Then the kids came around here so Steve could put our microwave up.... in a different position to what we had thought, but such a better position.It's not finished yet, so I can't show ya right now.
ABOVE: This ginga ninja is on the go constantly!
ABOVE: There she is climbing the ladder, being a pain in the bum! She's having a ball.
ABOVE: I finally caught a sunset! Not the best one... but there will be more! lol 7.41 pm: The kids have gone home, the microwave is in it's new place. Thanks Steve.
We've had a light snack for 'dinner'.
Now, chilling out till bedtime.
Catch ya tomorrow.
That made a huge difference already and once the new lounge suite is in perfect, shame Stew can’t take a few more days off.
ReplyDeleteIf Stew's back and knee are no better, then perhaps he could take the rest of the week off. Audrey
Delete*snort* He IS taking the rest of the week 'off'. He's going back to work, which is much less tiring physically. If he stayed home, he would be doing physical jobs all week. With me holding the whip. lol

DeleteYes, the color of the lounge curtains make a huge difference. Ky Girl
ReplyDeletePoor Stew...lol..the curtains look good...lightens up the room and goes well with the carpet...what colour are the walls?...I bet you will be painting those as well...lol....take care Peta
ReplyDeleteThe walls are predominantly a sandy colour. Yes, I will be painting them over time, but not right now. Far too much to do yet.
DeleteIt's fun to see the bright chair.Is it comfy to sit in?
ReplyDeleteYes it is very comfy. I love it.
DeleteThe "ginga ninga" has grown. I'm sure she needed to help her dad up that ladder.
ReplyDeleteThe room looks great, so much better with the new curtains
ReplyDeleteYes I can confirm above chair is VERY COMFY any chair that accommodates my wide backside is a great chair.
ReplyDeleteGinja Ninja. How cute. The new home really fills up with more people in it!
ReplyDeleteLovely family photos. Lovely to see the ginja ninja again and I always love that chair. More boxes. Does the storage place look any emptier lol
ReplyDeleteGinja Ninja in your comfy chair is so cute. In that picture she looks just like Bex.
ReplyDeleteSteve's new apprentice seems keen to work with her Dad 😃
