BATHROOM FLOORING IN TODAY

 

It was going to be flooring day in the bathroom today.

But now it's not.

Cos the courier company have LOST our flooring.

'J', the bathroom reno guy was like "Chris, you are not going to be happy with me" when he told me.

I was like, nah mate, it ain't your fault.  And it will get done eventually, not a problem.  I'm sure he was very relieved I didn't pack a wobbly! What would the point be in that?  It is what it is.  And the new flooring will arrive next Tuesday, so what's a few days?

We can still use our shower by the weekend.  I'll just chuck some shower mats on the floor.

ABOVE: The gardeners working on our new privacy hedge yesterday.

ABOVE: It took them about three hours to take the grass up, dig holes, plant the trees and add a wooden edge.  It looks fabulous.  I am going to plant succulents under them at some point.  I have permission, as technically it's not our property that side of the fence.

The management here have treated us so very well over the 'issue' with the shed and so on.  I couldn't be happier how it has turned out.  Sure, we lost our shed, but what we have now works just as well.   And we are NOT out of pocket at all.

I am not sure if anything will be happening in the bathroom today.  J said the flooring company might come and prep the floor.  Time will tell.

I am going to Mitre 10 this morning to order a cabinet for the bathroom, to keep all the surplus plastic ware in.  It won't be affected by any moisture.  We have two extractor fans in the bathroom, so it really won't be a problem. 

Once I get home I MIGHT make a start on a couple of  Scrappy dolls.

10.15 am, and I got to Mitre 10 and decided maybe I should check the freakin' cupboard would fit through our internal doors, before ordering one.

Talked to Steve, and yep, it will.  So now I have to go back and order it.

ABOVE:  I also went to Spotlight for the links for the kitchen blind's chain.  It is far too long, and we didn't have a joining link.  Now we have 10.  While there I thought I'd also get more calico for Scrappy Doll's faces.

ABOVE:  They were having a sale on fabric.  So, ummm... how could I not?

And now, I'm off to Mitre 10 again... catch ya later.

4.07 pm:  I have ordered our bathroom cupboard, it will take 1-2 weeks to arrive.  

It will be neat to get the LAST BOXES unpacked and stuff away.

I ran out of energy after lunch, just feel wrung out.  Life has been too busy for too long.

I woke at 4 am this morning... didn't get back to sleep.  You can't switch off ya brain when it's going around and around in circles.

I really, really wanted to do some sewing this afternoon, but all I do is sit and stare out the window!  At least its not too cold today.

I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the pub with Stew tonight or not.

That would mean putting some freakin' face on.  Do I even have the energy?

5.45 pm:  Stew is at the pub, he walked up.  I will join him at around 7 pm. Then we will both walk home again.

ABOVE:  These four... buddies from childhood.  Such a nice couple of hours tonight at the pub.  I had my two glasses of wine, and am now slightly pissed.  Who cares?  I needed to wind down.

We (I) have wobbled home.  And now we will enjoy a couple of hours in front of the telly before bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
