PLUMBER BACK TODAY - FRIDAY


I'm starting the day with a thumping headache.  Not much fun... best to get some pain killers on board.  

ABOVE:  HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR DARLING KEERA.  Another teenager to contend with.
Have an awesome day darling, we will see you soon.

Today the plumber is coming back to fit all the tapware, plumb in the vanity and shower and so on.  Once that is done, we can actually USE the bathroom tomorrow.  
OMG that is going to be soooooo good.  I am totally over not having a bathroom IN MY HOUSE.
Of course, we have been incredibly lucky to have the pool facilities so close to us.

ABOVE: The view from my lounge chair today.  I'm sorting through all the plastic ware, deciding what to keep, and what to give away.  So far I've only got a couple of containers to give away.
Cos, I LOVE my Tupperware.
Over to the left is another big plastic box full of kitchen gadgets, salad spinner, baking dishes etc.  I will try and be more ruthless with that lot.
 
Tonight I am going to Cambridge for a get together with a few friends.  I am really looking forward to it.  It's been AGES since we had a get together. I think it will be good for me to just get away from everything here for a few hours.

Right, let's start the day shall we?


12.10 pm.
The plumber has just finished fitting all the bits 'n' bobs.  
I have done this so far today:

ABOVE:  I have three large and one medium Scrappy Dolls on the go.
I am now taking a break and going out and about.
I want to get new handles for the bathroom vanity, so they tie in with the other black fittings.  I'm also going to try and find a rack thingee to hold all the shampoos etc, one that hangs over the glass wall of the shower.
The plumber suggested it, because he said we shouldn't drill anything into the shower liner.
Good call.

I went out in the pouring rain, looking for new vanity handles.  NO LUCK yet.
There was also only one choice for a shower caddy that fits over the glass wall, so I'll keep looking for that too.
Now, how about I show you (yet again), our shower?  lol

ABOVE:  With it's mixer and shower head on.  We can't use it until Sunday, to be sure the sealants are all set.

ABOVE: The Vanity and little mirrored cupboard above it.  Once we have black handles it will tie in better.
But for now, it's still lovely.

ABOVE: The open shelf below the mirrored cabinet is just for 'pretties'.  I don't want it cluttered up with toiletries.  We have plenty of room for them in the cupboard and vanity.
Now.. it's 1.40 pm, time for some lunch.
Then I'll put all the bathroom stuff in the vanity.

9.50 pm. Sorry I worried some people!  I simply forgot to update, all is good.  Nothing going on here except odd jobs.  Then I went over to Cambridge to enjoy a couple of hours with friends.
The drive over was a bit hairy due to the torrential rain.  I hit a deep patch of water on Wairere Drive on my way out of town, so stopped and got Stew to report it.  On my way home again, and I was happy to see the roading people had put out cones to stop anyone else from driving into it.
I am now (obviously), safely home again and really looking forward to bedtime.  I'm just a bit tired.
Catch ya tomorrow.

  9. We use Briscoes shelves that you vacuum pump onto the shower walls. They come in black, that is what Sio has in her bathroom. Also the toilet roll holders.

    I use a floor to ceiling shower caddy. It has 4 trays to hold shampoos, conditioners, soaps, etc and is on a thick tension rod. It sits in the corner of my shower stall and doesn't take up a lot of room. Ky Girl
