STILL WORKING ON THE LIST

 

We have a much smaller list today.  We might even get it all done!

If so, that means we are done with 'settling in' here!

We have been here for 9 weeks and two days!  It doesn't feel like that long, for sure I thought it was about 6 weeks.

I am going to bite the bullet and get the one job I've been putting off DONE.  Shorten and hang the last set of curtains.  I friggin HATE sewing curtains, and hanging them sucks.  I am sure that's partly why my arms were SO SORE for weeks after our move.

They are finally feeling 100% again, thank goodness.

Steve is coming over today to put the filters in the kitchen extractor fan.  Might get him to have a go at putting a big shelf up in the front bedroom for the TV as well.  He's more likely to find the right place to fix it than Stew.  😊😉

Catch ya later.

I put the drawers on Marketplace, had some interest already.  Then I listed the new clothes airer as well... as it's just too big for anywhere in the house, except slap, bang in the middle of the lounge.

Not a good look.  Well. That sold to a friend of mine in like a few minutes!  BOOM, success.

ABOVE:  We had a yak with our immediate neighbours over the fence, and they were all for us mounting the weather vane on our mutual fence!  So up she went.  Fingers crossed no one complains.

I've now got a pot with no plant in it... so will go out a bit later to find a plant for it. 

Oh yeah, we also have three bags of cement.... with nowhere to go.  Oh well, they may come in handy some day.  

 I am now about to work on those bloody curtains.  Hopefully no one can hear me swear.

Seems lately I live to regret some decisions.  I gave away our stick vacuum to Brylee.

Then I bought a rotating vacuum head for our Hoover vacuum.  It cost A LOT.

It is useless, but as it's now used, I can't take it back.

Today, while out and about, we bought.... ANOTHER STICK VACUUM.  A Samsung, whizz bang thing.  

It's  arriving in about two weeks.

AND get this... it can tell me when my phone gets a call or text.  So now I will have a Samsung phone, oven, cooktop and vacuum.  What next I wonder?

Steve, Bex and the kids arrived for a visit this afternoon, which was lovely.  They have not been over for a visit in quite a while for one reason or another.

I'll post photos tomorrow.

Steve put the filters in the extractor fan, but it's still not working properly.  It needs to reticulate, but isn't.  *sigh*

I was tempted to crack open the bottle of bubbly this afternoon, but as our new lounge suite hasn't arrived yet, I've decided to wait for it.

THEN this home will be as we want it to be, going forward.

Happy to say Stew hung the curtains for me, so my temper did not get the better of me.  That front bedroom is almost finished!  We are going to get a smaller TV that can be mounted on the wall with a bracket.  I shall get that tomorrow all going well.

Time to sign off for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
