THIS ISN'T IDEAL

 

Whelp, my plans for today are to make a couple more scrappy dolls.  Different colour bibs today.

The flooring company are coming back to finally lay the flooring.  Goodness knows when they will actually turn up.

The reno guy is also coming today to do the final little things, then he can sign off this job.  

I picked up me distance/driving glasses yesterday, about to go out in the car. And bugger me!

ABOVE: They just up and broke clean in half! No reason, no crack, just fell apart!  I was a bit surprised.  So, once things are done here, I'll pop out to see how long it will take to get some more.  I sure in hell can't wear them like that.  Looks a bit... precarious.

There is a hair salon here in the village.  The hair dresser comes in three times a week.  I'm going to wander down and ask her what she would charge to colour me hair.  Last time I got a quote from a  hair salon it was $310.  Ain't NO WAY IN HELL I would ever pay that much. So, let's wait and see what she quotes.  

The flooring guy arrived nice and early, and he's just left.  It's now 11.30 am.  I've been working in the garage, and have got two more scrappy dolls on the go.  I expect to finish them after lunch.

ABOVE: Before and After.  All that we are waiting for now is the cabinet to go in the left hand corner, and it will be 100% done.  The Reno guy will be here sometime today to put the door back on and the little metal strip to hold down the carpet edge, then BOOM!  DONE DONE DONE.

ABOVE:  I still have not found replacement handles for the vanity, but I will eventually.  I am so happy with our new bathroom.  Well worth the effort and wait.

I'm now taking a break, and will make myself something for lunch.  

I have not had a chance to get down to the hair salon yet, it might not even happen today. I'm just too busy.

Plotting my next move.  Or should I say, purchase?

We are going to Auckland again on Sunday, to try and find THE rug for the lounge.  This time we are going with very precise measurements.  That should help.

Right now I'm measuring out and marking where the new lounge suite will go/fit.  

From there, I can work out what size rug to get.

J the guy from the renovation company is due here in half an hour, to do the final finishing touches to the bathroom.  

I've also not had a chance to ring Spec Savers to sort out me glasses either. *sigh*

ABOVE:  And it is now 2 pm, the reno guy hasn't been yet.  I just finished these extra two Scrappy Dolls.

I wish now I'd given one the 'pissed as a chook' mouth!  Next time I'm making them, I will do one like that.

I'm now taking a break, before getting everything ready for market tomorrow.

Making sure it's all at the front of the garage, to be put in the car.

Village life is... challenging.  The Manager just visited us AGAIN.  Seems Stew has been parking in the  'VISITOR PARKING' area.  Which is a no no.  Some neighbours have fucking complained.

WTF is wrong with them?  Like, there's virtually no visitors around here.  But, the Manager has given us a park to use (call it ours he said) down by the bowling green.  So, we are sorted.  It just means one or other of us has a bit of a walk home when we park down there.  At least we do have an additional park.

Now, I'm going to get the  market stuff sorted out.

The bathroom is totally finished.  I gave the reno guy a round table topper for his round dining room table, he was very happy.

ABOVE: Coco waiting for Stew. HOW THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW it's 'that time'?  Stew walked in the door a few minutes later. Remember, she can't hear his car arriving either.  Weird.

Time to pack the car for tomorrow.

Then I can relax for the evening. 

It's bloody freezing.

I am going to freeze at market tomorrow.

Catch ya tomorrow.
