A PUBLIC HOLIDAY TODAY

 

I reckon every single shop in this country is having a freakin' sale today.

It's Kings Birthday today, not that I consider that prick MY King.  Whoops, shoot me now, I disparaged Charlie the cheater.  

I was a staunch supporter of Princess Diana, and just cannot stand Camilla, or Charles.

I don't often express my feelings/opinions on such matters, but having a public holiday to celebrate HIM does my head in.

Anyway.... that being said, it is a holiday so Stew is home.

We are planning a quiet day, after doing quite a bit yesterday.

I'm thinking of buying a cheap little vacuum cleaner, so we can suck the air out of vacuum bags if/when we need to open the ones we used yesterday.  Also, having a conventional vacuum will come in handy for cleaning out the car etc.

Our stick vacuum refused to work with the vacuum bags, and it's a right shit to use in the car, even taking the stick off bla bla bla.

And I now have room in the linen cupboard for a small conventional vacuum cleaner.  WIN WIN.

So yeah, we might just go out to Briscoes later on, seeing as they are having a SALE (of course they are).  Vacuums are between 40 and 60 % off today.

Later on today I shall possibly attend Craft Group, and do some work on my next runner.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  I bought 4 more flowers yesterday, and raided a really big bunch I already had in the lounge, and boom.  My gorgeous new blue pot has flowers in it, in our bedroom. I'll have to 'tweak' the bunch a bit to make it look a bit tidier, but still, lovely.

Stew's in the shower and I'm waiting for him to be ready to go out.  

My gosh it's a dreary looking day out there today.  Totally overcast, threatening to rain.  Just ikkk.  

ABOVE:  Taa Daaa!  A lovely new vacuum. Chosen after doing quite a bit of research, reading reviews etc online.  It was 60% off, so a real bargain.  Ours is a blue one, not white like on the box.  I tried it out on our diabolical carpet, and OMG!  It picked up every single little bit with ONE swipe over!  I used the Turbo Head, it was amazing.  While I really don't like this style of vacuum, I will be using it when I vacuum the entire house from now on.

And Lacy needn't bring hers over again. 

It is now 11.10 am, and I suppose I should get my stuff ready and go down to Craft Group.
