Hi girls
Just wanted tom pop on and wish you all a wonderful Xmas... It's been so lovely reading how excited you and the kiddies are....
I wAs also refLecTing today how long we have all been friends and how much y.ou all mean to me... Love xxx
We went down to the beach today. It was heaps of fun, but not fun coming home to an empty house. I miss my dog. William is still thinking about it a lot and the poor cat looks so sad. The dog raised her from when we found her as a 3-4 week old kitten. Before I took Chim to the vets the cat was licking her face and sat next to her while she slept
In other news, I have corrected the lack of any Christmas presents for me by buying a heap of linen for our bed. I got 2 duvet covers, a wool underlay and a valance cover for $250 from an online shop which is less than half of what the shops charge. And Ezibuy have Superking size - the King size bed we bought in Australia is a Superking in NZ and it is hard to find any linen for it. It should look good in my newly painted bedroom.
Arte. So sad. Congrats on your new bed linen. I'm trying to avert my eyes when it comes to the sales this year, have no $$ to spend but might try to wangle a layby on a new large frying pan as the one we've got is hopeless & Harries has them for half price. Silly to buy them any other time of the year. The linen will give your bedroom a real lift. I've got one set I like and the other set I bought halfway thru chemo when the old one ripped irreparably in the wash & I didn't have the oomph to go looking for a nice one so I bought the first one I found and now I hate it (probably from looking at it when I felt crummy LOL). Hey maybe I should layby one of those too.
Ginger yay for toy cull! We weren't big on volume at all this year, but I've still got to figure out how to fit the dolls house into E's bedroom. We did a huge cull about a month ago. BUT DD1's bedroom is getting out of hand so there will be tears and tantrums one day soon (probably from me haha) when I get stuck into that. Luckily she's starting to get the idea that if she doesn't look after her stuff I will treat it like rubbish too and it will go in the bin LOL.
Had a gorgeous day doing N-o-t-h-i-n-g today...soooo tired after all the extra activity this week. Had a bunch of friends around yesterday which was absolutely lovely because I actually had the energy I needed to do everything ... first time in 2 years, not bad, huh? Paying for it today though.
MD, we have that problem with the girls room. I took all the Little People stuff out and it made a small difference. Things that they are starting to grow out of I put away until I'm sure they don't need it and then give it away.
Arte, I went to Myer yesterday and got myself, DH and A a new pillow each, two pillow protectors and a doona for A's bed when it comes all for $230! It was all half price. I'm waiting to get new linen though because I need to sort through what we have and see what is worn out. I love Ezibuy sheets though, I have them for the kids beds and they a pretty good quality.
MD, I can't believe it has been two years since the initial gall stones. A is the same age now as E would have been then. I don't think I appreciated at the time how hard that must have been doing it all with a toddler. Glad you are starting to get your energy back.
The bedroom painted a bit darker than I planned so I needed to trade in the grey/black cover for some nice light/white ones.
Trill, you should have a look at the Ezibuy website now - they have a big sale on until New Years.
Went down to Wanganui again today because it was pouring with rain and the kids were getting bored. W has been going on two one-hour bike rides every day since he got his bike. Yesterday I went outside and he had got himself a wipe and was out there cleaning the dirt off it lol
Ps- speaking about linen lol, dad has decked out a room at his house with two single beds for the boys and has bought the most gorgeous linen today from adairs. I love it! Called Sammy surfer, it's divine if anyone is looking for boys linen
On our way to the beach now and I'm talking to you all on my new iPhone that dh got me for Xmas! Gotta love it. I feel so spoilt, especially as I got him nothing!
Hope you're all keeping cool today. It's super hot here already
can you believe that i actually feel a little cold??!!! WTF?!! seriously i was under a blanket a few minutes ago. i wonder if i am coming down with something? i also felt a bit dizzy this morning...gosh i hope not.
have a great time at the beach! that was my plan for today, but unfortunately DH had other plans lol! so invited the neighbours for a lasagne master-class. AFM, well, i guess i will get me some beers and sit in the shell pool and get leila to coo like a sea-gull and steal my hot chips hahahaha!
hahaha! yeah pretty steamy now lol! was hanging outside while Leila and her mates splashed about in the shell pool, and then i got bitten by a bee! grrrr! and poor bee...
