Just realised that amongst other things to do, I have two birthdays to celebrate this week. March 6th for DS1 and March 7 - now whose birthday was that again? Minds going, going, going, gone.
Okay - well I had better get this post out of the way for the day. It would seem it will be a busy one. The DS2 has gone camping for the weekend so I have the house to myself - yeehaa. Now what did I do yesterday.
Okay, okay, I went back to the kitchen place, made a couple of alterations to the plan, almost decided on going with a slightly less expensive benchtop. The Corian is beautiful, but it means the kitchen will be out of commission for 2 weeks rather than two days and is around double the price of the 3x scratch resistant laminate which is more expensive than ordinary laminate anyway - told you I can't do anything on the cheap. That drops the price back under the 20K mark which was the top end of my budget anyway.
Mel - great news on the losses. You have been working hard and proving all the medico's wrong about the amount of weight you can lose. Now we have to get that skin done and dusted. Maybe the fresh air in Maui will work for you. Haven't yet sorted out and Igor for you yet over here.
Happy - glad the boss liked the cake. It sounds nice too. As a kid, we used to go blackberry picking on the banks of the river, that was before the local government declared it a noxious weed and sprayed it stone dead. I loved those blackberries. We would come home with a bowl full of the juicy monsters and black juice staining our faces, fingers, clothes and anything else we could get it on. Yummy. Those flourless, glutenless and good for you cakes tend not to rise so much and certainly don't last as long. That's why I asked. I guess they would freeze okay though.
How did the dessert go in the bake off?? Oh hang on, it hasn't happened yet - read the directions Shad.
Rennie = Mother Nature has never listened to anyone and certainly will not start doing so now. Stop beating your head on a brick wall and just get on with working with or working around her.
Ceejay - Like Mel said, it's good to hear that you and the car are good for another 50,000. Happy motoring. Those Toyotas are bomb-proof I reckon.
Ellen - Chucky cheese??!!!!
We don't have them over here, however even the name conjures up calories.
Annie - have fun at the concert, dance like there is no one watching. Don't you just love the finish on some of those desks?
So it's on with the day. Gym - Body Balance class at 9.30. Then finish off the bits of the bathroom I didn't do yesterday. I spent so much time chucking out of date, rusty, unused, useless stuff that the bath didn't get cleaned - the rest sparkles. Sometimes you just gotts do these things and find out what you have in those drawers and doors. I don't think I will need to buy soap for the next 5 years, it's gone hard too and that means it will last longer. If I send you a present for Christmas or Birthday - guess what it might be???
Then I will tackle the main bedroom, clear out the wardrobe of my unused, unworn, non-fitting duds (or fashion mistakes) and take them to the Op Shop. Some one else may get some benefit out of them. I feel the need to shift the computer as well and there is yet another box of books to be sorted, packed up or thrown to the book exchange. And I guess that is about it. Time to move it along. See you for cocktails later.
