G'day all,
A very productive day, all the washing done, ironed and back in the cupboard
I also did all the grouting on my hands and knees
, the floor looks like it did when we bought the place. You are all probably right, the steam machine is too good to be true. If I knew I was home permanently I would consider it because there is a 30 day money guarantee but I expect it to be a hassle if it did not live up to expectation so I need to be sure that I am home to send it back etc. etc.
Trudy sorry to hear you have been under so much stress lately, I hope things will look up soon. Your dd baby will definetly be something to look forward to. Sounds like you are all ready for winter with your major house cleaning job.
Don't mean to be rude but I thought Burl Ives would have to have been dead by now, how old is he???? I can only ever remember him as 'old' and that was years ago!
Glenda funny thing that about my super duper sewing machine
, I am still determined to get it but prefer (I think
)to wait till we are home for good. When I tell dh that he got his 'dream machine' but the very thing I was working for, I still have't got, he does feel a bit guilty and has told me to go out and buy it but he knows full well I wouldn't do that
Last night we saw ds' ex girlfriend, she teaches in a school not far from our place. We had quite a long chat and she was very tearful which made me tearful as well,
She said she had been wanting to call in but found it just too hard to make that step. The ice has now been broken and we will go out to lunch, just her and me. We are quite excited about our son's wedding but that somebody had to be so badly hurt is casting a little bit of a shadow on it. Tomorrow 7 weeks to the big day
Well that is all for now, it is going to be a very hot day tomorrow, I might just sit around and read an Anne Rule book that I found at the library.
Cheers
Maria
Hi everyone
.. things are looking up. Last week we had the heating ducts cleaned out and yesterday the carpet cleaner did his job. He also cleaned the sofa. Next I will be looking for someone to re-stuff the sofa cushions and I want my Lazyboy rockers re-upholstered. Hope to get these things done before Christmas. 
I don't know why they have to start so early. 
every day. Last Sat. I met her at the mall and we spent a couple of hours in the baby dept.. buying the travel system and little newborn things. You are right Glenda there is so much out there for babies. We had a great day. She is looking and feeling great. 
in my life lately.. lots going on. I deal with every crisis in my life with a chocolate bar in my hand.
Now this is not a good thing because chocolate really aggrivates my digestion. Alas... I have been feeling rotten these last few days as a result. Not sleeping well either. So Lily & Karen I am taking your advice and journaling as of today. I have gained again and I am not happy. Someone else mentioned the "urge to eat the world" sometimes. Why is that? 
My hubby is going through the same things, he lost weight... Arrrggg
As soon as Halloween is over they start with the Christmas decorations and advertising... I really hate the way Christmas is commercialized.
