I think Dames has come through the worst of his flu.
He seems a bit more chipper tonight!!! Thank goodness, I was ready to move out!!!!
So Tex’s birthday was fantastic. Brea had hired this play gym thing that fit perfectly into her lounge room. There were about 20 kids there ranging from new born to about 4 and they all had the loveliest time. So did I with all those babies!!!!!
Tex ran and ran and RAN!!! Was so excited. Had no idea of course. He was spoilt rotten and didn’t even cry when everyone sang Happy Birthday. He just looked around at everyone like we were mad. We have 3 weeks on Monday until the new little girl arrives and I cant wait!!!
Since mum died I have been in de clutter mode. Its been a slow process but I’m getting there. My bedroom is done (except for all the ‘stuff’ in the wardrobe) A few new pieces of furniture from Kmart (cheap and lovely) and the room looks terrific.
I am now working on the lounge. I moved the computer and desk and sold a buffet and bookcase online. Not for a lot but I was happy that someone took them away for me!!
I have purchased a new (used) lounge suite that we are picking up tomorrow. Mine is 14 years old and has seen better days. This one has a chaise lounge and is a lovely cream colour. It was only $100. The ones ive looked at on line, second hand have been between $300-$600 so I scored a bargain. I cant wait to get it. Ive also been online (kmart again) and written a list of new furniture for my lounge. A little cube unit for Texs toys, a ladder shelf thing for my printer and nick nacks, some new bright cushions, a lovely throw, and I think the lounge will look brand new. I can get away with it for about another $100 and my lounge will be done!! woohoo!!!
I’m excited. I need some change and I figure this will feel like a new room for very little money. The only thing that will cost a bit more will be a TV unit but ive got one and I’m prepared to wait. It just wont match lol. Not that anything really does. This will be the first time anything matches and its very minimal.
I bought 2 tickets to the preview session of Mamma Mia 2 next month for Jode and I. That girl seriously needs a night out and I think a good old fashioned movie night is just the ticket. Maybe a drink after? We both have the day off so we can do what we want. I even organised her boys to be looked after so she didn’t have to worry about it.
We have the footy canteen Saturday. Its a crazy day. We start at 6am and finish at 6pm. Its all for the greater good though, hopefully we can do it for the next 2 years and our trip will be paid for. We are exhausted but it is so worth it.
So that’s about me! I would really love to make a group soon!!! Missed Laura by 15 mins last night! Got home from work too late for tonights group. I do have tomorrow off (never get a Friday off) so maybe tomorrow night? Ill try.
Take care friends,
Love K xxx
