They did it !

I woke at 4.30am this morning and the birds were chirping.
Slab was getting poured today so i was happy.
I went for my walk, it was overcast but didn't look like it was going to rain for awhile.
Trying not to think about it but looking at the clock every hour.
I knew the concrete truck was arriving at 8am and the concreters were going to be finished by lunch.
We went up to the block at 10am and as we drove out the drive way, down came the rain.

This is what i saw when we arrived


The truck was packing up.


They managed to get the cover on the garage concrete as it is being polished.
I was still confident as the concreter said it will be ok as the concrete was all done but he would have to be here till dark to make sure it went off.

We went back home and i made some Rum Chocolate Balls as i felt bad that they were going to have to stay so late and should've been finished by lunch.

I  placed one each for the guys on the dash of the concreters truck along with a dozen of Corona's.
 The rain stopped and the sun was out. Our lawn mower man came and went and things were looking up. At 3pm we went back up and it was tools down as the slab had successfully been completed.


Although the rain was on it's way back..

Job well done by the boys...

and it looks like that NYE SLAB PARTY is going to go ahead!!!!!

Time for the guys to pack up, start to enjoy the xmas break..drink a few beers and eat the chocolate balls on the drive back to Brissie.   



Now "It,s beginning to look a lot like Christmas" (in my singing voice)
I am hitting the shops tonight for the midnight trade. As tomorrow i don't want to go near a shop and i still have a few more things to get.
I will go up as late as possible as i am hoping everyone will be gone and i will have Robina Town Centre to myself. #inmydreams

Time to go put the Christmas CD on,

Cheers,
