Outside update

Last week brought a front fence and a front balcony. YAY!

and a drive way

Which then made us have to actually unpack boxes so we could get the cars in the garage and off the road. As we have found that new empty housing estates make great weekend racing areas.
The cars come up and check out the gorgeous views and then decide to race side by side each other along the street.
It hasn't happened to often as the estate has a security driver that is always around but it does happen.
We have had a few trees knocked over in the street before we moved in from crazy drivers.

The boys were a great help. NOT

We made room for one car. So that is a start.
I have heaps of things to sell. So until i do that the garage will be used as storage.
I sold the lounge James is sitting on in 2 hrs on Online Garage Sales Gold Coast for $200. It was a 2 seater and a 3 seater. BARGIN as it was in excellent condition. I also sold a washing machine for $150 and a bar fridge for $70.
Plenty more to go...

I have discovered the Panorama options on the iPhone. Going a little over board with it but i think it is really cool.

Still waiting on that mirror splash back.

Oh and i had a birthday.

I got a new kettle & toaster. My mum was surprised with that, as she said that isnt a birthday present she would like to receive. But that's what i wanted when asked.

I went out for lunch with my friend Megan and came home to a yummy caramel mud cake.
That is all i need on a birthday.

A rare family shot.

Kids have been enjoying the outdoor building site and i found them on the trampoline the other day. I had to close my eyes.
As i friend said "20 years ago we wouldn't worry about this but these days we freak out"

I watched my youngest one and his mate play out the front with the good old game that i used to play with the hose. They were using a plumbing pipe. Remember we used to spin around with it while the other had to jump over it. Great game...

While i then thought they were just out the front laughing and having fun. I found them having fighting games with texters and marking each other with texter including their clothes.
Later that evening i went across the road to take the dog for a wee and saw that they had drawn all over the concrete footpath with texter.

Here he is scrubbing it all off.

This week brings the pool guys back to start the completion of the pool. The snooker room brick work and slab. The footpaths and side fences.

Still no sign of the painter. We had the plaster guys come back yesterday to patch up all the holes and mistakes.
Apparently plasterers hate painters and painters hate plasterers.
They blame each other. Frankly i don't give a dam. Just finish the job and get the hell out!

I have my eye on a buffet that i need to twist my husbands arm a bit more to get the deal across the line.

Kids are just in from the bus so gotta go.
