Sponsored by Nuffnang How can I say no a sponsored post when it’s about the petrol I use in my car. And how can I say no when it’s a chance to tell you how much I love my new car. It’s been over 6 months since I’ve been driving my VW Multivan and I’m […]

October 24, 2011 By 19 Comments
Well day 1 is over and welcome to my war zone. I really didn’t know what to expect when I opened the door to see what they’d been up to after they’d left. I’d hear bricks fall, tiles smash, things drop, people coming and going, the water was turned off for most of the day […]

This morning was the start of the new me – the me that gets up at 6am, showers and moves the car out of the driveway at 7am. Let’s see how long this lasts! But I’m battling a serious case of butterflies as the reality sinks in. I felt sick to the stomach this […]

Well with the builder and his crew arriving next Monday at 7.30am to start pulling down walls – I have to wind up quilts for Queensland. And quickly. I thought it would be fun to empty the boxes and see them all piled up……impressive! Piled 3 deep and as high as I could pile them. […]

They are here. At last. Red Saltwater sandals. I love them. I needed some detective skills to track down a pair in red and found some in Chico, California here and paid a bit more postage than I normally would. But I’m worth it. Red for adults is a really, really hard to find colour […]
