Another OFI

18 people today - a good turnout.

Not enough land/too small = 6ppl
Returns with great interest = 4ppl
Local stickynosers: 1 ppl
"Just started looking" : 2ppl

The rest are misc. things like 'no comment'. Probably too blown away in awe to speak.
Yes, i'm sure that's it.

C. and I went up the street and put some photos in for developing, then went and grabbed a choccy milkshake and a toasted sandwich to share in a cafe ( yum ! ), then went and watched a train come in, back to pic up photos and home ! I wish i'd hid around the corner and watched now - if they all came at once it would have been cramped !

Been a bit slack on the piccy front too - blog's are boring without pics, so here's one AB took on his mobile yesterday of the Master...

Photos This Friday !

Oh no !

So we've been working solidly .. but when somebody says they'd like to take your pic .. you realise your teeth are stained and your eyes are kinda wonky !! Spak attack !!

Soooooooo glad we decided to make this move with only one child. The boy sooooooooo needs a backyard at this stage, and I am grumpy "NO!" mummy, trying to clean and fix and get this place on the market .. I feel quite mean. Thank God for Mother's Group and Playgroup - making time for them makes me feel less of an ogre. At least when we moved the first time, he was just a little baby, with more easily met needs. I can't wait to unleash C. on the new place and spend real time with him, where he can be messy and naughty and mummy won't be cross.

Bring it on !

It's not a Bargain if it ends up costing Money ..

I have just emptied 2x bucketloads of non-draining water from the new/old dishwasher I bought on eBay. Took it apart, played with gravity feed, got out the Plumber's Helper.
Towelled off the floor.

Do I:
(a) call the plumber and increase the bill he will be slapping us with ?
(b) do the dishes by hand ( *gack!* ) for the next 4 months,
on top of all the cleaning and prepping to sell I am already doing ?

Stupid cheap dishwasher :(

Bone Tired..

Another day of caulking and cleaning windows, outside and in.
AB went and picked up the cheap dishwasher I bought on Ebay .. we are taking our brand-new one we just installed with us when we leave.

Removalist man arrives tomorrow to rid us of this excess - a couch, a desk & boxes, so the house should less resemble a toxic dumping ground tomorrow night. Salut!
