When I say that our blood, sweat and tears have gone into our new bedroom, I’m not jokin’.   At the moment I have a finger and a heel bandaged due to renovation related accidents.   Xander has injured three of his fingers. No good renovation goes without a few casualties, and if I have to give up the use of a …

I finally finished painting the bedroom the other day.  God what a task.  As I mentioned in my previous post about it the texture of the wall made painting it an absolute hell. It’s done though!  The walls are finished and the molding has been painted and put up at the edge of the ceiling. Now that it’s all finished …

The bedroom was completely cleared out and washed down.  Xander was a HUGE help with this part as he doesn’t really do painting. On Sunday my friend Penny came over to help give me a head start on the painting, which was great.   For the past 3 days I’ve been in and out of the bedroom painting.  I have until …

The time has come to tackle our bedroom and get it up to date with the rest of our house.   It has been a long time coming!  We’ve been living in this flat for about 8 years and we’ve not done a single thing to it since we moved in.   When we bought the flat (we rented for about the …

I was just thinking about some upcoming redecoration that is going to be taking place here and I got to thinking about the house and how it’s changed again.  I started wondering if I’d ever shared our bathroom renovations.   I searched the blog for toilet, bathroom renovation, bathroom before and after and a few other things and came up with …

I have a PERIOD KEY! ……………………………………….. No more cutting and pasting! It’s wonderful! How do I have a new period key? It’s one of many new keys on my NEW LAPTOP! I know, this story just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? It’s a Sony Vaio FJ Series and the things I love about it include: The glossy screen …

Today I was too sore with my sunburn to enjoy any time out on my balcony, but Spencer was kind enough to cover for me… Seriously, does he have it made or what? He (and the other furry mammals in the house) run this joint, we are totally his bitches. Other news… Weight Loss Update: Week two: – 2 lbs …

My belly is absolutely bursting atm… Last night Xander tricked me into spending a long time with a full group of newbies doing something I really didn’t want to do in game. This made me very cranky so he promised to make a great Sunday morning breakfast. It is officially known as and will go down in history as “The …

This morning I saw something in my last post that I think could easily be taken the wrong way: … where I come from if you don’t get your license when you turn 16 you’re weird. If you don’t have your own car by the time you are in your 20’s.. you’re just a complete loser. When I re-read that …

So the floor tiles arrived and we went to the store to pick them up. Xander’s friend drove us and he wouldn’t let me get out of the car because of my back. Thoughtful, but in the end a huge mistake. He brought them out to the car and when I looked at them I thought, hey.. these aren’t the …

I was looking online at Netflix and am so jealous that we don’t have it here in NL. I’d totally subscribe if we did! We have a few cheap immitations but nothing that compares at all. I looked up a few different old movies just to see if they had them but they didn’t. I tried titles like The Parent …
