All caught up

Ahhh, finally caught up. Yes its taken all morning - with a trip to school to drop the kiddies off, and to the hardware store for the pool chemicals, but I am finally caught up - on glo-girls blog. ::smiles::

So since I don't have the time to comment on everything I wanted to, glo this 'tis 4 u.
1. bananas: cost a fortune because of the cyclone that wiped them all out earlier this year. Hopefully the price will be reasonable again by Christmas. I am so hanging for a banana!
2. I also love spring. I feel like I am smiling everyday. And I luv your happy pics.
3. Nettles hurt. I got one it my butt one time when trying to have a squat whilst camping. Not fun!
Oh there was more but I can 'member right now.

Thanks for the email on how to refresh. Took about 5 minutes before the dumb 'puter would do it. I so gotta clear some space on this laptop. Its not happy.

I've been creating lat night. Its still spread across the kitchen table. I've oficially taken over 3 rooms now, the study - aka my happy place, the dining room and kitchen table. I so love it. I need a trip to the lss for some more goodies. I am craving some cute embellishments. I am hanging out to share, but I want to wait until its finished.

Chrissy shared pics of her new happy room. So I was thinking I need to buy myself some desk lamps and actually work back in my study. Something to cover the doorway would be cool too. One of those frangipani bamboo things.

On another note, my Mum retired last week. Her birthday was the Thursday , a week and a half ago, and she retired on the Friday. So I spent most of last week with her. It was actually pretty cool which was nice. Although we did clean my house. She doesn't stop when tired, so I had to keep going until I was ready to drop! Sad part is, although still tidy, it needs cleaning again. ::frown::

So on that cleaning part I've got a stack of dishes to wash, floor to sweep and the patio man coming over soon to give us the quote on finishing the rest of our awning. Better make sure I sit down for that one. Oh and I have to iron. I hate ironing.

Yesterday we gardened. We are moving part of the pool fence to accomodate the water slide that Santa bought last year. So that meant creating a new garden so we can move some of the pavers to go under the slide, and move the plants out of the garden - the ones that were actually growing and surviving this drought. I only have 2 weeks to water them with a watering can and then on October 1st we go to level 4 water restrictions and can't water at all. I so hope they survive. They are gardenias - my favourite.

All right, better go clean up.
