Here I am

Well not there but over here!! lol We are in and mostly unpacked. I have three boxes left, hubby has nearly a whole garage full, but they are stacked away in cupboards and you can't see them LOL What a weekend!!! I am still so overwelmed and speachless about the help that we had. Thanks so much guys!! Thanks to the wonderful Nic for making us scones (yep freshly baked) and lunch, thanks Paul for the loan of your muscles and for mowing my lawn before it rained, thanks to my awesome sister who babysat the cat, cleaned cupboards and emptied my kitchen all over the place LOL, thanks to her hubby for his lifting skills. Thanks to my fantastic inlaws and to Nick and Shelley for helping to unpack. Just awesome guys!!

No thanks to mr telecom who stuffed up the change over of my phone and also now broadband is connected but unable to work at the same time as my phone line. Too funny!! But that too will be fixed.

There are so many things about this house that I dislike but so much more that I am starting to like. Little things that I am finding like the size of the bath is awesome, the handbasins are so deep and a good size, the flow of the house is working for us and we have changed around our extension plans a little now that we are in here, it is much WARMER than I thought it was going to be (phew) and the rooms are bigger too for the girls to store their many treasures that girls have. Little things that are making me happier every day. It is starting to feel like home.

Thanks for all your good wishes girls. Kettle is on any time. Thanks for the cookies too Penny LOL

Off to relax

It is time!

to move LOL Wow finally the day has arrived. We are all sorted and set to go first thing in the morning. Have had some wonderful help this afternoon and the truck is stacked full and ready to go. House is almost as clean as when we first moved in (in fact cleaner in places as there is now no gib dust left). I am shattered after a full on day but am staying close to my fireplace at the mo as we have no heating in the new old house LOL and you all know I hate to be cold.

Karen you have an invite for coffee anytime chick. Just hang out across the road and down a few houses from the last get together LOL

Four more sleeps

yep thats all!! Four more sleeps and we are on the move. I went shopping yesterday with my MIL for baby clothes for my SIL. It was fun!! We found heaps, bought heaps (always fun when you are spending someone elses money lol) and also got some things on sale for next year for the girls. It was also good in that it kept me busy and I couldn't pack any more boxes LOL The weather is absolutely crappy, so heres hoping that it blows itself out by Friday and Saturday. Fingers crossed people lol

I am worrying that I have forgotten to do something, worrying that I haven't double checked something, worrying that the carpet wont get cleaned tomorrow at the new address cause I can still see furniture through the windows. I am trying not to drive past LOL

later

Boxes!!

Everywhere!! Multiplying and stacking themselves in piles around the house!! Moving day is getting nearer and we all can't wait. Sad to leave our little house that we built, put our hearts into decorating, sweat into the garden and love into the walls. But 'home' is where you are, no matter which house you live in. We will make this new old home ours. Kinda really excited about it too. Once we have added a new room to the back then I get to add some colour and our personality to the walls. Gonna be lots of hard work but also lots of fun. Hey if 'e' can do it preggers then I am sure I can do it not preggers. lol E you are my hero, renovating while expecting.

The sleep countdown is on and the organising is done. Just the final packing and the cleaning (for those of you that know me WAHOOO!!! for the cleaning lol).

I really should be packing up the scraproom tonight but for some reason it is the room that I am struggling with the most. Need to be able to 'see' my things lol

enjoy the weekend

What a weekend!!

What a blast CC06 was. OMG So great to catch up with so many awesome chicks. You girls are just wonderful. All my classes were cool and I came away with some fantastic projects, some still to be finished but I am determined to do that. Had an absolute blast, still recovering from the lack of sleep and the motion sickness from the flight and the 200 elevator trips a day LMAO. Oh and the scales aren't being very kind at the moment but I am 'ok' with that LOL The wonderful Trina had her baby boy the morning we left and the wonderful Evana decided that CC was a great time to have her gorgeous wee boy. We were taking bets on whether he would be born before dessert. LOL Well done ladies. Your babies are just gorgeous and I can't wait for cuddles. I did get cuddles with a friends little girl. OMG so clucky!!! Kate she is adorable!!!

As you will know from previous comments I wasn't really into the swap pin thing. Wow that was so much fun!!! I have a bag full of them (had to take them off the outside of my tote to fly home). Really lots of fun swapping and seeing what other people came up with. Next time I will be less shy about asking for them.

So to all you ladies that attended and I met, caught up with, chatted too etc. It was awesome!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!! can't wait for next year LMAO

Right on to the next thing. Packing up the house. We move in ummm.... oh yeah, 10 days!! Need to get a move on I think LOL Am still just cruising after the weekend. Will get out the boxes and the tape this morning. My scrap space is next on the list, so there wont be any finishing of projects, albums etc until after the big move. I did finish my two layouts from the megacrop last night and I am happy with those.

Have a great day.
