Here in our little household, work has finally started on building out our wall for our heater (which is currently waiting in its box on our patio). Mum's partner who is doing the job for us came over yesterday and started. I was so happy, I baked him his favourite dessert, apple crumble, to take home with him to enjoy.
All that is needed now are a few coats of sealer and Paul said as long as I'm willing to paint the wall on Wednesday/Thursday, I can book the heater man to come and finally install our long awaited unit anytime after Friday. Paul prefers to wait until next week but I'm desperate to have a nice glowing 'fire' next weekend and so I have volunteered to get out the paint roller. Fingers crossed all goes to plan and I'll be warm and toasty soon!!
What lovely things do you all have planned for this week?
OMG Amanda, that apple crumble looks devine! It's a favourite of mine too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the paint roller too!
This week is quiet for me at the moment, but that always changes!

That's exciting...it's going to look fabulous! Apple crumble...such a great winter dessert :)
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!!! It's going to be wonderful! And that apple cumble looks soooooooo delish!
ReplyDeleteNot too much organised for this week, going to visit friends today by the beach, out for dinner tonight and then just the usual activities for the rest of the week. Have a lovely day Amanda!!!

It must be exciting seeing things start to happen. Good luck with the painting, looking forward to seeing how it all looks.
ReplyDeleteAnd, wow, yum! That crumble looks devine :)
Just the usual this week, nothing too exciting here. Have a lovely week, Amanda.
You do have a busy week planned but it will be so worth it when you can sit back on the weekend and enjoy your fire! Your carpet looks lovely Amanda, you must be so pleased to be seeing some big jobs get completed! I have the usual week of work but we do have a conference Tues & Wed so that is a bit of a change and should make the week slightly more interesting! Good luck with your painting. xx
ReplyDeleteApple crumble is my absolute favourite and yours look sooo good!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so excited about getting your fire.

For me this week is going to be work work work with one highlight which will be a photoshoot for a couple of my wearable art dresses.
Have a good one Amanda :)
A nice glowing fire sounds great! Cute blog :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be wanting to get it done too Amanda. I hope you get the painting done with no dramas. It's going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis week my 16yo son is off on his yr11 camp so I'll probably be preoccupied thinking about him, wondering if he's warm enough at night in his tent, has he got enough water, did any snakes get into his tent (I'm a kiwi, we think snakes are everywhere,lol). Other than that I'm hoping for a nice quiet week.

ReplyDeleteawesome!! what heater did you end up choosing in the end??
ReplyDeleteDear Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI felt so sad to hear of the anniversary of your Dad's passing. Your Dad would be so proud of you and the way that you love and adore your little Grace.
I pray that soon, you will have a brother or sister for little Grace. You are a good Mummy, abstaining from alcohol, to have the healthiest little bub that you can. My fingers are crossed for you sweetheart. x o
Your crumble looked devine and prompted me to say to my Paul - "nearly a whole winter has passed and I haven't cooked a crumble!" Thus, I am off to do so.
Thank you for your inspiration. I am sending you strength and love in rememberance of your Dad.
My love, Tracey x o
