Slowly Slowly


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?

  5. 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

  10. I'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.
    This 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.

  17. Dear Amanda,

    I 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
