Home Sweet Home

We decided that we need to do more for the house. Actually we did a bit in 2006.
We block paved the front yard - I know not very Eco friendly especially that we got rid of a big shrub thing, a type of rose shrub that has plenty of lovely pink flowers during the summer, a big sort of pine tree and two hollies. The front yard is now neat with railings and a little gate. To be honest - it looks boring, definitely no curve appeal at all. Solution!!! get planters during the summer to add colour to the front. So why the block paving then?!?
We decorated the kitchen. The kitchen needs sprucing up. It looks a lot better. We opted for a lighter yellow. It was yellow and it is still yellow ;-)
We just bought carpet for the bathroom and the kitchen (part of the kitchen). Dennis will do the hard labour - poor thing but this had to be done. I hope I picked the right type of carpet for the bathroom this time. The carpet I picked two years ago was horrible!!!! So I have to live with it for 2 years.
Oh and our toilet seat broke!! And buying a new one is not that simple. You need to have the exact measurement. It took us ages to look for the right size...The list goes on and on.

Well, we thought we will just change the carpet near the sink; we ended up changing the carpet in the whole kitchen!!! Obviously the carpet is bigger than the kitchen. We cut and rolled it in the backroad - ha ha ha!!! I was praying that we will not create a traffic jam (ha ha ha).

Auntie Fe is arriving on the 19th, so much to do: food shopping, clean house, put up Christmas decks. To be honest I was stressing. Dennis helped a lot; we were able to divide tasks.

When everyone seemed skint and broke; Dennis and I are spending as if money is going out of fashion. We are stretched to the limit - I could already imagine how red our respective bank accounts are. We bought a new mattress. Exciting right?
