Nothing much to report on, interior-wise...still going through the motions of bills and other 'fun' things (note my sarcasm) looking for work, but hard to find something that fits into school hours, will keep trying though!
Today I pruned the rest of my kangaroo paws. I pruned the red ones a while ago, as they had all died and were looking horrible. So thanks to good old 'google' I found out how to do it.
Today it was the yellow ones turn....so now I have some really nice green leafy plants, instead of half dead pathetic looking things...hahaha!!
Have been 'googling' to try and find out what to plant now...flower-wise, as I would like some colour in the garden over Autumn and Winter. Haven't found anything yet.
If anyone still reads this and has any ideas, please feel free to message me/post a comment.
That's all for now :)

This is what happens when....
your husband is off work for just over two weeks and towards the end, he gets bored.
Yes, well....
Not much else has been happening on the home front. Unfortunately everything costs money and well, we need to live! Hahahaha!!
But rest assured I am having tonnes of fun, researching carpets and blinds and light fittings :)

Just saying...
My husband flies back in tonight yay!
So depending on how we go (usually quite busy when he's back) I will endeavour to take some pics, or even get him to take some, he may enjoy contributing to my dear old blog. LOL
So see you in a week or just a few hours or more.

Hmmm...
The tiler has yet to return, to put the new tiles in...I have had a tough week this past week and tonight had enough! So gaffer taped a plastic bag over the space where the tile was missing over the bath and I had a bath.
I feel soooo much better for it and of course the two little ones hopped in with me. Love them to bits.
Saw a crash between a bus and a car today and apparently the person passed away. :( very sad.
We were literally 2 minutes car drive from our house, but were turned away and so returned to Two Rocks and through past Sea Trees Estate and basically did a huge circle. My 6 minute drive, turned into 40 minutes.
Haven't mentioned, as I haven't been posting, but our grass out the front did a spectacular flop. Lack of water and it died...I have been out watering it every single evening for the past 4/5 weeks and it's back. Finally. I think I shall aim to have a play with the camera and take some garden photos.
Ok, well all from me this evening. Hope everyone out there reading are well. :)

The last post.
I have a toddler climbing over me, so much easier to do two blog posts than to try and move the pictures around how I want them! Hahaha!
The last post, pictures are our entrance way, which has been painted in OLIVINE (by Wattyl but in Taubmans paint). We put skirting board in, the Clik type, which was purchased at Bunnings and also a window sill, which my husband cut out himself. We will be putting window sills and skirting throughout the house, as we think it finishes off things that little bit more. :)
The other photos of the bathrooms, well our showers weren't tiled according to our addenda, so finally they are being re done. YAY!! The floor tiles are supposed to carry on as a 'skirting' tile and you may notice that the rest of the bathrooms are done, but not the showers...so very odd.
Anyway the bright blue stuff is the waterproofing and sometime this week he'll be back to put the correct tiles on.

We have painted!!!!!
Exciting news, we have begun painting! *SQUEAL*
Hahaha!
Hubby and I had both picked out colours that 'we' thought best, could not agree and so upon entering the paint shop, which by the way was a Bristol decorator centre in Joondalup and the staff are super friendly and extrememly helpful! ANYWAY....we entered the shop for the third time and looked at the 'wall of colour' and picked a colour and said right, that's our colour.
We got a 10 litre container of paint and that was that! We sealed our walls with a plaster sealer and left that to dry for a few hours (well overnight actually as we bought the paint the following day).
Because we are still in that 'new phase' of having our own house and LOVING the ability to DO things to OUR house, things like painting and skirting boards etc, are fun. So we don't mind the painting just now, we'll see how we go. ;-)
So the entrance is painted, skirting boards in and a window sill on the front window. It looks mighty fine. I will post photos when I can, the paint we have is Taubmans and it is a silky paint that has Teflon in it. We were going to go with the more expensive Taubmans endure, but were told by the people selling us the paint, that the one we are using would be much better with 3 children...I tell you I could tell them all to wipe their hands or not touch walls a thousand times a day (and probably do) but that's not working, so the next best thing, get a paint that is 'scrubbable' hahahha!
The colour is OLIVINE, it looks sort of beige in some lights, green in other light, then brown...it is an ever changing colour...we LOVE it. It has 'warmed' the house up and makes the place look homely if that makes sense. It is going to look wonderful when it is all finished, but for now we are going slow and steady and will see what else we can get up to :-)
