The old kitchen...... not long until the new one!!!Now I know we are desperate for rain, BUT we have now had about 3 weeks of it and OMG not just a bit, but a LOT.
You know when you get those big downpours for about 20mins and then it stops, well these downpours have been going for 4 HOURS straight, non-stop.
The neighbours at the back have been flooded in one room and I was chatting to a guy from work this morning and he was sorting out call outs all weekend!!!! (Council - so we get called out to sort it out).
Today started out quite cool and wet and overcast, this afternoon 32degC and about 100% humidity!!!!!!! I had the air-conditioning on all afternoon as it was terrible.
Is this global warming????
The good news is I have a date for my kitchen - 1 March it goes in YAY. I can't wait. Our kitchen we have now is.... ok..... - I have had it for 4 years so it can't be that bad, but it is time for a new one. The old one is a bit daggy in colour (gotta lurve that turquoise benchtop eh) and the particle board doors are starting to swell, there is just not enough cupboard space at all and I am totally hanging out for a dishwasher - I miss my one from my old house a lot.
Why is it though, when you decide to do something (ie spend a lot of cash $$$) that every bill you wern't expecting comes in?? Maybe it is Karma or something........... hmmmm
We had a busy weekend as usual. I had a meet up with friends on Saturday am which was great. Then we went down to the shops to get some stuff. I got 2 pairs of shoes!!! Jemma got 1 pair and some stationery stuff. We also got stuff for her school assignment. Sunday was doing the assignment while Greg too Michael to the park. The afternoon was cleaning up the chook pens (thanks Greg!) and lawns etc. Then the rain came down (again).
So it will be a very tight couple of months money wise I think, but worth it because I get a new kitchen and I guess we are adding value to our little house.
Some other stuff going on. I want to move Alex out of her big room and into a study/room as she is never home. Naturally this is causing her to crack it BIG time. She will be 21 in June and I have a big bedroom sitting there empty most weeks. She says I am kicking her out (which I'm not) and how mean I am. I told her I am changing our living arrangements and if she hates it so much then she can move out. She is sometimes worse than Jemma and Michael at chucking a tantie when we don't do what SHE wants. In all honesty, she treats this place like a hotel and I need the space.
Ahhhh, kids!!!!!! .
