10 Green Bills

Jan and Kevin gave us $1000 to spend on our new house. Pretty stoked. Actually pretty stoked that all 10 green bills made it home without burning a hole in Andrews back pocket!!We are thinking plaster sheeting, new floorcoverings, a shower bay, a new fridge, not all those things obviously but maybe one or half of one of those things. The list is rather endless but hey thats renovating for you.

We have bought a 3 bedroom home that needs some work. It is in a place called Dodges Ferry and has a great view of the bay. Which was the selling point!! Andrew has taken off all the architraves (unsure of spelling) so it is now rather drafty in the house. That is an understatement, bloody freezing to be exact. Lucky it is only our stopover house at the moment.
Mum and Dad's new abode is exactly 4 minutes drive away, haven't walked it yet, I am thinking 10 minutes when the tide is low and maybe 20-30 minutes around the roads.
I love their new house. It is right on the river.The water at the end of their jetty is crystal clear, so pretty. Dad wants to put a new shed in and put floor boards instead of carpet. Afew huundred other things that will be essential,lol. At least it will keep them occupied over the cold months to come.....

I got an email from a friend of mine in WA. Her little girl who is in grade 1 won Junior champion girl for years 1,2,3. A champion in the making? Maybe. Nice to hear from them all. They are taking off in their camper up north, I am a tad jealous. I feel a bit stuck at the moment.I am dreaming of running a resort on some wonderfully warm island. Actually forget the work part of it just laying on a beach doing not very much at all on a wonderfully warm island sounds better!!

I made a great big pot of chicken and veg soup tonight. Everyone ate it all up, no complaints in fact a few compliments. Cal got through 2 bowls. Can't have been too bad!
I have invoices to code so I had better do that before Cal adn Rori come back with Macka.
See ya

Feel a little weird as this is the first time I have written a Blog. My sisiter has one and I love reading it and seeing what she is up to. In fact it kind of feels like I am sneaking into her thoughts and seeeing things from a different perspective.
Both my children are in bed asleep so I have a bit of quiet time. I should be finishing off my theory module on Personal Training for Children whilst I have a spare minute but feel a need for something different.
I read an interesting piece the other day on preservatives and artificial flavours etc in our food. Which then led me to the website www.fedup.com.au by Sue Dengate. Really interesting and a bit scary to see all the crap they put in our foods. So am going to try the failsafe cooking methods for a while.
I guess that is all for the moment. We have Jenny Morris playing at our local tavern this Saturday coming. She will be staying at the accommodation establishment we run. Rather exciting. Always loved that song, "She's got to be loved" Is that showing that I am 80's child!
Well I am going to try and Blog regularly more for therapeutic reasons than anything else. I used to write a lot as a child and it always made me feel better so why not try it as an adult!! Got to be better than prosaic - I'm joking!!
Do you sign off on these things, I don't know well bye for now.
