Filling in the gaps

Well as Tim said i would be filling in more details as he gets bored quickly and I enjoy filling in all the small details!

Last week again was a week of loads doing to the house, we never seem to get any further forward the house just looks the same constantly even though it has swallowed up most of our money!

More hassles with the barracuda in the pool as it keeps getting stuck over the drain plug and not doing what it should, by keeping the pool nice and clean :) It also started making this huge sucking sound which is like water going down a plug hole but 20 times louder and annoying to us let alone the neighbours! Tim found out it was a split in some hose in some part of the barracuda!

Cooper had his injection on Monday so he can now go for walks, which is interesting as he constantly wants to eat roxys face as we walk along! Tim took Cooper for his injection as i started my stained glass window class this Monday!Was very excited and decided i was going to do a dragon head to start!

Not so simple! I had to start off learning all the techniques and then i could get on to the dragon head next week! I was so excited that the other woman did not turn up so it was a private lesson and so i leapt ahead and got more lessons done in one day. I am making a purple frog with red eyes and feet! So i learnt how to cut a pattern out, trace it to glass, cut the pattern out on the glass and grind it down to a good shape. My homework is to foil it and next week i will solider it. Very excited and looking forward to making loads of sun catchers, then on to lamp shades and then more exciting stuff if i don't cut off my fingers before then!

Strange not to get any mail at the moment after all the post for Christmas! A big thank you to all of you who were kind enough to send cards at a huge cost of 72p seems so expensive to the 105 cents here! They even reduce the cost to post here in Oz and to the UK for Christmas to help every one! Bless!

Luke called this week and he now has a new job which he sounds really excited about and for a change is being paid almost good money which will help him live a bit better in London. It was nice to know he was ok as i have been worrying as us mums do! We cant help it it is programmed into us to worry! He has also split up from his girl friend so is going through a big change at the moment! Bless! I know he will focus on work and sort himself out, he is a great lad (takes after me ! not his dad there!! ...................... don't tell Nick i said that!!) so he will find another girl when he is ready! Good luck in your new job my baby! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX He starts Friday the 12th Jan!

The fridge/freezer has been plumbed in and we now have running cold filtered water and crushed ice on the go! so nice! As the temp has now soared to a hight of 33 degrees and nearly 90% humidity which is flooring me!

I had 3 showers today and now only just feel sweat free! the first was after doing the gardening, we started at 5.30am and finished about 8am just in time for me to have a shower before going off to pay squash, got trashed as i could not run for anything as i was just sweating buckets! Got back had a swim in the pool then had a shower and we went down the tip with all the garden stuff as it seems to have been hanging around for ever and it worries you as it is so easy for it to catch fire so hard working day! After 3 trips to tip and time out shopping for food got back to have a quick wash to take Cooper to puppy classes!

But not before i slurped down a quick beer :)

The dishwasher is also plumbed in and working! Wooooo! Hooooo! no dirty dishes hanging around and nothing hanging around on the draining board my pet hate!

Got back at 7.20pm and decided i was too lazy to cook so pizza came :) so not much dishwashing!

Now can hardly keep my eyes open so i am off to bed :)

Tim is making his computer chair up and Roxy is asleep in the lounge and cooper is under my feet flaked out with the fan beating down on him! After his exciting night with all the pups, he found a favourite a black lab called storm! they spent the whole time playing! He did do some work but not too much!

Good night all and i will post some pictures tomorrow
