QUICKER THAN WE THINK


Today the joiner came to do final measurements for our new kitchen. He tells me the joinery will be ready in 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS! That's quicker than we thought. Serious emptying out of cupboards today. Unscrewing things off the walls. Putting away the art work.

2 kids home sick but lots of progress made on clearing out the kitchen (in between running to Elliot to help him when he vomits. I must say he is a very tidy sick person. All the tissues end up in the bin and he even washed out his vomit bowl when I was on the phone - unlike big sister who could learn a few lessons about cleanliness being next to godliness!).

No gym for me today but all that lifting and carrying surely passes as a workout?

Off to the doctor (again) this afternoon - gotta get those kids better by Friday (and Taupo).

That's right, Karen, but I can't guarantee it will be actually finished.... glass splashback, painting, cavity slider,flooring (don't even know what's going on the floors) still to be sorted

Wow! Look at all that stuff! I swear things must multiply when they are in cupboards behind closed doors! LOL!

Hope those kids feel better soon & you don't catch anything :(

Yay for you...new kitchen SOON. I really hope Elliot is better soon and you can enjoy your weekend away in Taupo.
Remember Toy Story. Maybe your kitchen stuff might have a big party in your lounge while you're gone.
