NEEDED DECENT CHAIN....

FOR THIS:

ABOVE:  I got my mirror yesterday... and Steve hung it for me.  It weighs a tonne!   I love it.

ABOVE:  another view... isn't it so pretty!
Today?  Reading blogs all day!  Got to do a big catch up again.  My blog reading is very sporadic right now! 

I bought something else yesterday too... wool!  I'm gunna either knit or crochet a baby blanket.
ONWARD...

The furniture repair people came to inspect the lounge suite.  Diagnosis?
- Re stuff the back of the sagging chair.
- Recolour the entire suite to cover the colour that has transferred from our clothes?

I told them 'NOT HAPPY' about that idea.  Can see ongoing issues like this FOREVER with this suite.  So, they are going back to Morgan (maker of our suite),  to tell them how I feel. 
Morgan has the right of repair FIRST... so we wait and see AGAIN.

Just about finished housework for the day... then I can sit down and blog read...
Poor Steve is scrapping paint off that kitchen wall STILL... it's a bitch of a job!  He's been working for hours ...

ABOVE:  he's NEARLY done!  He's earnt his keep this week for sure.    What a mess to clean up though... dust has gone EVERYWHERE...

It took over an hour and half to get all the dust off the cupboards, walls, floor, bench etc. 

Starting to set up for putting the tiles on the wall now.

WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS EASY...

YOU CAN BE SURE IT ISN'T.

The very first tile... the one that fits behind the power point...did not fit.  I had to go down to Takanini and get the hole cut bigger  so the power point could fit.  Grrrrr.
Bone tired ... so much cleaning had to be done... before we could start the tiling.  Looking forward to this evening to have a long soak in the spa with a drink (or three) ...

End of Day: just spent a good 40 minutes in the spa... oooo it was so nice!  It rained even, and I didn't care.  So relaxed now... it's been such a busy day.  Took a quick trip out to Karaka after dinner to take Speld raffle tickets back to the teacher... I hate raffle tickets.  We ended up buying ALMOST all of them.  Now we just need to win!  A weekend for two on Waiheke Island. NOW that would be nice.  *sigh*
