I know

You are all hanging out for photos aren't you!

I am slack! It's been crazy here, I havn't even taken any pics yet! But we are IN! YAY... Love the house! Though we are discovering a few quirks...

1. Old houses dont have many power points.
2. Floor boards are NO good in a toilet/bathroom. Wee soaks into the boards & no matter how much you scrub, the stench will not go away YUCK! (lucky a bathroom reno is on the cards first up eh!)
3. There is no normal t.v antena. A Foxtel one, yes. But I dont want Foxtel! ( I missed the Australian Idol Finale last night & I'm gonna miss Packed to the Rafters!! Woe is me!)
4. There is not enough cupboard space in the kitchen. (again, lucky a kitchen reno is on the cards second up)
5. Old houses dont come with fly screens. Poor Ella has been eaten alive by mozzies in her sleep!

So our "to do" list is growing... but I still LOVE all the character and charm our new [old] house has... no regrets...

I will post photos soon I PROMISE!!

What a weekend!

Today is settlement day... in 1/2 hour Swift Jim will collect the keys to our new [old] house!!
I however sit here at home ill. The gastro bug hit me at about 2 o'clock this morning, How's that for timing... blergh!
I am hoping I am better by tomorrow.. The handmade expo is on & I was planning to go for an hour first up in the morning, then on to moving house... I hope I'm not laid up in bed!

Buns!

We have BUNS! Do remember my post a while ago about Ella's hair? Well this morning we tried buns...

It's probably still slightly too short, but it still works :)

She is growing up so much!!

Ooh these are NICE!

Visit Sarah + Abraham to check out their cute as family labels! I was needing some new return address labels since we are moving house & these are just perfect!!

The ones pictured here are gift labels, but they have things for all occasions!

How classy are my letters going to look now !
