What’s new pussy cat?




Before and After!



Not much I tell you!

Although … we have finally finished the renovations in Blair Athol!!!

HOORAY!

After about a year of blood, sweat, tears, tantrums harrumphs’, cursing and hard work it is over!

We had 2 agents walk through so far. One was a complete doofus, plus he was late, didn’t ring to tell us so etc and had the worst ever excuses. He also walked through and said “you need to fix that, this etc etc” which we were a bit dis-pleased to hear that.

Anyway the second chick was much nicer, on time, didn’t tell us we needed to fix anything, and said she could get us a good price, was very thorough, and fairly competent and confident.

We think we will go with her.

So, poo poo to Century 21! And Hello Strata Data!

Apart from that we have been up at Mum and Dad’s new place every weekend from sun up to late, painting, fixing chopping, etc etc.
It’s a bit easier to be able to do all the work while there is bugger all furniture and people in the house!
Bert has been having fun to, barking at the birds and walking through paint!

Aside from that I have been having the warm and fuzzies lately (not that type!)

I joined a group called Free-cycle, they give away things to others etc, if it’s too good to throw away and you feel someone else could use it you make an offer and someone will come and pick it up. You can also ask for things on there to, say if you need a retaining wall or pavers or something. It’s quite fun, I have been using it to get rid of all the excess things from both houses. We free-cycled 2 dinner sets, a mountain of spare cutlery and the list goes on. I have also been able to get off there some shelves etc to go in Mum’s new garden shed (as it is bare!) I dipped out on some scrap booking magazines though!! You have to be quick!

Anyway, that is about it for us, working hard and rushing to get things done before mum and dad move up on the 3rd July!
