I'm Back...

We are all moved, Friday 27 March was the day and what a big day. We finally closed the door on the removalist at 6.30pm.

We had a house full of boxes, every where you looked there were boxes. Shit now we had to unpack. But first I had to clean, not that I wanted to, not that I thought I would have to. But I needed to. It all looked nice and clean, but it wasn't. Saturday morning was pack away the kitchen, but first I had to clean and it took 4 1/2 hours. Not happy Jan!

After a week and 2 days in this home we finally have the boxes in the hallway off the floor, some are unpacked, some are moved to the correct room where they will need packing away or unpacking. The 2 toilets are leaking inside the cistern, went to Bunnings to get things to fix them, didn't work, DH not happy, will have to buy the whole guts of the toilet tomorrow. The first big down pour of rain happened early in the week, all the gutters overflowed with water, what we thought was a nice big covered outdoor area became a wash with water. DH spent 4 hours saturday afternoon on the roof cleaning out all the gutters. Again not happy. What happened to people maintaning their homes, not the people in this one. Looks can be very decieving. We are slowly getting everything the way we want it.

#1 son, daughter inlaw, grand-daughter could be moving from the city back to near our old home, so we could be doing more moving on Good Friday, yah! Atleast it won't be ours and it will clear out a room at our home which is storing some of their things.

This is the first day back on the net, and that was a mini drama in itself. We have a house with 4 phone points, 2 include fax points. We had 2 phones connected to 2 of the points, and connected the internet to the point in the room we have set up as my craft/study room. Couldn't get the internet to work, rang the provider, worked through some issues with them, still didn't work. Tried other options, then rang provider back to say it was the phone line. After going through everything again the guy asked me to disconnect the other phones, kitchen point out, phone still working, bedroom point out, phone disconnected. Don't you hate that. The guy rang me back on my mobile (should have done that earlier and saved some phone costs). In the end the only phone line working for the internet and phone at the same time is the study line. When we connect the phone to the bedroom point it stuffs up the internet connection. So far so good. We have 5 cordless phones so only need a phone line point for the home base phone. So out with the other corded phone which DH wanted to have, I was so happy about that. I am not telling him that he could still have that phone in the kitchen point, as it cleared space of the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Makes me happy.

On the knitting front, I am in a smaller room for my craft/study room, so it looks a mess, but I will have to knit through it. Not a problem, maybe by 2015 it might be all done. Yes that is my goal again this year to finish all my stash. Can't see that happening this year though. I am doing a special little guys rug in football team colours. So happy knitting.

Daylight savings ended last night, so it was dark earlier tonight, but the best thing will be it will be light when I get up in the morning. Gotta love that.

I am tied from non stop unpacking, I am going to bed. Goodnight! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
