Nearly there. Waiting for hubby to put one more coat on the upper trim and we are done. 

Took this with no light on as that’s what I see. With the light on it looks more yellow than it is.

I’m glad I painted it eventhough it’s a pain. Managed to smudge the ceiling and wasn’t quick enough to wipe it off. Now I’ve got to sand it and touch it up with the ceiling colour.

I’m never going to paint again. Please remind me how much I hate it next time if I should go crazy?


I’m thinking of giving away my vases. My quest on decluttering . The only one I really use is the second one from the Baileys bottle. The crystal ones were engagement or wedding pressies? 


Then on this side I’m seriously thinking of getting rid of those figurines . We got them on our trip to VN. They just collect dust. Also more vases . I only ever use the two jar looking ones. 

Guess I can always store them away in a box. Just in case hubby or the kids ask about them. Don’t think he would notice.


One good thing about having arty farties as kids is there’s always paint brushes lying around.


I used a fine one today to touch up on the pulls. They look the same now 😍 I’m never painting metal again. The paint is super thick and hard to work with. 

As for my sunroof it’s being nuts again. Must be spirited or something . It refused to open this morning. 

Might have to wait til it warms up a little . 

Today’s list:

I’ve got today free to do whatever. I’m not fully awake as yet. It’s Mother’s Day weekend thus everywhere will be busy so not keen to go anywhere much. 

There’s a sinkful of dishes awaiting me . Going to chuck them into the dishwasher. 

My CPD still untouched all these weeks. Not in the mood to tackle them. I should just bite the bullet and sit down and get them done.

My fridge needs an empty and a clean. 

I might sort the paperwork. It’s piling up. 

I tend to have 3 boxes. 1 recycle 1 shred 1 keep.

Then the one to keep goes into 3 piles

1 business 1 home 1 reports (school)

Then the home one get sorted into tax , pharmacy, receipts etc 

The pharmacy one is CPDs that we have to keep for records.

Tax we keep for 7 years. Scripts for 3. 

Receipts I keep just in case for exchange and big items. 

Anyhow I’d better get cracking as it’s nearly tax time again. I keep my own stuff as can never find anything once I hand it to hubby . 

Since we have a business we get extra time to hand our tax in. Ours is not due til May next year not October like everyone else’s .

We tend to get it done early as with me not working much and the rental not rented out we should get a return. 

We pay as we go over here which is calculated on our profit plus a 20% estimation on the year after . So most time we pay too much tax. 

The PAYG tax is paid quarterly to the government . 

The other thing I need to do is work out what we’ve got to take out a home contents insurance . 

We haven’t got much but just to replace our furniture would be a bundle if something happens. 

If I don’t do it hubby will never get around to it. It needs to be done by Monday. 

I’m the pusherer. If I don’t push nothing gets done.
