Bought a pool and gazebo shade tent thingy for the backyard. Pool was very cheap so I thought it’d be smallish. It’s actually reasonably large and will be used extensively over the next few days and weeks. The kids love it! 😁 It’s a W for mum.

I’ve had a bit of birdbath tribulation as well. When I put it out the back for the first time it wasn’t long before the damn myna birds took it over and started bossing away all the birds I wanted to attract 🙁So I put it around the side of the house and now I never see birds there because it’s too close to our door. The bees get a drink though.

If only I had the cupboards 😭This place has a small wardrobe in each bedroom, a scant amount of kitchen cupboards and that’s it, and there’s no room for extra cupboards.

Have spent the day on and off cleaning. I can believe those “flat surface” theories of home interiors, where every flat surface becomes a dump zone for clutter. That’s what happened to my place 😔 Even on top of the fridge and on top of the dishwasher, cluttered with bits and pieces and thick with dust. The fridge is next to the stove and the extractor fan isn’t really up to the task of taking all the oil out. I have scrubbed, polished and discarded stuff. Now having a cup of tea and a Shredded Wheatmeal biscuit (ok several) and wishing they were Chocolate Wheatons.

I’m actually the same; been exercising and watching what I eat and steadily and very slowly losing weight and getting more toned, so I’m going to keep up the good work!

Gotta agree with the pothole comment; around here I see the same bad bits of roads getting bodgy patchups year after year. Same near work. Colleagues of mine who live in different areas say the same thing of their suburbs. Honest question, why are we so bad at fixing roads now? Did something change? 🤔

Thinking of doing this with the kids, especially while pt is free on weekends

Laundry for me today, and maybe grocery shopping if I can be bothered. Also attempting to declutter, one small bit at a time.

Isn’t it awful! And in shops like Uniqlo where everything is always so neatly folded, having to go around and endlessly refold everything.

Went to Highpoint today. Note to self: avoid major shopping centres anywhere near Boxing Day sales. Kmart looked it’d been pillaged by the Hun. Everywhere there were kids screaming like their parents were being murdered in front of them. We’d find something one of us liked but then not in the right size etc. It was busy even for that place. My anxiety prone elder minipeeler hit the limit of his tolerance for that kind of thing and I called time on it. What was I thinking? 🤦🏼♀️

Managed to get the Minipeelers to agree to do an early shopping centre trip tomorrow. If we’re going to do big busy places I prefer to head out early. They’re champing at the bit to spend their Christmas money 😆Went to one of the local strip shopping places to grab a little grocery and it’s so quiet, many shops closed.

Merry Christmas to you all! I worked up until Xmas Eve, we did a deep clean of the factory for end of year. My feet were throbbing and my biceps were burning! Then yesterday went shopping for the last minute stuff, wrapped gifts, prepped food, made cheesecake. This morning we did the presents, I cooked lunch, ate cheesecake and then bailed on going out to rellys this afternoon in favour of a couple of hours sleep! Must’ve needed it. My kids and ExMrP saw the effort I made and they all thanked me privately and individually for making Christmas. I did it! I know a few days ago I was stressing about my workload (you guys were really supportive 🥹😘) but once I vented and got over my own performance anxiety I fucking rocked it 😎 And then crashed lol.

Congratulations and merry Christmas! I’ve been busy, and not keeping up with the group.

Must’ve been the day for it. I burnt my lips eating a noodle soup that was very hot both temperature wise and spicy wise. I think my lips got confused with what kind of heat I was dealing with, and today I was mildly worried I was having an allergic reaction to something as my lips were swollen and numb and I looked embarrassingly like I’d had a procedure 😆

Wow, it’s the time of year where everything seems to happen at once! Luckily you’re a strong and rational cool-headed person who can deal 😎

I used to keep everything, but moving around a lot and renting made it really hard. I lost most of my books after a bad break-up. Now, with the Minipeelers in the picture and living in a small space, they’ve got heaps of books and occasionally we do a cull to pass some over to younger relatives. They’re allowed to keep as much as they like.
I will never forget living alone in a freezing house a couple of decades ago, with no money and a fireplace. I had every jacket and doona and was still freezing, so I made the decision to burn some books to keep warm. As a former student of literature, this was heartbreaking. The process of deciding which books would be burnt and which could not was not something I ever wish to repeat.

Ok now I’m low key panicking a bit… I’ll be working Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday for a time. Got to wrap gifts this weekend and prepare foods as much as possible. The family had a vote and apparently unanimously voted for my Basque cheesecake as the Christmas dessert instead of pudding or other traditional stuffs 🤔
