Small task = major renovations!!

What is it about us and silly little tasks turning into major renovations? We recently decided we wanted a vegie garden, so Daryl managed to get a good deal on some retaining and the vegie gardens were built, which lead on to a fort being built for the kids which lead on to the whole pool fence being replaced. We now have a great looking completely renovated back yard that simply started with a vegie garden!!
Now we have had a situation where Daryl was doing a minor task in the bathroom and dropped a drill gun thru the bath. OOOOPS! Insurance called and we were getting the bath replaced. Builder here today pulled off the melamine surround and discovered pretty manky wood underneath. Now we were always going to renovate the bathroom, however it was supposed to be a year or two down the track. It's now happening starting tomorrow!! Since we have to replace the wall we might as well do the whole lot!
Hmmm, remind me to not give Daryl any new tasks (however minor they might seem) for at least a year!!

Stress relief

I have discovered a new way of relieving stress. Having just introduced Ryan to the wonders of lego (the proper small stuff) I have discovered that it is very theraputic to pick up. Ryan has a big tub of the stuff that he likes to complete tip up and empty over the floor, but this is good it turns out. The feeling of scooping up big handfuls is just loverly. My only problem is that Ryan is a little helper and likes to help. No...Mummy wants to do this one on her own. Heeheehee, wouldn't really say it. There is no way i want to curb his helping tidy streak!!
However if anyone wants to know what to by Ryan for his upcoming birthday. LEGO!

Woohoo!! Thunderthighs are good for you health!

Article on the news last night. Apparantly smaller waists bigger thighs are the key to longevity! Okay, so i need to work on the waist bit a little, but i've got the thighs well and truly covered!!
Waist should be no bigger than 89cm and thighs should be no smaller than 60cm.
Where do i fit in? Hmmm are you aloud to measure your waist as being just below your boobs? No?...okay well waist 96cm and thigh 65cm. A few sit ups and lunges maybe and i could be perfectly healthy.... I WISH!
