my new stuff

Hiya everyone,



I'm back, I'm pleased to announce that all colds, coughs and similar annoyances are finally gone and I'm back to health. (That little stomach bug i had during my short stay in Sydney two weeks ago is not even worth mentioning...)



I am crazily busy at the moment, trying to add lots of new cups to my Etsy store. I found some lovely cups while i was out and about shopping. I seem to get more and more picky with choosing my cups, i only wanted the nicest stuff!

There are also a few things to organise for my upcoming wedding (excitement, excitement!!). We are getting married in November on the Great Ocean Road. It will be a very small, very informal and personal little celebration and we are very much looking forward to it. But even though it's going to be small there is still a bit to organise.

Then we had the pleasure of having to get our car fixed this week. I thought it didn't sound promising when the car made an asthmatic coughing sound and than kind of died. In short, we needed a new battery and a new Alternator. And don't ask me what that is because i don't know and I'm not even sure if i spelled it right.. But we have a new one now anyway!

Anyway, wallet a lot lighter and car in recovery we decided to spend even more money and booked a "delayed" Honeymoon over New Years Eve in Port Douglas, yippieh!! That's right on the Great Barrie Reef and i can't wait to go snorkeling! And lay on the beach! And just hang out! And and and.. It should be good!



Anyway, i better start adding some photos.



I took a few photos of the soy wax melts I'm going to put into my Etsy store shortly. I'm still testing them.. with the weather being so nice in Melbourne lately i have the doors and windows open all the time and any scent would disappear quickly, makes testing a bit hard.

There are my little heart melts, they just need some colour i think.. but the scent of the essential Lavender oil is very nice!

Actually i wanted to add a few more pics of today's finds at the Camberwell market but I'm a bit tired now, i might just go to bed..:-) and admire my new dressing table in the bedroom, photo follows soon!

Nightie night everyone! See you soon!

stilll coughing

After five days I'm still coughing and probably sounding a bit french when speaking since my nose is blocked. Not that there was much of a chance to recover over the last few days, there are always these unexpected things coming up, for example tuesday: After 8 hours of running after Kids AND lots of talking (Kids just don't understand that you might want to rest your voice, they never do it after all!) all I wanted was to go home, lay on the couch and finally shut up.
I wish.. I got home, my fiance Luke was running around between house and electricity meter trying to read it and explaining everything to me. That was very nice of him to sort that all out, I was just so tired.. then he was going to cook dinner, I rang his sister as it was her birthday. We had a quick, nice chat but my voice was getting less and less, the cough increased.

I finished talking, Luke said: "we don't have any water"
Me: "What??"
Luke: "There is no water coming out of the taps."

More running around between house and meters, gentle turning of the water meter tap wich did absolutaly nothing. Strangly enough the meter was measuring water usage although we obviuosly didn't use anything!
Call to the water company, they were going to send someone out. 15 minutes later a guy with massive torch turned up and checked out the meter. Turned out that there had been some repair work on the main pipe that very morning and the clever person that did the job connected our water pipe to the meter of the unit next to us and theirs to our meter!!!
We did have water again but it left us with the following questions:

-Who pays for what water usage from now on?
-Why wasn't our water turned on?
-Does the person that conducted the repair need glasses?? OH YES!!
-What happened to that evening of silence i was planning on?

We cooked dinner(now we had water again), we ate, we were discussing holiday plans in Queensland... as you can see we did all sorts of stuff that night, just being quiet i didn't manage...
