Finally the rain has stopped
I was able to get outside and do those jobs that I have been itching to do...
Firstly it was to pull the canvas off and stitch it back together...
Sewing was the easy part...
Trying to figure out how to set the sewing machine up was the hard part...
I always manage to have trouble with that bobbin thingy underneath and after an hour of perservering I succeeded...lol
Damn who said sewing was easy...hahaha
Caught up with the washing finally , all washed dried and put away...
This girl has worked out on how not to iron...One less job to worry about...lol
Then it was onto the lawns...
OMG i`m going to kill that lawnmower before it kills me....
I get it started ok and it`ll run for about 30 seconds then it`ll konk out on me...
Took me twice as long to mow just the back lawn...I still have the front to do but i`m going to leave that for tomorrow...
Krystal and I had a wonderful day out together on Saturday and I`m going to try to at least go out with her on a monthly basis...It did me the world of good and she enjoyed it too...
I spoilt myself by buying 2 summer dresses which only cost me $12 each...
Bought a few things for the home and of course a bag of lollies for Daniel because he was a good boy for his dad...
Well i`m in the process of making tea...Just cold chicken and salad tonight...The diet is still going to plan Tamaris...
Hope you managed to be a good girl too...lol
Hope you all had a lovely weekend....
I`ll do the rounds after finishing off tea....
By the way I don`t think Bigblog is getting much activity these days....Very quiet over there....Any wonder...Most are here...lol...
Bye
you have been busy today mandy, and you are going well with your diet. let's be strong together. my lawn is tiny and i've got a push mower. because of all the rain i haven't mowed it for a few weeks. (that's my excuse anyway). i think i'll go and do it now. at least it's dried a bit. my washing is inside, i think it's dry now. having a day off tomorrow. yay. think i'll go through my clothes and declutter. hahaha it will probably take all day. my sister is coming on friday. staying over too. have a good tuesday. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a busy day when it comes to sewing you have done better then me as I have no idea how to use a sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteHello Yevisha...
ReplyDeleteI`m starting to feel the affects of my busy day plus I think the lack of food i`m used too...lol...Hope the lawn mowing went well..I remember using one of those push mowers and when the lawn starts to get a little high and thick it can certainly work up a sweat...lol...
Come summer i`m going to be able to wear shorts at this rate...I haven`t worn them in years...My legs may actually see some sun...lol...
You have a great day off tomorrow and don`t declutter too much...You know it all comes back into fashion eventually...lol
Hello Jo-Anne....
ReplyDeleteI knew I shouldn`t have wagged my lessons at school...lol
Hello Mandy, Bloody lawn mowers that what I have to say....I do remember those days when Lou worked night shift and away and I had to mow the lawns and all I have to say again is bloody lawn mowers.
ReplyDeleteSewing it took you that long to work out the bobbin thingy, it would of taken me longer to threat the needle.
Glad you and Krystal had a good day and yes you should do it more often. Mother and daughter bonding is good until they get a boyfriend.
Hope all is good on the home front.
Love always and take care.
Janelle
Hello Mandy,
ReplyDeleteWell you have been very busy.
Glad you have mastered that sewing machine, now you can whip up a storm with it.
Good to hear you and Krystal have a beaut day out together and new clothes.
Hope you get that lawnmower going for longer, they are stupid things sometimes, yet they cut the grass which is the good thing.
I haven't done a great deal on BB due to it being so slow still as we know.
Take care,
Margaret
Hi Mandy,
ReplyDeleteWow, you had a busy day....I'm exhausted..hehehehe.
Great to hear that you and Krystal has such a great day. My son Mark and I always love our days together.
When I tried to mow my lawn a couple of weeks ago it wouldn't start. I went to the garage and bought a new spark plug...it still didn't work so off to the lawn mower repair place I went. A full service and brand new blades and $125 later I was up and mowing the lawns again a few days later. Green concrete is starting to sound really tempting to me...hehehehe
Have a great day
Rudy
Hello Janelle....
ReplyDeleteI agree about the lawnmower and I`m not looking forward to the battle today...lol...
Don`t even go there with the threading of the needle....Here I was taking forever and Krystal who had the day off school comes along and BANG , did it straight away....lol
Yes i am lucky to have a good daughter...Hopefully she won`t ignore me when she does get herself a boyfriend....
Have a wonderful day my friend...love to you
Hello Margaret...
ReplyDeleteNot to sure about whipping up a storm...lol...
I may be adventerous and try to make myself a skirt...Something easy...lol...
BB is terrible...I get annoyed just trying to log in let alone try and look at other people`s blogs....
Well you have a great day....
Hello Rudy.....
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy our day out...It was nice not having to run around after my youngest and we could just stroll around at our own pace...Look at what we wanted and be stress free....lol..
Don`t I know about the concrete lawn...I have been tempted many a time...lol...
It`s not cheap to have a lawnmower repaired and they are so basic....A bit like a vet isn`t it....Charge like a wounded bull....lol...
Hi there Mandy....you are not wrong about the Pond....its too slow, I just dont have the time to spare.......I think I will just leave photos for the family.....
ReplyDeleteJames has chickenpox...so much for the immunization - apparently they can still get a small dose - so its a week at home for us....must take them for a drive later....thank goodness for Foxtel!!!
Good luck with the sewing machine.....my grans is still sitting here next to the computer.....mmmmm.....
Hi Hosky...
ReplyDeleteOMG not chicken pox....Daniel has never been immunised and still hasn`t had them...I`m sort of expecting it....
My lot are at me for foxtel but if I did that I would never get them out of the house...lol....
As for the pond i`ve given up...It`s too time consuming lately...I just leave a post and that`s it....
Well hope you survive the week...I think you`ll be needing a drink...lol
