Well it's taken a few weeks, but we are finally back in the 21st century. We have a phone and the internet!!! I was so surprised when we got our first phone call from the phone company. I just stared at the phone wondering what the noise was! How funny is this though, when I asked the guy what our phone number was he said very seriously that no he couldn't tell me due to the privacy laws!! I couldn't believe it! He said he could get around the laws if he could text it to me!?!? But alls okay now - sadly though I had so much catching up to do on my challenges - I'm so glad that I had done all my layouts before the move but getting in to see everyone elses proved excrusiating due to my slow wireless internet and then to catch up at the end when I had proper broadband - I'd be lost for days in all the layouts! So this month I'm only doing one challenge and trying to catch up on my support group - I feel terrible for not getting to know everyone at the start like I wanted to. The move went well though, I had one box with a message written on the top something like this: If this box gets broken then so do your arms!", because it had my scrapbooking stuff in it, plus my three fragile ribbon jars - well our friends that were looking after our boxes until our move, when realising that it was "just scrapping stuff" picked up my box and threw it onto the truck like rubbish!!! I am so upset and angry that friends would treat my things like that. Thankfully every thing is okay, just one of my jars has a slight chip in the lid that you can't see if it's turned around. They have never understood my scrapping and whenever they would see something I had created all I would get was "Oh you have way to much time on your hands!" Thankfully that time will have been well spent when I'm old and can't remember my life and they will have nothing because their memory has gone and so have their boxes of photos! Other than that my new home is starting to feel like mine due to the fact that I am painting like crazy to remove the brown paint that is in every room! Amber is on holiday with my mum for a couple of weeks, so I hope to repaint her room before she comes home. We've also installed 3 Split-Systems (aircon and heating), one hot water cylinder (the original was tiny), a new stove (it took 1 1/2 hours just to gets bubbles when boiling!) and I'm getting a new TV cabinet on Friday. It's been so busy offline!! Well I better keep moving, I still have tons to catch up on. Toodles!
