Sorry for the relative quiet the last few days. I was off work with yucky cold thing on Thursday and Friday. And of course I do all my home page updates from work (wouldn’t you?). Had an eventful weekend as we finally moved into the new abode. Jan, I and our intrepid assistants Jake, Anthony and Michel spent Friday night lugging rather weighty objects into trucks and back out again. Four green metal cabinets were the chief offenders – it took 4 people to lift them into the truck. However we did well and many thanks to all involved.

The house is now our home and we have settled in well – except for crap hot water cylinder and very chilly tiles of a morning. Still painting the front bedroom so we are sleeping in the living room at present. Ex is loving it for some reason and seems much happier than at Hugo St. The cats are in confinement for a week while they settle. Bootsy is so used to trauma now that he is completely adjusted but Tinsel still seems a little bit freaked! We put a deposit on a new kitchen as we just couldn’t live with the old one so that will hopefully be going in in six weeks or so. Also looking at getting gas put on and a new floor in the back half of the house. Anyway it will definitely be keeping us distracted until Little Jem arrives! Still it is a vast improvement on the old place, much more spacious.

The carpet is going down at Hugo Street today – apparently the carpet layer was a real dickhead though so we’ll have to see how it turns out. New doors are coming for there on Thursday and then we will be just about ready to rent the sucker out.

Marvel at the how much Geri Halliwell’s breasts have changed over the years:

I am still playing Junkbot, only 3 levels now on which I don’t have a gold award. Workmate Joel has mastered ALL the levels and is ranking around 17th in the world. Alas I am on about 118th, still it’s an achievement.

Latest position on Junkbot – Employee of the Year! Oh joy. Received for over 40 Gold Awards. I love this game. I really, really love it.

Painting is on track – got both the bedrooms undercoated yesterday with Jake’s help. And let me tell you, they come up bloody well! So at least the front half of the house will be decent. Had to postpone the kitchen person as poor Jan had to take one of her clients to hospital so ended up working from 6am to 10pm – not good for a heavily preggie girl!

Got quite a bit of scraping and filling done last night. Jake has kindly offered to do some painting today and the kitchen person is coming tonight to give us a design and quote. I am getting a little panicked now about baby stuff – cots! pushchairs! hospital bag! I guess we can do that next week. Let’s just hope Little Jem is not early! By the way we have a new top-of-the-list name – Bruno. Mmmm, I like it!

Am still hooked on the Lego Junkbot game. Here’s a wallpaper I made in tribute to it [LINK LOST!]. Be warned, it is 500k and you may need to resize it for screens smaller than 1280×1024.

We have been peering around the new house over the weekend. We are pretty happy with it! A bit of painting to do this week, some termite treatment and a new kitchen. But it is gonna be good. Hooray!

Got an email today from our darling niece Orgy aka Brenda. She was desperate to have her name dropped on this very popular page so here it is honey! (I will reply to your email today too, I promise) Send us a piccie of yourselves and I will put it up ;)

Thanks to Joe for this very addictive game! If you had Lego as a child, you’ll love this one…
