Ohh I love the house, but its not a house its a HOME.. it was built in 1893. It has gently polished floors. Two huge bedrooms, two smaller rooms and a small cosy lounge.

A good size kitchen with heaps of bench space to bake in and the laundry and bathroom at the back.

Theres grapes, Lemon, grapefruit, peaches, plum and apple trees.. Take that David.. I wont need yours lol.

Dianne came with me. And it has the feel of a home. There's hooks, and shelves in all the right places. Plenty of locks. A peephole..

No dishwasher, ensuite or dishwasher and Ive learnt they really dont care. Lol.

I dont have to worry about the huge lawns. They are included.  It has a nice front porch with the coloured windows and some with butterflies on the end. And a raisable wrack for washing.

I will need to get a chair for out the front BUT I have an old timber rocking chair that MrP repainted for me.. It currently houses my Peggy square blanket and toys. It could go out there. And Ill have my little piano stool out there for parcels so it will work for my drinks.

I like the separate lounge. It even has  a wee built in desk that will hold the tv most likely.

AND I phoned Winz. After everything is paid for Ill have triple the food and gas money than I do now.. That floored me.. I didn't think I would be any better off.

Wish I could twitch my nose and be there now lol. 

As the crow flies its probably no more than 500 meters away from where I am now.

How I will sleep tonight I have no idea lol.. Thank goodness I have pills.

Im soo blimmin Happy.. lol

Managed to get a park right by the gate. Yay. 

They had the white elephant in the hall, school tents around the quad and then market sights on the field. Everything from WOOL  nope I didn't get anything, to Crystals,, Very tempted,  to guitars and Ukeleles. Food all over the place.

Into the Hall I went.  There in front of me was what could have been but wasn't a tea trolley. Nice timber , on wheels. but a big split down the length.. Glue and cramps should work. And it has a drawer and drop sides. Absolutely perfect for the new kitchen. And something Di and I were talking about last night. $20  Man I grabbed it and got the lady on the exit to hold it for me while I shopped.

I found the perfect piece of fabric to patch the split on the divider in the chairs Di gave me.  Only one Dessert cookbook. A dancing Christmas tree cos it worked. MrP would have loved it. But I like its twirly top and bell and red nose. And something I will be looking up some Royal Dalton crystal Coasters , boxed from Austria.  And a cushion Inner that actually fills the big cushion cover I got from the oppy but was too big for the inner I had.

I spent $40 in total and I Know I did well. Bumped into Dianne and Paul and watched Nova do the Kapa haka.

And a Lady helped me get the table out to and into the car too.

Lilith I am soo pleased there is fruit trees. Ill give the feijoas away. But make use of everything else. We think the peach is a Golden Queen. There was only a couple of old rotting ones on the ground so Ill have to wait till next summer to know if they are freestone etc. Not that that will worry me lol.

Now Im going to have a nosey and see if I can find anything out about these coasters. They are Rather pretty.



I honestly am close to exploding of happiness..
