Hi All
Well another flat out week at the Parkys place. As some of you know my Mum a pensioner has been on the WA State housing for over 55's for 2 years now. Well whilst Steve and I were in QLD she was offered a place. We were quite concerned when she told us where, as the suburb hasnt got the nicest wrap. But the street is nice and the units are ground floor and didnt look to bad from outside....... OMG what was I thinking. It was disgusting inside, so for the past week and a bit we have been scrubbing and cleaning and getting ready to move her tomorrow......
But it is amazing what a little bit of elbow grease a few new clean white blinds and some curtains can do..... It will be quite sweet and she will get it all prettyied up when she gets in there. So thats kept me very busy since being back. So each night we have gone to her little flat and packed up bits for her. The landlord is being a right a.......hole as well. She is nearly 70 and he speaks to her like crap........ Had to bite my tongue. Anyhow. She will be saving nearly $150 a week in rent as she rents privately up until today......
So the big move is tomorrow and then out for dinner tomorrow night as it was my nephews 20th birthday this week. Then collapsing on Sunday due to all of this stuff. before going back to work on Monday. Least it isnt going to be raining so thats great news.
During the week also Mish, got me onto this new site called Scrap the Pets, and guess what Tracy was kind enough to put my 2 layouts on there..... SO there you go I was thrilled to see them on there.

Sounds like you've been cleaning your fingers down to the bone, but at least your mum will have a nice clean unit to move into.
Congrats on getting your pets LOs 'published'.
Sounds like you have been just busy enough ... your Mum will thank you for it tho.
Don't forget to take time out for yourself as well.
Take care.
