"Daddy's crying"


I was driving the girls home yesterday when our two year old asked me if Daddy was home. I said he would be home at dinner time. Then I added "He's very worried about some things so you'll need to be gentle with him. How about when he gets home you give him a pat and say "it's OK Daddy".

To which our daughter replied "Daddy's crying Mummy".

I responded that Daddy doesn't really cry, but if he did then he would be crying today!

We've had one or two issues with the new windows which have all been delivered now (although at least they look great and the service person has already been out to assess, they're just waiting on metal for replacement parts and the front doors which apparently is a couple of weeks away).

We also had some delays on the plastering in the bathroom which means it can't be waterproofed til later which means it can't be finished before we move in. Which is in less than two weeks!

On a positive note, most of the scaffolding was able to be removed today - yay! That stuff is expensive.

 There must be someone out there who wishes to score a really cool home theatre system, worth a couple thousand, and has something equally cool to swap for it... Please get in touch!:

Thank you and blessings!

One small step to stop the world turning to custard

At a social gathering someone was having a whinge about various conspiracy theory governmental issues turning the world to custard. It wore me down over about an hour or so and I finally asked "well what's the answer to this problem, you're clearly upset about it, what are you going to do about it?" The person most likely had no idea, and they turned the question on me. So I replied that I thought permaculture was the answer. And they agreed and that was the end of the conversation, and the whinge. Thank God almighty! Natural and pure is definitely a big trend in food circles these days. Having run a food manufacturing business myself, I'm very aware of what the bigger companies get away with when it comes to food additives. It made me realise the only thing that's 100% trustworthy is food you've grown yourself. Then I stumbled across "permaculture" and completed a certificate in permaculture design. Essentially this word refers to harness...

A little encouragement for first home buyers

I thought our interview with Mike Hosking was going to have a bit more about encouraging others to think creatively to get into their first house. Understandably though there was not really much time to fit in everything that was going on. So I thought I'd add a post about how we got into our first house despite it being the hardest time ever to get into a house (which it is every year!) Josh and I were both students and we shared a house with 2 other flatmates. For a year we both received the student loan payments (of around $140 per week) but we didn't spend any of it because we worked jobs while students. When I got my first corporate job after graduating, we bought the above house in a suburb of Auckland near my workplace. Even though banks were lending close to 100% at the time, it was at the height of the property boom near the end of 2006 when prices were through the roof. We bought this 3 bedroom house with a musty smelling rumpus and a separate one bedroom minor...
