All’s Well that Ends Well…
Nov 19th, 2008 by Jane Blogs
We’re finally settled in.
(Thank you so much to everyone who sent encouraging emails and so forth)
So much has happened, so I’ll just start back blogging by giving you a summary of what we’ve been up to since the 21st October, when I unplugged and went offline.
The removalists came and went almost three weeks ago, leaving a stack of boxes in the garage with half of their labels facing inwards or upside-down.
Finding a clean towel has never been such fun! ~Not.
WonderHubby drilled nicely-spaced holes and fitted the shelves I had cut at Bunnings for the broom closet, which will now be an extra pantry.
It’s his first handy-man job around the home, and I’m very proud of him, as he’s never had much confidence in his home improvement abilities.
The helpful people at Bunnings remained straight-faced at my inane questions, as I went on a pricing-spree for various items we will need in the future.
The fan-lights in the lounge and kitchen have been repaired after they gave out (under warranty, luckily).
Mr Bump made a “Best Fixer in the World” prize-ribbon for the electrician to wear, which he still sported as he drove off to his next job!
The plumber came on Monday and we now have a basic laundry in the back of the garage. – Remember, we only had a little space at the end of the kitchen for a front-loader, while our machine is a top-loader.
Vegie plants are growing in the vegie patch. Plus other precious seedlings are emerging in pots near the back door.
Mr Underfoot was quite happy to be transplanted and (I’m pleased to report) behaves very well indoors at night. He spent the first night on top of Mr Bump, with all four of us snuggled up on our mattress, on the floor of our bedroom.
However, unexpected events have occurred which I will relate to you at a later date.
Linen press, pantry and appliance cupboards have been filled and we are beginning to remember where we’ve put everything.
Phone and internet are connected and at last I am back in contact with the world.

Thanks peeps!
Linda ~ I think it was the being upside-down that confused the removalists re the boxes.
Lauren ~ He was a sweetheart, and one hell of a chatterbox, so he fit in here really well!
I heard his whole life story in the hour and a half he was here. Almost got invited to his wedding in June.
Welcome back and congratulations on your new home.

I only just realised when I came to the blog instead of looking in google reader that Mr Bump has had his surgery.
Hope he is recovering well.
Merry Christmas (kiss mess) Jane and to you family too.
