Im late to the party! Nothing much new about that! I watched the movie this afternoon- loved it! I had seen it before but not for years. Thanks jampss for choosing it as its not one I would usually pick myself. I also picked up a layby. Made a list of the things I want for the next layby...

Im doing pretty well. I raided my stash to pad out Luke's Birthday gifts. But I still have heaps left. I have added him a long handled coffee spoon- he drives me crazy trying to suck up the last bits of a milkshake through a straw so this way he can use the spoon- long handle means it fits to...

Yep white kitchen are fantastic! I say with just a hint of sarcasm. Just add to Dobermans into the mix and although they are low shedders they still drop hairs and rub against the cabinets! White also gets yellowish with the everyday use of a kitchen especially when cooking. Would I do it again...

Katrina, Im not sure if the beads would fall off. I have no idea what type of adhesive they use to make the canvas style base but it sure is strong! As mine is a gift to Luke- I checked Ikea before I ordered- most come in a wide range of sizes so I made sure I ordered one that would fit a...

Im just about halfway through with the Donald Duck diamond painting. Its turning out pretty well. Im thinking of ordering another one with a different picture for when Im finished. There are literally thousands to choose from but I have no idea what I want! I guess when I see the right one- I...

Im doing pretty well too. But Im just about to raid my gift supply. I buy as I see, put it away then raid it as needed for birthdays etc.... Lukes birthday is coming up so off to the gift shop in my house I go.....

We dont do gifts- just chocolate eggs or bunnies or a mix of both. We will do seafood on Friday. Not sure yet about Sunday- being Luke's birthday we usually eat out BUT on busy days like Easter- we find the food and service is often rushed and not as good as usual. Lots of places tend to have...

Yes and it is also Luke's 13th Birthday. He tells me he has his instagram post already planned out- opening Birthday gifts eating Easter chocolate!

I blinked and missed it. Rudi Day for me did not happen BUT I have been diligently working on lots of Christmas bits through the month. I have got the movie sorted to watch this weekend.

Im back... I have started a new crafty thing. Its called diamond painting. Seems to be very popular it the moment. Its basically sticking tiny beads onto a pre-designed pattern kind of like a cross stitch. Its easy to do but can get a bit fiddly. The small beads are shimmery and they kind of...

Also my main hobby. I love going into December knowing that its all done- (unless you count the fresh food shop) or the gift that Luke is sure to request that is never available til December 20th! I find that the pressure is off to get things done and I just get to relax and enjoy. I do love...

Luke had a steak- AGAIN. I like steak but not every night like Luke does- I had a tuna salad.

Our Easter is pretty simple here- just Chocolate Eggs and Bunnies! And seafood plus usually a roast. Never done an Easter basket! Sshh Don't tell Luke! He does not miss what he has never had! It is also his Birthday around this time every year and we also have our Sydney Show at Easter time so...

I always plan ahead but am really ramping up the efforts this year. I really, really want to be finished much earlier this year especially with gift buying. So far Im doing really well with stuffer type items. I have started lists for other things too- food etc.... I tend to plan lots then...

Luke is showing an interest in cooking... so I picked him up his own chef's knife and cutting board today. Not expensive ones but its a start.

Im waiting on several stocking filler items from ebay.... Im trying to really get ahead of the game this year.... (more so than usual). Luke has very helpfully requested a portable hard drive and a Google home mini for his room for his birthday so that helps with ideas.

I shop all year round but our sales after the event don't seem to last very long.... Maybe its our weather and time of year. Christmas stuff is packed away really fast to enable stores to move to Back To School and Australia Day, this rolls straight into Valentines Day, then really fast to...

With the Santa photo I have found it is all in the approach you take. Luke is almost 13 and is still happy to have one done every year. It is just part of a day out that we have every year. We use the day to go into the city to check out the window displays of the major stores, look through...

No decorations here. It's just not something we have ever done. I did get Luke a new pool float- a giant pineapple. Pool floats are currently very popular here. I also will get him some chocolate and a card.

Im not sure. Easter Sunday happens to be Luke's 13th Birthday. We will do our usual seafood feast on the Friday.
