the kitchen tiles coming up (the old tiles are the brown ones)

Will take some pics of what the floor looks like now..in the next few days and upload them..

Finally got all our wedding photos that I've been scanning and altering off the hard drive and onto disc...hooray...now to get some printed and scrap them.

Went out for a coffee earlier with a friend ...she bought the coffee and a cup cake for me...the icing is sooo thick I think it will take me all day to eat it...I'm not an icing person..

Going out for tea tonight with a group of friends...2 of them are having b'days tomorrow as well.

what cheeses me off and stuff

OK so what really cheeses me off is people that DON'T indicate when turning or changing lanes....aarrrgh!!!...especially when they are going through a round about......like you are on the opposite side of the round about to them...they are not indicating...so you think they are going straight....but nooooo when they get to the middle of the round about they either then start to indicate or just freaking turn in front of you... why are people sooooo ignorant...or is it that they are so god damn special they don't need to indicate??

I think I'm in a bit of a mood today...lol

Yesterday Marks family came over for Erics birthday...he's now got a wad of cash but he's not too sure what he want's...to spend it on..he's wanting the new Mario game ..but it's not due to be released for a week or so...he's also wanting another guitar to go with guitar hero...which he's been playing non stop since he got it.. I had a turn at it ...I think I got about 3 chords right and got booed off stage...lol

Nothing much on this week... the boys have today off for report writing day, got a few phone calls to make regarding a course I"m doing and tickets to Mark Seymour gig, and got the family coming on Saturday to see me for my b'day.

thirteen

Today my boy turns 13 !! happy birthday Ric.... who is now wanting to spell his name like this Erykk (insert me rolling my eyes)

Haven't blogged in awhile... nothing much to write...been sick with the flu, Marks been busy tiling the kitchen, dining room and entrance hall...and it's looking great.. will put some before and after shots up soon.

Lots to do ..better go..

nothing much and movies to watch

Was looking at these on Ngaires blog... love the shining and titanic have a look at the others while your there ...there's a cool Monty Python lego one too.

The tiling is coming along nicely... and the archways are now squared off...but still need plastering.. and then the rest of the tiles can be done.

Haven't been doing a lot... been looking at lists of movies to watch and books to read before I die...lol....I have a two lists of books...and figure if I can read half of them...thats ok...and the movies should be interesting to watch I spose..
