The girls room

Ok this is the girls room and the first two photos are of their ensuite (yes they have an ensuite lol) but all the kids use this (yes Ruth another dunny for the world to see lol). The next pic is their wardrobe and the main reason we chose this to be the girls room three hanging rows in the cupboard. Then the girls beds they are all huge rooms.

upstairs boys rooms

Ok the photo with the pc in it is up the top of the stairs and its M and the one that the kids would use when they are a bit older. Then we have the two younger boy's room and then the oldest boys' room.

The stairway to the kidszone

Ok the first photo should be the one of the storage area this is under the staircase and the one of the vacuum is to try show you all how the area goes all under the stairs its a great storage area. The picture of the wall with the photos and the window is as you first start up the stairs, then the nest one iswith the couple of pics to the left hand side of the photo, then the last one is as you reach the top of the stairs and the room in front of you is the girls room, the towel hanging on the right hand side is Darrens room and the other boys room is right next to darrens on the left hand side.To the left hand side at the top of the stairs takes you into the kids lounge room.

Ok here we have the down stairs lounge room and I think it used to be formal dining area but with the carpet on the floor its not going to be that now I usually use the area nere the pc to fold the clothes on the floor lol.Ok the pic with the stairs on the left hand side of the photo is as you come in the front door and the sliding door you see goes outside to a little paved area (we are going to get one of those cast iron outdoor settings for two so in summer time we can sit out there and relax of an evening). The other photo of the lounge area has the front window so you can see that we can see out the front when sitting in the lounge room.The other photo is taken from in front of the tele and the view looking back and those cupboards are great for storing stuff and also where I had my growing ironing pile and after taking this photo had to do it all as I felt terrible that I had so much there lol. The last photo of the pc is on your right hand side as you walk into the front door and the room you can see is the entrance into the main bedroom

the bathroom part two

Here is the shower that is in the bathroom downstairs and as you can see from on e of the photos with the reflection the bath is opposite it and its too the left as you walk into the bathroom. M wants to move the shower head up higher because he has to crouch down when hes in there lol (poor darling) But its great to keep clean no tiles with grout lol

the bathroom part one

I love this room it would have to be my favorite and there is nothing better then having a spabath after a hectic day and looking up and seeing the stars and the moon. The photo of the bath and window is the view as you enter the bathroom, the vanity unit is to your right and there is heaps of storage room as the mirror has a cupboard behind it. The view outside the window is of our back yard and next doors house is over 5 metres to the right so there is no chance of them seeing anyone in the bathroom unless they are out their back yard playing lol. The bathtub is great though as I can actually lay down in it and not have my feet hanging over the top lol.

the laundry

Here we have the laundry and the first photo is of my new washing machine 8 kg its huge and does a great job lol and our new laundry sink as the other one was a twin and the washing mashine didnt fit, the door way next to the laundry sink is to the downstairs toilet which is pictured and the last picture is of the linen closet, the feezer and the dryer and the door which you can just see on the right hand side is the back door to out the back yard.

The Pantry

here is the last photo from the kitchen it is the pantry which I though would not be big enough for us all but seems to be doing the job so far

The kitchen

here we have the kitchen now the order they go in are as follows....it starts with the photo of the cooktop which is electric and to the left of the cooktop is where the oven is and its on the wall and also electric and the door folds down and then pushes in so it create more space, then is the photo fo my cool canisters and kettle ( I think of tyes cow obsession everytime I use them lol), then we have the sink shot and I can see the kids playing in the back yard when I do the dishes which is great, then to the right of the sink which has the microwave in it and I just took all those hooks out as we dont use them all the coffee cups are in the cupboard above the kettle, and then last we have the fridge there is a pantry next to the fridge which I am going to have to put on a new blog as I can only fit 5 photos at a time. I have cupboards above the benches and below so lots of space to store stuff

Entrance and part of kitchen

Okey Dokes the first pic in this blog is the front door from the outside, the next one is the view to your left and it is the kitchen and the door into the laundry. The next photo is the dining room and the door into the bathroom and the staircase to upstairs, then we have the kitchen and dont worry I have photos of all of the kitchen coming then we have the hooks where the kids all hang their school bags daily lol the is right next to the front door on the left hand side just before the kitchen you can see a bit of the kitchen bench to the right of the picture :)

Okay we have done the main bedroom...............

In these pics we have the outdoor area that you walk through to get into the house. Ok they havent gone onto my blog in order but I will try to explain them as best I can.
The pic with the garden on the left of the photo and the bikes is your first photo and is when you get out of the car and get under the cover (we are going to be taking all of the garden out though eventually to make more room and try stop the mozzies), then the photo of the bikes on the left hand side of the photo is the view as you come around the corner near the garden area, the next photo in the squence is the one with the dog kennels on the left hand side of the photo with the out door setting in the middle of the pic the sliding door on the right of the pic is the door into our room then the shoes on the floor after them is the front door and where the sun is shining through at the end of the photo is going out to the back yard, then the photo of all the wood up the end is a wood bbq which is completely rusted out but M is going to rig something up and have it that we can have a fire going out there in winter for entertaining, and finally the view from standing in front of the wood looking back the way we came. There is more of these photos to come but I could only load 5 photos without making them smaller as I want it to be easy for everyone to see them.

Here we go finally some well awaited photos of the new house. I am starting with the main bedroom. The first photo is the view from the bedroom door looking in that is our mosquito net hanging from the roof but I have to lower it when it gets closer to summer when the mozzies are around as the roof is too high lol , the next one is taken from next to the chest of drawers in the bottom photo and its the built in robes its the whole wall from floor to ceiling bloody useless up the top thoughy as its too highg to just get into when you need something lol , the next photo is the view from our bedroom window and that is T and C outside playing before school the cars could go under cover but M is going to build a carport out the front of there and keep that as undercover area for the kids to play in, then the last photo is taken from the end of the bed and is the sliding dooor into our room which is going to be invaluable come summer time hopefully will get some sort of breeze going through it. So it begins I will post some photos every few days so you can see them if I took them all now and then put them all on it would be the way too long to sit and quickly read lol. Bye

Oh the joy of it all..................
I have just got back from the doctors and J has Chicken Pox and 4 others havent had it so here comes an interesting next two months. Although J is the one child I could have home at all times as you never know shes here she just does her own thing most of the times telling me when shes hungry or thirsty though lol.
We had a great weekend went out for dinner on friday night on our own lol yes someone offered to look after 6 children lol, we went to the royal hotel for dinner and the meal was absolutely delicious. Then we all went out for dinner on saturday night with M's family( his brother and wife and their two boys and his parents) and the best part was there is a shuttle bus that picks you up from your front door and drops you home it was fantastic and the meals were decently priced and cooked to perfection. They have a compitition there which I think little brother would win everytime at lol they had a 1kg t-bone steak and dessert if you clean you plate of food then you get a free t-shirt lol. M and his brother and his dad all did it his brother struggled though and I thought of my little brother and thought he could probably eat two lol.
Well better go get some washing done and a bit of tidying up
Love to you all that drop in

I Figure a quick Blog is better than no blog at all.......
lol Just thought I'd let you all know I finally found the digital camera so stay tuned for photos of the new house soon. Also photos of the surrounding areas lol
Love Y'all

Well I have finally got time to sit and blog
It hasnt taken too long but I am finally back online again its amazing how you find other things to do when you dont have the internet to sit and surf on lol.
I am loving my new life and now wondering how I ever lived in victoria lol. Its soo good being in a small community but still having the luxury of the shopping only 27 klms away, the kids have settled in so well and making friends not been asked to have friends over yet but sure it will come. The kids are out riding their push bikes every day and its great that I dont have to worry about them riding around out the front of the house we are the second to last house in the street so not much traffic comes this way at all only 7 houses in the whole street.I think we are all on at least half an acre each also. I still have to lock snoodle up every time we go out as she chases my car down the street and doesnt give up just keeps chasing me lol I end up laughing at her little legs going so fast and turn around and lock her up lol.
The kids all get along so well P loves having a big brother to copy and chase after all day long lol, D is still not used to it though lol, he'll get used to it eventually.
I also had the best mothers day I have ever had since I've been a mother.
It started off by the kids all coming in and giving me their gifts that they all bought me, then getting up and M making brekky bacon and eggs for everyone ( except me dont like bacon just eggs for me lol), then the kids cleaned up the mess and then went outside and played around and then M asked me to marry him and gave me a gorgeous engagement ring and I said yes. Then we went to a park not far from us on the water and the boys fished all day and the girls played but I didnt have to chase one child all day M did it all and I sat there and watched them all and had a drink.
M said to me that night that he was absolutely buggered worse than when he goes to work and I said "Well now you know how I feel" lmao.
We all had a great time though which was fantastic.

Lets have some fun lol

Ok everyone I have created a funquiz and all you have to do is play its fun so give it a go have fun ladies heres the url just add it to your favorites
Good luck

What wonderful friends I have
Thankyou to all my friends and their kind wishes about me moving on. I had the most fun ever last night out at dinner with my great friends. Ruth never seems to amaze me how calm she can remain in a time most of us would loose the plot.Thankyou Ruth for making me laugh harder than I have in a long long time.
My fabulous sister in law also picked me up and took me home which I totally appreciate and thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with yesterday.
Ruth gave K a new beanie made out of snowy rushworth which I will let her post a photo on her blog though as advertising for her. I will miss everyone but know that I will be able to catch up with everyone through the technology of the internet. So don't stress you cant loose me that easily lol.
I have packed almost everything but I think I need to wait till the kids are back at school, too hard to do with them running around.

Not long to go now
Its actually quite amazing how you think that time is just dragging on and yet when I look at it, I only have 3 weeks till I go. I cant wait till I move though then when I do a new posting it may be more interesting than this one lol.
I am slowly getting the packing done but it is hard to know what to pack and what to leave out for another three weeks because what will we need??? I have done all the tops of the wardrobes and managed to throw a heap of things away, but I am also finding things that I should have thrown away years ago like my drivers test lol( yes sil I can hoard things lol).
I cant believe how much one person can accumulate over such a short time on her own though. I have far too may shoes and shoes from years ago I look at and think hmmm can I give them to Sil or should I throw them in the salvo bin???
This post really is a bit of a waffle but Sil tells me I should still post between packing which I should be doing lol.
I better go do some more. C has three friends coming after school today so I wont be able to do much later and P wants me to go to school at 2 as they are doing "scoobies" ( plastic bracelet thingies lol ). So if I don't do some now I wont get a chance.
Till later.......................................

Whats been happening with me
Well I would hate for Ruth to go more mental as she has stated lol. I went to mums for 5 days for a "holiday" as mum put it and believe me it didnt feel like a holiday but then when I got home I realised just how little I actually did over there lol.
It was great to catch up with the friends I did catch up with and see how big all the kids are gettting.
I'm very excited with my life ahead of me and what it could hold going to Gloucester in two more sleeps and then if things work out will be moving to Northern NSW in about 6-8 weeks, M has bought a house across from the river which is fantastic here are a few snaps of the house and the river for fishing and there is apparently a swimming hole just up the road. Well when we get back I will post about our trip and let you know how we went. Love ya all
