Power drills and winter coats

Yeah I know a really strange title for this post hey?

But I came to the conclusion that sometimes a girl just needs to go get herself some power tools and this weekend was apparently it... and thankfully a very helpful chap at Bunnings was there to help me... He asked me a whole pile of questions and then suggested one and helped me find the bits I needed for it too... even showed me how to use the thing properly... super helpful!

So there it is the start to my very own power tool collection...

And since winter is here and its not been all that warm and certainly not all that dry... I decided I needed a winter coat and thankfully Ezybuy is having a huge sale... I managed to pick up a gorgeous woolen coat that I actually like for half off... gotta love the early sales as a result of all this flamin' shaking we have been enduring...

And just to add some pretties here... some semi recent pages of mine...

I have tried…

for weeks now to figure out how to say this… obviously unsuccessfully so I have come to the conclusion that I just need to spit it out without stressing over how to say it…

NO I am NOT pregnant, No I am NOT moving, No I do NOT have some fantastic job offer where I get paid spit loads of money for a few hours work… though if anyone knows of a job like this send them my way will you?!?!?!

I am however now the very proud owner of a mortgage, insurance bills, phone bills, power bills, car bills and a whole heap of other things typically ending with BILL!

And the big thing about it is that I am doing this solo…

Chris and I separated in May… needless to say May was a very busy month for me sorting out all of the above and simply getting through each day… June is turning out to be a slightly better month for me… and so I am hoping that each month leads onwards and upwards with only better things coming my way…

Chris has purchased a house in Southbridge… has regular time with the girls… who are enjoying having two houses… two bedrooms etc…

Oh and along the way I have learned that I am more than capable of doing some of doing things that I never thought I would… oh and my darling Daddy even sent me a parcel full of old hand tools so that I can actually do some of these jobs that need doing… so spare a thought for me wielding these tools... half of which I am just learning how they really should be used! NO more kitchen knives being used as screw drivers etc...
