Time to check it out again…..

Its that time again……

We need to check out the Peel River….LOL….Today we are heading to Nundle…for our annual retreat to “Cottage On The Hill”….

It is a 4 hour drive for us, the Kuga is fuelled/the boys at work have given it a wash for me, treats are packed and so is the music (we might not need this, Dale and Kath may talk too much, LOL)……..we should arrive around lunch time….not sure what I might do this year, I have a couple of ideas….but I can easily change my mind!!!!…LOL…

The iPad is packed, so maybe a couple of posts will be made from Nundle…hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Happy Friday….take care…keep safe

On Friday….8 Narromine ladies are heading to Nundle for our annual “Cottage On The Hill” retreat….every year I say the same thing, and I must check with Kerry, ..how many years Dale and I have been going over and I am thinking it might be 12….have I finished all the projects….well, if you call a completed top, the answer is yes…..so that means I have one or two flimsies that I need to complete….big week ahead so today I am starting to get organised, as I am one of those painful people who likes to be, well, sort of, organised….

All my sewing goodies are ready…

Happy Sunday, take care, keep safe

Massive sigh at my end of my world……I HAVE DONE IT!!!!!!!……I have always worked full time plus, as well as doing a few BAS returns each quarter, well I have stopped those BAS returns, except for one that only takes a couple of hours, (family friend-very special)….it is like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders……no more being dropped things that are due in one day!!!!, no more chasing up what is this payment for!!!, no more taking time out of my holidays because someone dropped something in that was due yesterday!!!! no more thinking to myself, oh they haven’t had a good quarter, so I can’t charge them too much for the hours I have worked!!!!!!…..

thanks for listening…..LOL….

So I am going to have a giveaway to celebrate…

it will be something hand made by me……

if you would like to enter please make a comment and let me know what sort of work you do…and yes housewife/mother is a job………

this is what I did on Sunday after my FINAL BAS was done!!!!!!……

SEW……

good luck, hope you will join in my celebration…..
