Not a lot

Happening to report, it's a tad boring here LOL..Went scrapping at LSS last night, bit quiet, i only did 2 layouts and 2 calendar pages, so much for trying to get a heap done!!

It's far to distracting at the shop, i scrap better at Tina's! and dont spend as much money there!!

I bought 4 more albums, BARGAIN $20 each, and perfect!! so have ordered some more!!

As we were leaving I noticed a Kaiser wooden dragon kit, Aaryn is studying dragons at school so thought perhaps i might buy it, but it was a tad expensive. SO, Barb struck a deal with me, she said I could have the castle kit (which was marked at $46) for half price if i bought the dragon. I ended up getting both kits for half price LOL and then i used my discount which bought the whole set down to $20.

Needless to say the boys were well impressed with their score this morning and we spent the afternoon, building and painting.

Then tonight, they've played with it all. i was impressed at how big it was!! It was funny listening to the boys talking while they painted. Aaryn asked me what colour were dragons, i said, Green i think, Cameron said they were black.

Aaryn looked at him and said " Mum should know, she used to have a dragon when she was a kid and she lived in Wales, all kids in Wales had dragons instead of dogs in the olden days, didn't you mum!".. Now this little bit of information came from my cousin 2 years ago when he was here on holiday and Aaryn has never forgotten. I could hardly keep a straight face! He is a bit gullible. I must think of a name for 'my pet dragon'

I took photo's of the building and painting, will share them tomorrow.

Hayley came over just before dinner and asked me if i would like to go out with her tonight, I looked at her with horror when she went on to say...Come play poker at the RSL...I told her i was too tired and would rather stay home and stick needles in my eyes that suffer at Poker! (i'm not good at it, when i bluff, people know i'm bluffing because i get the giggles and start to jiggle in my seat!)..Gary has gone with her, BUT he was very upset with me because i said i prefered needles in eyes! He demanded an explanation, so the easiest way was this.."Well, lets put it this way, How would you feel if i asked you to come scrapbooking with me??" Point taken!! as he left the house, he handed me a knitting needle ROFLMAO!!! stupid man...

I went back to Good Guys today..still no singing!! bought a new fax machine it's very high tech lol, it even prints photo's, what a clever phone!! naturally, it's in the office so i'm not allowed to play with it, but i will HEHEHE, the software that came with it looks pretty good i think i might have to 'do up some invoices' as an excuse to get on the office computer LOL.. We also got a set top box. WHAT FUN that was to set up (NOT)...but rest assured, i worked it all out and it works perfectly now!!

I love to shop LOL..i think i was born to do it..i even like grocery shopping..sad, but true!!

I took Gary out to look at the new dining suite, He was impressed that I found such a bargain.

Yesterday I also bought a new coffee table, when i got it home, OH DEAR, they had given me the wrong one, right style, only it was the bigger one (and much dearer lol), so, i got the table i wanted in the first place at the price i was willing to pay for it LOL...WELL it wasn't my fault, the men in the delivery dock were how should i put it.... a few cents short of a dollar?? lol, all they did was look at the name of the table, not the size..i guess, had it been the other way around i'd be complaining BUT i'm not LOL...so now i'm going back to get the matching entertainment unit!!! Then all my furniture shopping is finished *sigh*.... We'll have bought all our new furniture ready for the move to the new house later this year..then i'll have to start all over again LOL..

I'm having a garage sale soon, I have heaps of stuff to get rid off...2 x study bunks the boys needed them, so we bought them, then they didn't want them anymore so back to normal beds... i miss those bunks, such a great space saver and their roooms always looked clean.

I'm also selling ALL my christmas lights and toys etc. NO more house decorating for us..so if anyone want's any outside christmas decs you know where to go LOL..

ok..your eyes are probably bleeding now so I'll finish here and go and put all my layouts into their new albums..but first...i'll take a pic of the huge pile, stacked up on my NEW coffee table LOL..
