While there's silence...

Crazy just doesn't do it justice!


This week has been..... challenging! After having a backyard full of police and forensics and detectives early last week (the people renting the granny-flat behind me were doing a spot of cooking...) I made the (very easy!) decision to move the heck out of my house.


So - this week has been filled with mountains of paperwork! Thankfully the "finding a house" part was easy.. but then there was the application, the letters to get out of my lease here, the signing of the lease at the new place, the bond loan application and finally - the changing-over/redirection of LOTS of stuff!


Oh, and on top of this - filling out all the paperwork for Centrelink and Autism Queensland to get the ball rolling for funding etc for Miss B!


Add in the whole packing/moving drama and it's been a tad chaotic! (So chaotic, in fact - I completely forgot about B's daycare photos - conveniently planned for 2 days this week that she does NOT attend care! Thanks to the school mum who reminded me! Oh, and it looked like a great shot!)


So - in light of this - I've not had a lot much else to share (I see I posted last week about B being sick, but actually have no recollection of doing so. I never claimed to have a functioning brain though ;)


On the upshot - the new house is gorgeous (check out this kitchen!!)




2 more sleeps! Woohoo!!


Oh, and excuse me if I'm doing this wrong, but have bluffed my way through joining the IBOT fun ;)

  1. Congratulations on your move! Stressful but at least you found something quickly which is sometimes half the challenge. Hope the rest goes easily too.

    1. Thanks Yvette... Dodgy neighbours are the pits! Hoping the next lot are better (usually we ARE the bad neighbours, haha... I swear when the police pulled up, half the neighbourhood must have thought I'd finally snapped!)

  3. Your bluffing was exactly right! Thanks for joining!

    Firstly; that is one hilarious (in hindsight) story. Because you said granny flat, I of cours pictured some old lady cooking up meth.
    Secondly, that kitchen is AWESOME! I am beyond jealous, but very happy for you too! :)

    1. Oh I'm laughing... will be game enough to laugh a little louder once we're out though!

      (Interestingly, one of the occupants is kinda elderly... not OLD old, but old enough to be smart enough not to be cooking meth!)

      You're welcome to come test drive my kitchen any time you like. I'm generous like that :)
