Well hello, welcome back to my small and humble part of the world!
Thankyou for entertaining me with your blogs over the New Year, it was like sitting back and relaxing with a cup of tea and a new magazine!
The title of this post says it all with a New year comes new jobs around the home! Maybe the term 'loose ends' doesnt quite describe the jobs at hand, they're more like fraying around the edges.
So many little things to be finished and fixed around here, and as quick as one is done, there are many more.
If you have read my blog over the last couple of months, you would know we have been having a run of bad luck, the jetski burnt to the ground, the washing machine broke down, the roof on the verandah leaks (only when it pours!), etc, etc!
Well, I thought I would take advantage of the little time my son has before he starts Tafe, and so I volunteered him, and his skills, to help around the house, fixing, finishing, sealing, and some general maintenance to get on top of things!
Check out the cute gloves!
Today we cleaned the gutters, fixed the leak, cut back some trees, and mowed the lawn.
Tomorrow, we will replace these doors to hide this mess....(another project for another day)!
And then there is the room swap(previous post) we are attempting in the next couple of weeks, but I will get to that soon!
Mmmm, mother and son bonding time ahead, lol!!
Here's a picture of my next redo to sell...or maybe keep!

So when do I find time to put on the paint clothes and earn a living?
Soon I hope!
