26 Things update

So we have 3 and a bit days to go, how is everyone going so far? I have seen a couple more pictures coming through this week.

I have now done 10 so far, only 16 to go. Here are more pics from this week…

Curved
My lunch, with the white balance accidentally left on the wrong setting on my phone..opps.

Strange/Weathered
Now, I am going to cheat and use this pic for 2 items..unless I find something better. It contains a weathered fence that is in desperate need of being replaced…we’ll get around to it one day. What concerns me is what the neighbours will attach to my expensive new colourbond fence when it goes up.
The strange element in all the tin. It seems every time you look out there, there is a new piece, the latest being the big bit attached to the palm trees. I am quite sure that it is not legal. It is getting up well over 10ft high now and its a bloody eye sore. OK so the original fence that is there isn’t much better…it’s..rustic

Inside
Checking out the inside of their new church reno.

Upside down

Now seem to be left with the hardest ones. Can see Tuesday being a mad panic of snapping. I must get them all, I fail at every other challenge LOL.

Home Sweet Home

cats, Christmas, gifts

Bah Humbug

I am not the most Christmasy person. I hate Christmas lights (makes my eyes twitch to see people have their displays up already o.O) I HATE all the snow at Christmas and well..pretty much everything else about Christmas…except the ham..Mmmm Christmas ham. Anyway…came across some Christmasy stuff just perfect for me.

Lolmart Bah humbug shirt, a wonderful alternative to the usual bright ugly red and green Christmas shirts with bloody snow on them! Will take great pleasure wearing this at Christmas (shame it is white tho, I may well have to throw it out afterwards)

Then we have these Christmas balls from Selfridges that will go perfectly on my cupcake tree.

Shopping

In the mail this week

I like to buy stuff…don’t we all. Online shopping oh how I <3 you.

Manpet says I may have a bit of a problem…pfft. Maybe that one time I tried to see how many days in a row I could get a parcel (I got a run of 7 days BTW) Waiting for parcels to arrive at work is the only reason I go

So thought I would show off some of the stuffs…weekly-ish

First item isn’t an online purchase..but exciting none the less. New phone! Have been eyeing off and waiting for the new HTC Desire HD since it was announced a few months ago. Was getting a bit over the iPhone 3GS, and the iPhone 4 just wasn’t an upgrade enough for me. The timing was perfect, with a noice payrise at work the day after they were released. How could he say no (after a tweet out, some emails of begging were also very helpful )

We have always had matching phones, took him a week, but he caved and upgraded his so we have matching phones again

Next is a new bag, purchased from Brands Exclusive. It’s from Melb designer b.sirius. Perfect size for work, cute design and it was a total bargain! Think I only ended up paying $30.

Then some totes delish body sprays. I have a thing for fruity and vanilla scents, can be hard to find these in commercial fragrances, and most make me sneeze me head off anyway. Rah recently bought me some Urban Rituelle for my birthday and it was heaven. But gone in a few weeks of over use, and none of the online shops stocked the collection I wanted (but have just discovered they have online shopping now, one moment while I make a purchase!) So I thought I would check out Etsy for some handmade options.

My fav is the Pink Cupcake body spray from SpaTherapy..love it!

Wonder what will be in the mail this week
