Ikea Sunshine

Nat here.  So on Sunday afternoon is there anything better than whipping together a 23 page ikea wardrobe? I think not!  This was the start...look at all those tiny pieces in the bag!

This is the semi-finished product. I say semi as you can see the doors don't quite match-up but the husband was all ikea-d out and decided enough was enough.  He'll come back to it...never.

Meanwhile, how long do you think it will remain this neat?  I think we might need to add some colour to the husband's wardrobe stat!


Happy Monday!

More eating

Nat here.  We don't like a crowd so we headed to Bondi at 7am this morning to beat them!  I'm not convinced of all the hype, although this picture makes it look nice...


I've never seen so many posers in my life.  White Euro's? Really?!

We decided to splurge on a nice lunch at Garfish just around the corner.  The mahi mahi was delish...


As was the waffle with cookie dough ice-cream...


Hope you're out and about enjoying Sunday!  Have to run...we have a wardrobe to build.  Cue groans...

Eating, eating and gumtree sunshine

Nat here.  We're nearly at 5,000 views, shall we have a party? I think so.

Perhaps we should host it at Chiswick, Matt Moran's restaurant in Woollahra which was fabulous!  Matt was at our table...if we pushed a couple together.  It was great to catch up with G&T after their travels over shared lamb..


Have I shared our lovely gift that was sent from P & W? A little house warming, aren't they the sweetest? I'm whipping up those brownies today and I've already washed and ironed the gorgeous set of tea towels.  Does anyone else iron their tea towels? Or is it just me?


We have a few of our wares on Gumtree at the moment.  We put our outdoor setting on for $800 and someone offered us $200 - I told them where to jump. I've also put our dining table on, although in this picture it looks quite nice?  We think we are ready for real chairs now and benches might have had their day...


So out of about 6 items we've only sold one:( husband says we're not allowed to buy anything until they have sold.  So wise but so not fun.  J's being making me jealous with her trips to Ikea and the KAS factory outlet.  We really are terribly undercushioned...sorry FF.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! I remember our thanksgiving dinner in Cayman with Shaanie and Gem and the gang...such fun!

Singapore, Sydney and Shaanie's Nails

Hello! So sorry for the long delay, we finally have internet set-up at home.  Not after one walk-out of Telstra in a huff, but two.  But that's a story for another day!

I've been to Singapore to see Shaanie!  We had such a fab time, doing lots of girlie things, like having our nails done...


Shaanie was outrageous and went for a colour on her nails, she was very hesitant but as the photos show, she loved it in the end...


We had massages, went to the movies (Pitch Perfect was aca-awesome!) and did lots of shopping.  We also went to a fab French restaurant for dinner, L'Entrecote.  Shaanie's husband (world's best husband #2) even carried our bags.  Such a good egg!  


I had such a good time, and the ear infection on the flight which landed me in hospital didn't even dampen my high after spending the weekend with them!

The husband and I went to Coldplay at Allianz last night, it was aca-awesome...Chris did a little set right near us...


Today we have had the best Sunday EVA!  Soaking up Sydney, we started at Balmoral Beach for breakfast where I had the best corn fritters of my life and then had a few hours soaking up some Vitamin D which I'm clearly lacking at the moment....


I found a great store at Mosman called Mozi. I could have bought everything! I stopped at a tea-towel and a pink door stop, everyone needs one of those.


We finally came home to give the blog some love.  I'm sorry to our loyalists who have been missing the regular posts, particularly L!!


We're back! Shaanie is even going to do a post on a baby shower in Singapore which was ridiculously cute...hey Shaanie?!

Moving!


Nat here.  This will be us tomorrow - fingers crossed the teacups survived the journey!
