Had plumbers out today. We've been having some ongoing issues with our bathroom not draining too well and have had to clear the pipes every couple of months ourselves. Thought we should get the plumber out and get it done properly. They put the hydrojet blaster thing through. That cost nearly $400. It improved things significantly but they think that the old terracotta pipes under the back verandah are probably damaged, so they 'll be back on Friday with a special camera thing. That costs another $350. Then we'll probably have to dig up the concrete out the back and get new pipes laid. That will cost many $$$ I'm sure!!!
Why did we buy a house again? Gah!

Sit. rep. - April.
Ok, so it's been a few months. Now it's holidays again and I have time! I can't believe how busy this term has been. Getting a puppy didn't really buy me any extra free time either! I did manage to make a little coat for her a couple of weeks ago, but she's grown so much I think it won't fit her now! This photo was just after I'd made it.
We've gone to 2 puppy pre-school sessions so far and she's doing ok. Definitely the smallest dog in the class, but plenty of attitude to make up for lack of size!
Progress report at the 1/4 mark:
Weight loss - 3kg down on the start of the year, so that's something. Just joined WeightWatchers again, so hoping that will hasten progress.
Gym attendance - not so good. Carrying an injury (hip strain) and lacking motivation. Need to get onto this one. Paying the membership but not going. Hmmm. At least I'm still seeingthe trainer, but she goes interstate indefinitely in a couple of weeks and I'll be on my own. Gotta move it to lose it!
Counselling course - no progress yet. Plan to get onto this next week. Will have time, and will donate some time to it!
Craft projects - Made the dog coat. Not much else as yet. Many quilts waiting in the wings.
Cooking - got a bit more inspiration most of the time. Made a yummy gluten free cake recently that went to work for a colleague's birthday - first go with gluten free flour and it was not bad. Hoping to make some healthy wholemeal banana bread today.
Also, have decided that I want one of these:
And that darling husband will make it. I'll decorate it. ;-)
