Big projects this weekend. First off we had to jetwash the patio. Well Mia had to, cos she likes doing it, even though it makes her cold and wet. But that meant we had to shop for a new jetwash machine. Our old one was a cheap model and after a few uses developed a leak in the pressure nozzle which meant that the water came squirting out sideways. So we had to do that.

In order to do that we had to move the old washing machine which is in our garden, so I brought home a sturdy sack truck from work and shifted it into a more convenient corner. Then we bought the jetwash. The Karcher ones are the best and their cheapest one looked the best for the price, and it was good too. Real sturdy and workmanlike. But then Karcher just kinda make jetwashers for a living so it has to be good.

Next up was the toilet seat. Our wooden one in the upstairs loo was a little broken. Looks kinda grubby as well no matter how many times you clean it so we bought a new one, in a colour which matches the other wooden stuff in the room.

We also bought two bins for washing which replace a three pocket washing frame we've had for years. Just having those two new bins in the utility room gives it a lift, makes it look more organised. Same for the bathroom. New toilet seat at the centre makes the whole room look better. Anyway these bins are real hi-tech new Curver bins and they rock. They are white and grey rather than the cream colour here, but you get the idea. Is it wrong to be so pleased with a laundry bin? Tsk, huh? The life I lead, eh...

Plus I bought a small plastic three way drawer for under my desk. I occured to me the other day I have NO storage space for my stuff and I got a LOT of stuff. So I got this little three drawer filing system thingie from Homebase where we got the jetwash and the bins. It's kinda cool. (Couldn't find a picture of the actual one but it's kinda like this...

Plus I hoovered (long overdue and with three fluffy animals in the house essential) and Mia cleaned and shined. Plus we reorganised my desk. Now I don't own a desktop PC my computer desk is really not desktop computer oriented anymore. I have a laptop, and so we took everything off it, put the stuff in the drawers, and cleared the top so I can put my Powerbook on the desk and hook up the mouse, Skype phone, external drive and music interface and external monitor. Now I have a place to work again and it's kinda cool. I really appreciate Mia's help in putting it together but I was too tired to show any appreciation at the time. The moment's passed, but if you're reading this, THANKS BABY!!!

As I wrote this I'm not sure if all this took place on Saturday... maybe we did some of this Sunday. Either way I was pooped.

Fell asleep watching "House" season 2 again. Really good show. Hugh Laurie has never been as good as he is in this show.I hope he's earning a bundle from it.
