You wouldn’t believed it.. but we got our summer curtains up.. after 3.5 yrs in our somewhat new home. What an achievement..!! first the bedroom.. and now the living room.. !! woohoo..!!! at least Mr Procrastinator.. didn’t get a chance to procrastinate this time.. because it was I .. who did all the buying.. and sending it to the tailor..!!! so you see.. if you want something done.. do it yourself.. !!
Finally, We GOT Curtains
After moving into our own home for almost 3.5yrs, we finally got our curtains up in our bedroom like last week. We had bought the curtain the curtains last year at Wicker’s Emporium .. in December.. and only got around to bringing it to the tailor to have it hemmed up .. like 2 weeks ago. You see what procrastinators we are right..?? Yes.. December .. and only in March.. we got our curtains up. So if you want anything done by the man.. you know .. you cannot expect anything immediately ya. The JOYs of running your own businesses.

The Living Room
Our living room did not come with any light fixtures, all we are using now are one standing lamp.. and another table lamp. You can imagine .. how dark it is.. even with a 60watt bulb. Plus the man.. doesn’t like to have lights on while watching tv.. but you see i eat while watching the tv, so i need enough lights.. we are so different.
Our Basement
When we first bought this house of ours, our main intention was to leave the upstairs to me.. while the downstairs is to be turned and renovated into a recreation room for the man. Given that we spend so much time together.. since we own our own business, it was a very good idea then. To complete that recreation room, some home theater chairs is a definite must to go with our 52″ TV .. that we already owned. So it’s time to do some serious savings now.
Sleeping Well
As a mother, we all know how important a good night’s rest is to us. We don’t spend alot of time in bed anymore, those days are over. Therefore, for parents like us.. a good platform beds is recommended, for not only is it affordable, you will get to sleep fast naturally.
Window Film
Window film has come a long way from the plain old frosted look used for privacy purposes. Now you can get decorative window film, perfect for either day or night privacy without sacrificing natural light. Whether you need it for your bathroom or basement at home, or even glass partitions in your office, Remlor has designs both basic and complex to suit each individual need at affordable prices. Now you can even buy them online. They’re awesome, convenient and provide great value for your money.
The Rec Room
I’m pretty sure that by now, you know how much I want a recreation room at the basement for PB. When we first moved into this house 3 yrs ago, that was what we had agreed on. The basement would be for the man.. and the upstairs is for me to take care of.. and to decorate as I pleased. We already have a 52″ TV .. so all we are lack of is home theater sconces. I know they are not cheap.. but if you look out for their sale, we might just get some really soon.
Central Heating With Peace Of Mind
A few days ago, I wrote about gas central heating, and little did I know .. that a few days later, I could not have wished more that I had central gas heating at our store, because we ran out of oil.. and OILMAN was at a funeral and was not able to make it back in town till 5pm. Yes.. it sure turned cold really quick too. With oil heating, one sometimes cannot gauge when the oil will run us like us.
Life can be made so much easier if you are guaranteed peace of mind, especially in the safety of your loved ones and family. Worried as I was, because my kid comes into the store with us during office hours, so it is her that I fear cannot take the cold. Central heating installation is definitely the way to go for us, because you know you can trust Northern Gas to NOT run out of gas. This company not only strives to go beyond and above the call of duty when it comes to customer’s satisfaction, they also know that winter months are hard and therefore offers lots of incentives and interest free 12 month for your gas needs.
Boiler service comes not only with installation service but a 5 yrs service plan that you only have to pay for 4. For a low price, your boiler gets checked annually, to prolong its life and making sure that you get your hot bathes whenever you want. Using one of the world’s cleanest fossil fuel, you save substantially every year. Ask about their free portable carbon monoxide sensors, that as far as I know, only Northern Gas offers to their customer/s free of charge. Staying safe and keeping the family happy is what every parent or children wants to do for their family.
Our Recreation Room
The man has been complaining that there isn’t even bar stools, in his recreation room at the basement for all his buddies.. when they come over to watch a game.. or play pool. And i refused to get any for him, unless i can find those that are really strong and sturdy. You guess right..!! his friends/buddies can get quite rowdy.. when they are watching their wrestling shows or currently .. their favourite Guitar Hero 3 for the xbox 360.
My Sanctuary
After having my lil’ brat, everyone said.. it will only get better . .once she is more independent but any mummy would know it isn’t true. Children can be very demanding .. and i don’t know how some can have more then 1 child, it must be tough. My sanctuary is my bathroom, everytime I am able to stay in the shower for a good 20mins.. i feel really good.. away from everything. .just my own time. Therefore, when anyone who visits my home, thinks i spend alot on bathroom vanities, well. .now you know why.
