McBloody Hell!

Well my husband surprised me and rose to the cause! Yesterday we got in and cleaned the big shed which was a mess.  It became the dumping ground for half unpacked boxes when we moved in (last October) and a lot of stuff got wet since the roof leaked.  We threw out a lot of stuff, took two full loads to the tip.  It's amazing what you think you can't do without but you really can.  We also cleaned up the stables.  Just the old Wii room to do down there now. Yesterday it felt like old times, the two of us working together and he was his old self again.  I wonder if I was?
 Tomorrow I will start in the house.  Crazy Landlady visit is a great excuse to get some serious Spring cleaning done and I'm ready for it.  I have so much energy.  She won't find much wrong with this place.  In fact I'm going to make this house so clean and beautiful she'll wish she wasn't so.........er.......crazy.
Today we took the kids up to Young.  Yesterday we also cleaned the car inside and out and we wanted to get new floor mats and a new seat cover for the back seat.  We got those and took the kids to Maccas which is an occasional treat for them since we don't have one here.  We parked the car close to the entry door and actually sat at the big glass window looking out at it.  When we went to get in the car to leave, we found that the left hand side rear door had been smashed.  We hadn't seen or heard a thing.  There was glass all over the car.  Phill went in and spoke to the McManager and he said the security video could only be viewed by the higher up McManager or the police.  We borrowed their dustpan and brush and cleaned up as much as we could and went aroung to the police station which was of course unmanned.  This is what we pay our taxes for, Young is a big town.  Anyway we knew the cops couldn't do anything but Maccas said they'd been having a lot of problems in the carpark and reporting it would help.  We went to the carwash and vacuumed the rest of the glass out and drove home.  I was surprised to see our local constabulary call around later and take some details.  So now we'll have to wait till Tuesday so Phill can drive to Wagga and get a window and put it in.  Going to be very McDrafty driving around till then.  I reckon the Hamburglar was the McCulprit myself.
This is going to be my "before" photo.  I should dig out my original "before" photo when I weighed 107+kg.

Took some photos while waiting to go out this afternoon.  Typical Josh pose.

Look at the pretty cherry blossom trees....wait what's that in the bottom of the photo??

And the rose bush is coming back............hey who's that camera hog?

Don would never go to Maccas - but the one time we did we got the only flat tyre we've ever had - must be something about the carparks!!! Lovely photos
