Electricity

Last week, we recieved another letter in the mail from our electricity provider. Letting us know that the rates will be going up again.

If we had the money we would go out straight away and buy some solar panels, but we don't :(

Our next house will have solar! I can't wait for that!

But for now, I am researching other electricity companies and their rates to see if we can get a better deal with some one else.

If anyone has any helpful tips or knowledge on cheaper companies please post me a comment! :)

We had a wonderful weekend, the boys had a blast staying at Granny and Pa's and we enjoyed being able to watch some scary movies! lol

Hope you all had a good weekend aswell :)

Catch up

The boys are off at my mum's today, so i can catch up on some much need cleaning, quietness so my brain can re-organise itself!!

We had a wonderful Mothers day. We stayed out our close friends house about a 40 minute drive from us. We had to get up early though so we could be home in time for morning tea with Bens mum "Granny". So Ben got us all Mcdonalds for breaky (something we don't do very often so was a great treat!) And parked the car beside the Noosa River for a beautiful view. We had a great morning tea with Granny with lots of food to eat (and bring home). I had a few wines and watched some shows and rested and played with the boys. (I did my best to ignore the cleaning that was awaiting me)

So monday was a a busy day, trying to keep the boys happy, trying to get some cleaning done. And trying to contact the lady for my course in regards to receiving my kit. That is a whole story to be told on its own. But none the less i hope it's on its way?!?!?!!

So today i decided to ship the boys off to my mums whilst my niece was there so the boys can have some play time while mummy has some quiet time!
This morning was a huge shamble, after a somewhat stressful day yesterday. I went to boil the kettle for Ben this morning, and it tripped the saftey switch. I didn't realise until i picked up his coffee and it felt abit cold. Sure enough the power was off and the kettle didn't boil.. Ben sculled his coffee and went out to check what was happening. We tried the kettle a few more times and sure enough it was the problem in every power point we tried.. SO in the bin it went. We then discovered that some of the power points were still not working. The fridge, telephone, modem and out living room lamp were all still off, while other appliances were on. We think a fuse is blown in one of the circuits. Ben's sparky mate from work is dropping by after work to check it out for us. (gotta love connections).

So here i am half the house work done, more to do, but not wanting to use the power incase it trips the safety switch again. What better use of my time than to blog and surf the net. Not that i look at much. But i am however going to have a go at making some earings. My MIL and myself got a free do it yourself earing making kits on our Better Homes and Gardens mag this month, My MIL wasn't interested in it so i have 2 to make. I've made one pair and loved it. (i'm going to wear them to a wedding this weekend!!)

I will post some photo's tomorrow of my creations. I think i may have found my hobbie!! Oh and don't fret we went and purchased a new kettle from Big W this morn so we wont be without a cuppa! We have used it already, just hope it last longer than the other one!

Hope your all having a great day. Mine can only get better, fingers crossed!
