She's back!!!! BB - it all looks fantastic!! Can you believe you are in?? Hows DS enjoying school? How are you adjusting to living back in Vic?? Have you found a new job yet? How's DH job going?? So many questions........ sorry! So glad to see you back and love your photos!!! you've done well - despite all the dramas!! Where did you get your blinds from?? Hey Eiffel, How are you?? DS is loving school and i have meet 2 amazing mums as well who are also new to BM so it's great. Also landed a casual job with the CFA so settling in well and getting to people and the area. Life is 110% different, no shops and life is at a snails pace and i LOVE it I ventured down to Watergardens today and it reminded me why we decided to live where we are.... DH is working with my dad for now helping him out on building sites, his looking but his still a little unsure what he wants to do after 11 years of being told what to do Some days it hits me that i'm back in Melbourne and i just cry (Happy tears) other days i'm just so overwhelmed by all the mud and stuff to do around the house i cry... because yet again i have to mop and wash the floors from the mud With regards to the blind i can NOT speak more highly of Tom from Dymon Blinds : 0437 88 33 88 or tom@dymondblinds.com.au. We had quotes from both V & K and they where all around $6k on sale Tom came in at just over $3k for the exact same thing, and he come to measure and personaly installs as well. He threw in our laundry blind for free as we wheren't going to get one and when he can to install he surprised me. A super awesome guy who really cares for his clients. He also told us things the other big two players didn't bother. With D/N blinds as they sit in the frame you have a 7mm gap around them so he suggested that we put the day on the inside and place the night on the outside so that we had no sunlight bleeding in the mornings/ day.

That is such a fantastic price for your blinds.....not sure your guy would come all the way over this side of town....but at those prices it is definitely worth asking the question!!!
