Re: Scenic Rim QLD Acreage Build With Bold Living. 207Feb 14, 2018 3:23 pm Tribe7 Hey Flea, How you doing? How’s that landscaping coming on? Yeah we had a bit of a run through the brambles and had to shake it all off. All good now which is awesome. We actually got our second pup yesterday she is very cute and teddy doesn’t know if he wants to chew her to pieces, lick her silly or just love her I’ll get a pic of them together today. What did you buy? 10-12 months isn’t bad at least your over the crazy stage. How is your son with the dog? Hope your well Awe I can’t wait to see a pic he’s probably 14 months now we have a Blue cattle dog he’s just beautiful but absolutely hates other animals so no more animals while we have him... He’s going hood with him! I think it’s what he has needed to be honest. And my oldest just l bed him to bits! Lol landscaping what landscaping 🤣 it’s going very slowly! We laid a little bit of turf (50m2) out the front to stop our dirt from washing on to the road and planted 4 plants 🤪 that’s it so far! Christmas and rates at the same time stopped us a little bit...

Bahahahhaha that’s what I like about it, it’s all mismatched and carefree. I love the perfect look with everything matching with contrasting accents. I just can’t have it in my house because it would never ever (like ever in a million years) stay perfect. I just found 4 different earrings of mine in Pippa’s Barbie ponies mane. Clearly my earring dish is for pony embellishments Oh look at Beko front loading washing machines, they are the top rated washer in the UK and way cheaper than a lot of others. I love mine, I’ve got a 10kg front loader and it’s brilliant was under $1k also there service centre and repairs are at Yatala ( not overseas somewhere) wait till spot light have a huge sale and save a bundle. What kind of curtains do you want? Mmmm fridge I need to buy too I’m going to get a Beko. I need a full wir fit out and mud bench too Re: Scenic Rim QLD Acreage Build With Bold Living. 210Feb 14, 2018 7:35 pm Tribe7 Bahahahhaha that’s what I like about it, it’s all mismatched and carefree.

It’s so lovely to hear the boys are loving the doggie and he loves them. My lot adore these fluff bums. It’s a very expensive time of year hey, the good part is you can take all the time you like. I’m really excited about the build now. Urban utilities are about to get a roasting but all is good in the hood.
