Congratulations Bel - I have noticed your car most days on my drive-bys and I'm so happy that you are settling in well. Fingers crossed that your concreter will arrive soon to get that drive-way done. It must be difficult with the little ones surrounded by mud (I know my time will come...argh!). Our brickies have slowed to a halt somewhat with the weather predictions for all this week being wet. So, much as you, we are playing the waiting game again too.
MW - I took the girls down to the park on Sunday morning and it didn't quite look as bad as your pics but it was pretty disgusting (there was a birthdya party of about 20 or so kids arriving as we were leaving so I don't know if your pics were before or after that). If someone (anyone!) would put more and larger bins around perhaps it wouldn't be so bad. It seems that most people are trying to put their rubbish in there but the bins are simply not large enough. I feel sorry for those looking out over the park- I'm sure that they didn't think it would look like a tip....more phone calls to the Council are obviously needed. I'm adding that to my list of things to do....
Thanks twodragons+3 I have been keeping an eye on your progress as well, it sure is going up quickly. You may just scrape in before Christmas do you think? Fprtunately our concreter started today, we have Council inspection tomorrow and then he is back on Friday to do the back and then will do the front Monday. Once that is finished we have to start with the grass, oh well it ever end.
