Went down to Rocko council to sort out bins, free plants [apparently they stopped the 2 free native plants per new home back in June.... I was very disappointed to hear this
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
After visiting the council, I went to my house and put the house numbers on my mail box. I already had a mailbox and it's already battered and worn, so I figured I'd save the "nice" silver house numbers for the actual house, and the free, **** house numbers can go on the free, weather beaten mailbox. I don't know if you'll be able to see them without a torch/headlights.... But that's why I'm getting the silver ones for the house.... Oh, and probably for the rear entrance too.... So I know which garage is mine! Haha!
The builder looks to have pretty well fixed the render, except where the hand mark is by my window. Part of me wants to leave it there, as it adds "character" and probably looks better than where they've patched the other parts of the render. Another part of me is disappointed that the person who did the render, really doesn't take as much pride in their work as I do! I hope they're not the same person as the plasterer, 'cause they had a bit of work to do too.
Actually, I came on here to tell you how damn excited I am to be moving into my house next Monday!!!! I might finally get to meet one of my new neighbours (Vans) and I am really looking forward to having my OWN space back!!! And it's MINE!! Yayauayay!
I've booked the removalists for the morning, I've booked Internet/phone for the next morning. I'm changing providers after being with Telstra all my life..... Which makes me a bit sad, 'cause I really wanted Telstra to match the deal and I would've stayed with them, no question. But, they're just not that interested in keeping me loyal, so, I'm off to Westnet (which is iiNet)! Optus aren't in the area yet, so they didn't even get a chance. Good thing iiNet uses Telstra's lines.
I've also changed most of my mailing addresses.
I want to get two new door mats (back and front) for handover day, but not sure where to get the one for the front door. I want a really effective one, or one that looks pretty. Pretty and effective would work for me too!!
Anyway, I'm off to start my front landscape design, so that I can be well prepared like Ally! I have ideas, just haven't put them on paper yet
