When one job leads to another job.

Yesterday was the start of the end of year sales.  I had been waiting for them as I really needed some new manchester.  Off I went at 8am (not that I really wanted an early start on Boxing Day!) and bought what I wanted without any hassles and no crowds.  It was quite a stress-free experience!  By the time I got the car at 9:15am the car park was starting to fill up and I left just in time.

Buying a doona cover that suits both a male and female can be tricky.  My DH does not like girly white/pastels/pink covers. So I hunted around for something that we would both like and this is what I found and DH loved it. It is very rich in colour (not that the photo shows this) and in a heavy fabric (unlike many that are in a soft cotton).   This isn't likely to show black hair from one fluffy cat!! Besides the doona, I also picked up 2 sets of sheets (1000 thread Egyptian cotton) and a memory pillow for my son. If you live near a Harris Scarf's store - it is the best place for sheets and it has the BEST sales - I saved almost 70% on the original prices.

The new doona cover and pillows.  Its hard to tell, but the colour is very rich - gold, purple, green, deep red in a heavy fabric.

The cow is my heat wheat pack that I use in winter and the black guerrilla "I love you" was a gift from my husband!!

The back of the doona is cotton is this gorgeous rich gold, so when I saw sheets also in gold I just had to buy them. It makes the bed look luxurious!

Once DH and I made the bed (we even turned the mattress) I decided to tackle the linen cupboard and go through all the sheets and throw away anything that had become wore etc.. This led to a much bigger clean out.  Our linen cupboard is full of "stuff" and it really needed a complete going through - so that is what I did. I was surprised at what I found!!!

Ruby getting very involved in everything I was doing.

Doing an inspection!!!

Getting into things she wasn't meant to!!

Rubbish - all fitted in the bin, just!! and I had another pile for St Vinnies charity bin!

That was exhausting!!

Once the linen cupboard was clean, I had plenty of extra space to move things from the study into the cupboard.  This lead to cleaning out part of the study!!!  Some hours later I had a ham sandwich and a hot chocolate.

That was good
