I have bought a labelmaker.  This is, of course, not earth shattering, but I have to say, I'm pretty excited!   Naturally, the labels are for useful things, like school books, pencils and other school paraphernalia.  I even have iron-on ones for the school uniform.  I might even get organised and label containers in the pantry (at the moment the only way to tell sugar from salt is to taste it before use).  

I am trying to resist the urge to label everything in sight... wait, there goes the dog, don't go away!!!

OK, back now.  The fact that each cartridge costs $13.00 will probably slow me down after a while.  I have been wanting one of these forever, so that's another one of life's goals I can cross off the list (hey, if you keep the expectations low, you are rarely disappointed).

We started looking for a new house today, we want to graduate from three bedrooms, one bathroom to four bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Having only one toilet in the house was OK when the two youngest members were in nappies, but now that all four of us are toilet trained, the pressure is on.  The best part of looking for a house is getting to peek through other people's houses.  It always amazes me that some people will put a lot of thought into presenting their house for sale, cleaning up, de-cluttering, and some people really don't!!  You'd think they'd at least mow the lawn before an open house, wouldn't you??  It's just the beginning of a long (and probably tedious) process, but when we bought this house we had no kids and a lot less furniture!  Something has to give and Husband won't let me give the kids away!
