My flooring is underway but I managed to grab an hour off because I refused to go to the Family Easter dinner ritual. I don’t celebrate Easter anyway and it has given me a chance to actually turn on my PC and catch up :)
I am keeping a house diary of the progress and this is it so far. Don’t expect me to get online before end of next week though guys -this is a big house and I have hours and hours of hard work left. Yes my pink slippers seem to make an appearance - but those are already promised to one of my guys so those are not available for sale - sorry! :P
Guest Room - before flooring

Guest Room - during flooring

Guest Room - floor laid - skirting to do

Dining Area/Lounge just starting to lay

Dining Area/Lounge half way done

What happens now is that I will continue laying it through the dining room doorway and through the open area to the entrance area (I am not having doors there you see), then I will continue along the long hallway. When that is laid, I will then start in the kitchen :)
When everything is done, I will then start going round and putting in the skirting :) PHEW!
It’s a big job, but it is alot of fun as well. The cutting is the thing that takes the longest - the rest goes pretty fast :)
I WON’T be around for the next week. Please don’t expect me to reply if you email me - I have to get this all done in this coming week - that is my deadline and I cannot have any interruptions :)
Bye for now - see you all in a week!
Love Cinds xxxxxxx

Living in Germany can be quite entertaining. I know I make horrendous mistakes sometimes. My most recent is …. “Yeah I have been so busy in my house stroking my walls”. (Obviously I wanted to say painting but the two words are almost the same in German “gestreichen” “gestrichen”)
Or my main balls up when I said “That damn hunter man, I heard him shitting all night long”. Obviously I wanted to say Shooting, but again, the word is almost the same in German. “Geschissen” “Geschossen”
I often make booboos but luckily the villagers find it funny rather than offensive. My nail lady literally has tears rolling down her cheeks some days because of the words I come out with.
One of my guys sent me this YouTube Video. I hope you find it as funny as I did :)

Oh shit, I seriously cannot watch that without pissing myself LOLOL

Yup Yup Yup. Yesterday was spent haggling and negotiating prices for 85 square meters of beechwood laminate, including all the skirting, underlays and a cutting machine.
Today I find out how much discount I get and then I have to go and pick it all up myself. Good job I still have my huge 4×4 bondmobile - although I will probably need 3-4 trips as I don’t want to wreck the suspension on my car :)
Later on I will continue moving furniture out of the spare bedroom as this is where I will start laying it. I am really looking forward to seeing it all progress. Needless to say I won’t be around much for the next 2 weeks or so but I will log on as much as I can :)
Nothing else to report really. I have another attunement for my Kundelini Reiki tomorrow, another one next week then I start my Master :). My Energy Anatomy Diploma is going well and I am now half way through it. The Assignments are not that hard, I just like to take my time and make sure I get them done properly. I have scored 100 percent on each assignment so far and I really want to maintain a high score for the main exam at the end of it (I have another 6 assignments to do first).
I hope that everyone is well and happy - things are really going great my end and I have lots of exciting things happening this year :)
Bye for now guys and gals,
Love and kisses,
Cindsxxx

The subject is the 3 things that I still need. I have been frantically working my butt off in my house for the past fortnight painting walls and filling in and painting all the coving. Some people hate coving, I personally love it. It adds a finishing touch to a room and when done properly, looks amazing!!
Monday and Tuesday I probably won’t be online much as I am going shopping for a floor. Can you believe I have spent 3 years running around on bare concrete .. well ok on mats and rugs strategically placed so my socks don’t wear out hehe.. Finally … after years of waiting ….I am getting a floor. Its going to match my open wooden staircase and will be high quality laminate in Beechwood.
After that Ill be heading to Leatherland and getting myself a sofa .. I haven’t had a sofa for 10 years so I can see myself laying on that 24/7 with my coffee machine and my laptop hahaa *she wishes*.
THEN comes the DOORS, and a KITCHEN and then finally outside some paving… it will all take a lot of time though, everything is so darn expensive.
If there are any guys out there with too much money and don’t know what to do with it, just send a few thousand over to me, I promise to put it to good use hehehe *wink .. Oh the joys of building your own house .. great building it, but can’t afford to fill it hahaha.
Sorry about the pic, I just took that now. I look a bit of a scraggy hat-rack at the moment. I had a sickness virus a little while ago and not only did it knock me for six, I still can’t eat any meat or anything oily or fatty whatsoever. It was great at first, I lost a few extra pounds that I had trouble shifting, however, it is coming off too fast. I’ve lost a stone in about 3-4 weeks. I don’t feel weak or pathetic yet and I am eating tons of fruit and veg, but I have to admit I miss my TITS!!!! Goddamn it, why doesn’t it ever go from your ass first eh??
Anyway - I have to go now as I have my first attunement tonight for my Kundelini Reiki Course :). Have a good one peeps. Chat soon!
Love Cinds x

Hi .. yep I am back for a few days but I do have to apologise to everyone for not being online. My whole family has been ill this week and I had to nurse them through it all.
From now on I won’t be able to log in at all at the weekends and sometimes including a Friday and a Monday. Privacy is a real issue for me, which is why I decided to cut back anyway.
If you need someone to answer your emails each day and be there for you 24/7, then find another girl because I can’t do it anymore. I will log in when I can and catch up on my mail when I can, which will usually be mid-week time. If you don’t get an instant reply from me please understand you haven’t done anything wrong, I just cannot get online.
I have some of the most beautiful friends online whom I cherish and love dearly, however, at the end of the day my family must always come first and foremost.
Thank you….
p.s. Mike I shall still be entering your feet competition :P
