Use to be for years hubby makes coffee and we had a long chat. Post illness he now sleeps in so I check emails, facebook and news until he gets up. Oh for the old days - we'll get there again sometime. He still eventually makes me coffee though.

yes Wuff it was extremely upsetting. I used to go to my car after every visit & cry & cry! My little guy is the apple of my eye & just the most fun lovable thing that even people who don't like dogs warm to. He's so used to being with people & having people fuss over him.Not the girls at quarantine though! You could see in his eyes he couldn't understand what he'd done wrong to be locked up & shunned & he used to howl & cry whenenver I got up to leave. The last week he was there he stopped eating. My 2 cats were rescues. My Maine Coon, Mr Bubba Coon was dumped at San Diego County Animal Shelter because he was the runt of the litter & deemed to be not big enough to be saleable. It was the height of the GFC. I brought him back to Sydney with me. My other guy, Spooky Cat is black & he & his sister were dumped at a vet in Five Dock here in Sydney aged 4 weeks. He stayed locked up in a cage at the shelter until he was 16 weeks old as black cats & tortys are the hardest cats to find a home for. When i took him home he just sat on the couch for a week because the concept of being free to walk about wherever he wanted was so foreign to him. He is the sweetest, loveliest little guy with beautiful yellow green eyes.

To be honest the washing machine grabs my eye the most, as it is an intense white in a natural coloured space. HOWEVER- that beautiful timber screening in the background is really quite amazing and a great feature for a home.

Hi Sand floors first, install cupboards, paint, polish boards and decorate. Think about what needs to be done as a whole and what aspects, trades, tools etc will be required for these jobs. Sanding of floors will create mess, so do first when the room is bare. The cupboards are next as their install may cause damage to walls and floors. Then paint as you could drip onto floor, use of ladders can mark floors etc. Once the walls are done, do the floor so you have worked from the corner and top, to bottom and out. Have you thought about the overall style of the space? Do you need assistance with interior design advice? Have fun :)
