I'm thinking about paint....

So I'm just thinking about paint colours....

I haven't cleaned down walls or anything yet, but it's aways good to think ahead.

I was thinking about just plain white everywhere so I can then go to town with colour in the furniture etc. What do you think???? Also I am aware that there are about 10000 shades of white. What does one do about that?

Input here would be a great help ladies, time to use your talents!!!!!!

Also I you know/hear/see any second hand tables/chairs/beds I would love to know more about them.....

Of course I'm going with second hand stuff as part of the whole sustainable/ recycle thing! That and my budget is pretty much non exist ant. But I am willing to pay for stuff if anyone wants to sell.

I also have a fantastic painting contractor as pictured and they have grown a bit since then so they should be even better now.

waiting to hear what you think.............................

photostory presentation for woman's thing

Woman's thing thoughts and reflections

Well I thought last Wednesday's networking session was great. The presentations were all fantastic and everyone appeared to be really focused on their project and knew what they wanted to do. (I must get on to that one myself!)

What amazed me the most was how different all of the projects were- such diversity!! It was also great that we were all able to share our ideas with each other so we know what everyone else is thinking........

Welcome to my blog....

Hello there,

I'm very new to the world of blog so please be kind to me.

It's called the good life after a crazy 70's bbc show with the same name.

The show was based around 2 neighbours in an English city. One lot of neighbours had quit their jobs in order to become self sufficient. The other neighbour continued their usual city lifestyle but were always there to interact and support the self sufficient couple when needed.

It was one of the first shows our family used to watch when we eventually got tv when I was about 6. They were re-runs by then so stop trying to work out my age!

While I know I'll never be able to be completely self sustainable in this mixed up earth we live in- I strongly believe in wasting as little as possible and living simply.

Yeh I know that means I should grow my arm pit hair and move to the commune but I just like my power and shower too much!

But in saying that I have simplified my life a lot in the last 12 months.

I quit my job, I grow lots of vegetables, I help my husband with the cattle property, I am teaching the kids myself through distance education, I now have hobbies/interests and a sort of social life!

And I have ideas and plans for the future.........................
