Last weekend we had a nice weekend with both going for a trip and fixing up some things on the house.
Saturday we went to Sandnes and Stavanger for shopping in a big shopping center. Found finally a shop that had my size in jeans, so I got two new jeans. Theresa also got a new jumper. Next to that we found some nice guitar book on accords and bought also a present for one of our friends for Christmas already. (yeah that starts also now). After the shopping center we went to the IKEA which was a bit further away where we got a shoe bench, a medicin cabinet, a towelbench and two foldable washing baskets. What is so special about shopping in a big shopping center, you would probably say. Well, one) Theresa and I work both now, so we spend less time together. It was just very nice to be out for once again together. Spend time together, talk and see things. two) a big shopping center isn't within 50 km distance, you will have to drive a few km's (and hours) to find one. One would be in Kristiansand (1,5-2 hours driving) or the other one in Sandnes (2-2,5 hours driving). Work? Yes, I work for 2 months at AESTON, hopefully I get a full contract soon. Yes, Theresa works for 2 months at a private family as Nanny, very stressful... 3 not so calm kids so to say ;). After lots of shopping, eating in Ikea, picking up your items from a seperate Ikea center and lots of driving we came home all tired and are happy with what we could do together. The next morning I started on constructing the newly bought things. The washing baskets are there to get rid of washing on the cellar floors (which wasn't good to our clothing). Easy job done (see photos). In the hall we have now a shoe bench where shoes go on when you change to your inhome slippers (that is anyway a Norwegian tradition). In the hall also a special cabinet that I have made for putting up all the medicines and emergeny stuff in a central place. Saves space in the kitchen ;). Our cats medicines are also there now. In the bathroom I installed a towelrack, so that we save space in the sleepingroom. In the bedrooms I have installed 3 heaters (bought earlier from Elkjøp) each in different sizes (1000W for the big room, 700W for the bit smaller room and 500W for the smallest room). So I feel now very happy about a lot of new stuff in the house that makes it feel more clean than before. Next step is to put some old stuff from the garage on the internet for sale (which I actually just did while writing this blog, www.finn.no), so that we have room for our car in the garage ;). Will slowly add more photos to the photoalbums during the coming days. Have just added photos to Snow album. Will also add now the photos that fit to the things I installed on sunday. Till next blog! |
