Into #thedarlingden
Last week was the final move into the new place. I can understand why they say that moving is one of the most stressful times. I’ve been a mess of emotions. Our internet is taking longer to set up, thanks to poor service from Telstra. We rang up 10 days in advance as my Father and I both need the internet, and were assured it would be ready to go by the time we moved in. Except, they forgot to put through the order for the modem. So, fingers crossed we shall have it by weeks end. We had to go out and buy a wifi dongle. My place is…

The Darling Den, an update!
We’ve started painting! YES! My sister and I headed out to Bunnings in search of white paint, so I could paint the wall behind where I was putting my wall units. Who knew that so many different shades of white existed!? I was waiting at the paint counter to get my paint tinted to the colour I wanted, only to be told that the colour I had picked was the base colour and I didn’t need anything done to my tin. Whoops. I’ve learnt i’m not really a painter. I had no idea what I was doing. So, I put my sister to work! She has a steady hand and…

Happenings!
I’m currently unsure which was is up & I admit, I’ve probably cried twice a day in the past week. It’s been crazy. First up, meet Stark (First image). If you follow me on twitter, you’ve seen me complain about my desktop. It hates me, it’s not yet two, but it’s not had sound for over a year, the graphics card is possessed and I’ve been having to do a systems re-store at least once a week. My family have always bought Dell computers, Tesla was Dell #5 for us, but oh man, how that will change. The customer service i’ve had with them has been nothing but awful. I…

Update on The Darling Den!
I really don’t like moving. I guess i’ve been lucky that my parents have lived in the same house for the past 20 years, and it’s just been me that’s moved to a different state and back. This move however seems epic. We’ve been finding stuff of mine from years ago that I’ve longed since remembered even existed. We figured we’d need to do the move in two parts, but by the end of Monday, when the 10tonne truck had unloaded everything it could fit, we realised, we may in fact need to do three. We’ve got bits and pieces in the house, and someone looking after it while we…

The Darling Den – Living Room / Kitchen / Office
I’m starting to freak out. In 2 weeks we get the keys to the new place, and I feel like I have 10972310973 things to do. In my head, i’ve been trying to figure out how i’m going to organise everything. How will I fit everything? What do I need to buy? What kind of lounge do I need? Will the bench in the kitchen move? As a refresher, you can see the room I’m talking about in this post HERE. In the main room I need to fit the kitchen area, a full fridge, and storage space for food/cookware. I need a lounge, a place to put my TV,…
