the rain on paint

have been trying to paint the pool room
but for some inexplicable reason Cape Town winter has arrived in Durban
and i can't hardly get a thing done!
water has been coming down the walls from the wind pushing the rain in at all angles
making a huge and spectacular mess on unsuspecting painted walls
and poor old dirty floors
if and when the paint all dries I hope to share my enjoyable project
it has been super frustrating but also fun and a big blessing

being loved = being home

''Home'' is any four walls
that enclose the right person.
Helen Rowland
home again, home again, jiggedy jig....
but being with mom, then it's "home"
and being here with hubby, that's "home" too
so I it doesn't matter where my suitcase is
being loved = being home

look up "there's no place like home" you get the greatest shoes in the world!!! 
wowy ~ every lady needs a pair of ruby slippers don't you think?

Swim School

It's finally all come together. I start teaching on the 15th June at my friend's swim school while she is away for a month and then on the 18th of July I move over to my "own" pool (I don't own it but am the designated teacher for the venue ~ an indoor pool) for which the numbers are just growing and growing.....

I want it ..... free!

There is an American show on at the moment called Extreme Couponing where these very organised people collect coupons and got up to 99% of their purchases FREE!
needless to say this is driving me crazy since our beloved country has no equivalent... if it did, i would be a champion couponer and save a fortune in grocery bills
sigh
so now i spend any moment of computer time entering competitions online and via sms
i really NEED to get something for free!
i don't know why, i just do
