Paying homage to Google

You might remember the recent post about mr DIY and the saving of several hundreds of dollars thanks to a google search and a few you tube clips. Well, this week it was the fridge. It had been leaking for a week inside and then yesterday refused to get cold enough to stop the milk from curdling so we turned to our friend google. Again we gained instruction and guidance (complete with diagrams) from our dear friend and by the end of the day we had one fixed fridge and it didn't cost us a cent! So yes, when all else fails (and you're as cheap as we are!) give google (and of course you tube) a go....you'd be suprised what it can teach you :P

Simple pleasures

All it took was 2 lengths of pine, a few bolts and two trips to the tip shop to fill numerous buckets with sand and we now have one of the greatest joys of childhood!

I spent a few hours in there with the kids today reliving my youth....sandcastles, sand pies, sand between your toes and down your shirt. What could be better?
