Hectic week
Messy garden
About two weeks ago we discovered that something in the bathroom had to be leaking. There was a big ugly spot visible on the ceiling downstairs.
My dad came to the rescue and tried to fix the toilet. But it wouldn’t stop leaking. Turned out that the toilet tank had a crack. In-wall toilet tanks are supposed to last for at least 20 years, but the previous owners probably wanted to save a few bucks and opted for a cheap one 
My dad had to break that part of the wall down and we ordered a new tank. Never thought I would go shopping for an in-wall tank, had no idea what it looked like until last week 
Now the downside of the renovation work is that me and my hubby have to clean up the mess each day -for a good couple of hours- because we have to use the bathroom. I hope it will be finished by next week because I want my clean and uncluttered bathroom back!
We’re also working on the garden, you can see in the picture what it looked like a few weeks ago. The gravel will be replaced with bricks and my brother in law is helping out with the plants. If everything goes according to plan it should be finished in two weeks. I can’t wait to start decorating it ^_^
Thursday night (in the Netherlands) we turned on CNN to watch the news on Michael Jackson. In the morning we found out he had died. Although I wasn’t a huge fan, his music was there during my childhood and teenage years. It’s weird that he’s gone now. I feel so sorry for him, he never seemed to be at ease. I think his father is largely to blame for this, forcing him to perform at such an early age. My hubby and I had a discussion about it and thought it looked a lot like the way Elvis had died. This is the cartoon he made about it. Today I read the blog post that Lisa Marie Presley wrote and it explains a lot.
I feel sorry for Lisa and Micheal’s Children. I feel sorry for Lisa because she feels it’s her fault but it isn’t and Micheal probably wouldn’t want her to feel that way. I feel sorry for the kids because they don’t have a dad.
I can’t believe he’s dead, because it feels unreal even though it is the truth.
Anyways good luck with your garden.
Bathroom renovations and leaks of any sort are usually a mess… Take it easy!
And don’t forget to post pictures or your new garden.
Yeah, I neither was a fan of Michael Jackson, nevertheless I feel sorry for him too.
Hello. Came across your website & i find it very nice and unique!
into my blog as a emoticon? If yes, how to i put it in while blogging?
Anyway, is it possible i put your smileys eg:
Can you teach me step by step. Sorry for the trouble though
The toilet situation happen to us as well a year ago,
and to the sink. The sink water actually went through the walls and onto the carpet in the room in front of the bathroom. The toilet upstairs put a brown circle on our ceiling downstairs, but I don’t know why our previous owners didn’t fix it. They were high payed doctors. 
About the MJ situation, I do feel sorry for his kids, 
but I do think people are taking his death a little bit over rated when there are other problems in the world. While everyone was concentrated on his death Obama signing laws that we’re not aware of and talking about United Nations.
Renovations are really tough but hard work makes the end result all worth it. Good luck with it.
It was huge news all over the world when Michael Jackson died. I wasn’t much of a fan because he was sort of before my generation but he did have an influence on many artists today. I do feel sorry for his children though.
Hey!
I like your site very much, and a few months/weeks ago i asked you a question about your layout & stuff about how your type of layout was called. Now, finally i finished my website and i would like to ask you, to take a quick look? and tell me what you think?

I’ve check your site for years now.
What happened to your info about making personality quizzes?
That sucks that you had to go through all the trouble to buy a new toilet and have it installed. I hate working on bathroom maintenance-y stuff. Good luck though. At least now your toilet will hopefully last a lot longer than the previous one and new ones are clean and shiny.
It felt so unreal that Michael Jackson died but now I regret not knowing him well enough. He was just “there” while I was growing up but now I wish I listened to his music more.
