New house

In january 2015 me and my hunny bought a house together! A huge house with a huge back yard! And a tiny garage (more on that later..).
We moved a bit out from Oslo, so we could afford it, but since it is right by a train station that only uses 30 min to Oslo, and goes every half an hour, it works out great. And my brother with his kids lives nearby too.

Here are some pictures of the house as we moved in, these are quite old as there has been some changes the last 3 years, more of them later. But this is why the rooms are not all glossy and tidy, they are all I have left from before they got redone, I even had to use some pictures from the prospect from the seller.
Small driveway

Guest toilet


Big long living room with fireplace

Tv on the wall

Dining area

A looong deck

Our gardenskills shows.. Have to do better..

Kitchen: Small and not so good as my old in the apartment..

Did add a giant fridge that I love!

Messy kitchen that is too small for us, planning on redoing it soon!

Our basement is another apartment, we used it for storage and gaming room.

This basement living room got a makeover, more on that in a later blogpost.

Started out as storage.

Kitchen in the basement apartment.

Bathroom in the basement, we used this until we got a new one on the first floor.

Bedroom in the first floor that later got redone.

We never used this bedroom, as it got turned into a bathroom, more on that later.

This bedroom in the basement was ours until we were done with the one on the first floor.


As you can see, I will post a heck of a lot more blogposts about our new house, the redesigning I did with the bathroom, bedroom, how the basement turned out and what we use it for now, our new car, gardenstuff, travelstuff and so on. I will try to feed my blog as much as I am able.

Ok, that made no sense.. Anyway, I went for a 20 Min walk with my honey (whom has a bad knee) and I ran some back and forth to get my pulse up. I thought the lights were going to be shining on the trail around the lake, but they were not, so it was very dark. I hope I did not step on any frogs..

Here is a picture of me after the walk, my hair is a mess, and I got red faced from the running. I need to do this more often, I am SO out of shape..

DUO eyelash adhesive!

I'm in love!
I have heard a lot about the DUO eyelash glue, everyone who has tried it says it's the best. I have been hunting it for some time, but I have never found it. Until now! I had to try it right away, and it is the eyelash glue I have waited for all my life! Easy application, sticks on after just 30 sec, easy to manoeuvre in place, and then sticks like it belongs! It's even waterproof! I have tested it for some hours now, and I can lightly pull on them, and it still sticks on perfectly! If you can get your hands on this wonder, you should never have a problem with eyelashes falling of in the middle of a party again!

Instagram.

I am trying out some of the cool photo apps I found for my new Samsung Galaxy S 3. You can find me on instagram by searching for Cheriesol.

Catflap!

I just have to share my newest gadget with you all. It is a Sureflap catflap. It has a chip-reader, and it reads the identity-chip the vet placed in the neck of my cats. I have programmed it to only let my cats in! No more worries about other cats coming into my flat and tearing the place down. And no more having to let them in and out all the time. Thank the gods for that, because my black cat, Anubis, has the most annoying meaows ever!! And he always wants to be where he is not, outside if he is inside, and the other way around. Almost needed a doorman just for him! Good thing the catflap takes care of that. And my cats are really good at using it, a bit cautious at first, but then they discovered it was freedom, and now they run in and out all the time.
It sits in our balcony-door.


Anubis coming inside.

Rhino-horn!!


Not like this, no..

No, not the animal rhino, but a plastic gizmo you use to rinse your nose with!
Yeah, ugh, I'm going to talk about slime and gore now, have to weigh up slightly for all the kitchen-building blogging.

Not very elegant, but it works!!


This has become my new best friend, according to an ear-nose-throat specialist I was at previously.
I'm struggling because of a blocked and runny nose, and have a number of polyps that clog my sinuses. This is some weird growths on the mucous membranes inside the sinuses, the scholars do not really know why it occurs, but they clog up the sinuses and make more mucus. Last resort is surgery, which I would prefer to avoid. So then I received a large regime with a whole shopping list of things I'm going to stuff up my nose. I am not particularly fond of the nasal spray, or just to blow my nose (all the mucus come just further up the nose and makes me clogged up, this apparently due to the polyps ..), so all this is completely new and unfamiliar (disgusting). First it was cortisone (pills) and nasal spray with cortisone. Since I got the nasal spray with sesame oil (?!) And some nasty drops to drip in my nose while I'm lieing, swinging my head back. And added to this I therefore rinse my nose several times a day with warm salt water by means of the nose-horn.

This is a really nice thing that actually help stuffy noses! It flushes in and out of the nose, and the salt water loosens up all the clogs. Just look forward to seeing all the weird things flowing out of your nose! Finally you can get out the lego blocks and peas you stuffed in there when you were a kid! I have heard from several directions (both physicians and the more alternative crowd) that this helps against colds and polyps, so remember putting in time to rinse your nose!

Good luck, and have an airy and clean nose!
