what order?

I have just bought some chairs off ebay for the verendah when it is built, I keep thinking that there is 2 ways of doing this; 1. To wait until it is finished and then if there is any money left to go and source things or use whatever you have to sit on. 2. To slowly acquire these things when they come up, for a good price and then wonder where the hell you are going to store 7 chairs now as I had already bought one previously. So I have 7 chairs here and they are lovely. The work perfectly with the French Provincial theme that I am attempting and I am on the look out for a table that works with both theme and budget. I think that I have managed to not use too much of the savings and when we find the time and the energy we will continue with the verandah until then we are busy with lots of other things. We have to cull the cars and my other half desperately would like to get a new one (well second hand new one!) He has worked hard and we have found what we would like to get and have the money put away however we have to now fix up and sell 2 cars to buy this one. This would leave us with 2 cars after that. One that I can drive with the kiddies and one for him. At the moment we have his car, that sits out the front and does nothing much. A toyota hilux that NEEDS to be sold, the work car that was my dads and he left to us that he drives on a daily basis, that also needs to be sold and my car that is used on a daily basis as well. He would like to get a mini, we have had all sorts of comments including "are you gay?" to the kiddies pointing out every single mini that they see and trying to decide on the right colour which involves not on the body of the car but the roof as well. For now it is just a matter of cleaning up, doing minor fixes, getting a road worthy or 2 and selling. Recently I had a little birthday, the birthday boy was turning 2. SO LOVELY. I wasn't able to visit my friend and her boy however I decided to send things and I am trying desperately to have presents that are made or local or something. The kiddies decided to help me and Red Headed Hurricane thought that a little boy needed a "grill'd" box to put the things in, like he does for his thomas trains and cars so that was the first thing. We went to our favourite burger place and when getting the burgers got an extra tin. So then we needed to include Easter as well, so Thomas was also chosen and I was thinking this was exactly what I was wanting to do however well the next idea, was my Petal to include a little present for his Mummy of an apron that was made so this was good. Then we found some little pencils as well so that was agreed on as well. the last item we had to make, he loves "the Cars" movie and characters so it was agreed that Lightening McQueen would go on the front of the library bag that we were making for him. My dearest other half stepped up with his Engineering back ground and cut out the material, working out the dimensions and how it would go together. I then sewed on the embroidery (using the machine) with the character and then the name, was decided to be done in RED to match the character and contract on the lovely Slate grey colour of the bag itself. Lastly I sewed up the bag and threaded through the cord and it was done. We also included a Made in Australia and local top from Moppit. So all the things along with a card were popped in and sent to Daylesford. It was so much fun that the family has decided to do one for another little soul, a little girl this time. All we have to do is agree on the design.
