Veiw from the conservatory to the clock, even the dog got in it, the dog matches the carpet LoL

From the stairs to the dining room towards the conservatory

The veiw from the stairs to the door

This is from the window to the stairs



Woohoo its finished and i am tired... my feet are aching and i am in need of a shower or bath, i am so pleased, its turned out better than i thought it would, i am getting a new carpet in the next few weeks, whew i cant tell you how pleased i am its finished, now to tidy up the rest of the house.

Day Eleven

Today is day eleven woohoo one more day then the decorator is finished omg i just cant wait i am getting so excited at the prospect of having my home back and tidy at last, i am still trying to work on Rodney to get me a new carpet i even mentioned it again today LoL i will keep trying until i know for definate that he wont get me one
I am writing this in bed listening to BBC7 i never even knew there was a BBC7 LoL its quite amusing comedy thats on will be listening to this more often,
Oh well better sign off for today and get some sleep well try and get some sleep as i want to be up early tomorrow morning. so goodnight all..

DAY TEN.

The clock back where it should be, cant tidy up yet as the decorators stuff still all over the place.

Mirror back up i have changed this from the living room into the dining room i think it will look better,

Today is day ten the dining room is finished Rodney put the mirror up and put the clock back only because hes back a work friday night for the week anyway the decorator has asked can he stretch the decorating out till friday as he said something at home and hes put his foot in it or something so he wants to stretch ours out till friday LoL so of course i said of course he can, anyway taken two pics to show how far hes got.


Rodney has been busy in the garden cutting stuff down i kinda stood there and said oh my law my poor garden, but anyway it keeps him quiet rofl while i get stuff done inside,

Day Nine

This is the dog crate that i bought Rodney keeps calling me saying i am being unfair and its like inprisioning the dog but i dont think it is it will serve as his bed for downstairs, hes been in it and hes alright with it ,

Day nine some of the paper is on

Day nine today decorator came and wasn't very well i thought he would be going home but no he stayed and redid the ceiling and made a start on the papering the paper looks awesome i am thrilled, it seems like there are sparkly bits in the paper and it sort of shimmers, anyway took a pic but you cant see the paper very well i expect it can only be seen properly when the chimney breast paper is on and then we will be able to see a contrast, anyway i am thrilled so far and that's the main thing i finally feel like we are getting somewhere ,

Day 8

This is beyond the fence that hes actually doing now , hes decided that its too much for one man to do so hes getting someone in to do it!!!!!!!!

My favourite tree

Newly painted stairs


Okay the decorator came this morning and did some more hes painted the bannister spindles they look very nice too we havent had gloss we have had eggshell seems much softer hes going to do the ceilings again tomorrow morning as he can see where hes missed bits so hes going over them, then comes the paper oh my i cant wait to see what its like when its finished just hope i like the paper i have chosen.

Today i mowed the lawns and Rodney has been chopping at my favourite tree at the side of the conservatory now i know when the wind blows its kinda hits it not hard but all the same the tree brushes at it, and its making the conservatory roof very dirty green with the falling leaves so hence hes out there chopping for all hes worth i just dont really want him to chop the tree down completely as i like it there,

Now hes on about rearranging the garden gosh i just want him to sort the bottom of it out and not touch the top part but well for those that know my husband he doesnt do things by halves,
well i have said all this about the bottom of the garden and hes actually there now making some headway i think Stuart (SIL) is helping him. photos later.

Sunday

Sunday today tidied the house up as much as i can LoL swept the floor ready to vacuum and that was about it, done kitchen bathroom and bedroom vacuumed and thats all i can do till its done, Rodney mentioned about a carpet today too i nearly danced off the chair LoL. It would be great if we could get one if we do i want a dark brown one and if anyone walks in with shoes on i will chop their feet off :D
well thats it no pics as decorator hasnt been today, bank holiday tomorrow but hes still coming how good is that?

Day 6

Today is day six of the decorating saga hes up to painting the skirting boards and doors, now the banister is no mean feat so i dont envy him at all, hes also coming Monday to finish painting also Tuesday he reckons he will be papering OMG i just cant wait i want to get back to normal in here i am sick of the mess i hate mess it literally does my head in.

Mmmm Rodney is off this next week i hate him being off for so long it disturbs my flow in the house lol, whats the old saying "A womans place is in the home and a mans is at work" rofl.
Everything i try to do he asks me what are you doing now? then he will say are you putting kettle on it just drives me crazy, its not like we can go out for lunch or anything with the decorator being here, he should have waited a few more weeks before he had time off,

Will have to add pics later tonight as i have forgotten to take any for the last few days.

day three and Rodneys birthday

I had to add this one Lewis with Grandads work boots on:)

Birthday cake and us more or less living in the study its such a mess:(

stairs

Living room



Today i am writing this although its thursday i didnt have time yesterday but i will pretend its wednesday day three, the decorator has put almost all the lining paper on hes just got the upstairs to do then he starts painting yipee we are getting there, i am sick of living in a mess,

Also today is Rodneys 52nd birthday he hates fuss but Ashley bought him a birthday cake which was a lovely thought and David came with a card and present which is always nice to see David, thank goodness V didnt come as well,
I have to go to the dentist (thursday) for my crown fitted not looking forward to that its the injection and my mouth being numb for hours after:(

Monday

Dining room

Living room

Monday this is what the living room looks like today hes completely stripped the living room dining room and the stairs and landing my goodness hes quick.
Tell you what if he goes at this speed it should be finished in about a week or so yippee!

Busy sunday

Everything out of the dining room into the conservatory
As i have already said the decorator comes tomorrow i will be so glad to get back to normal i am taking the curtains down gosh they are so heavy dh will have to take the last hook out as i just cant lift and twist at the same time, hes gone to pc world to buy Ashley a laptop as her other pc has to go as she needs that room now for the nursery she has sold it to Lauras mum so its going at the end of the week i will be able to help her decorate the nursery it will be fun to do all that again i have been looking for the Dr Browns bottles for her but they are quite expensive just for one there must be somewhere that i can get some as she will need about six i reckon, then she will need the sterilizing unit.

Dr Browns must have a website i will look for that later,



Lewis makes me laugh he keeps coming round for jubblies hes already had two this morning and its pouring with rain LoL Its great that he can come round here on his own now thats the beauty of only living across the road from him :) I am loving it, such a pity that Joshua doesnt live close by but then if he did it would be awkward with a mother like hes got:( i so miss that little boy it will be nice when hes older maybe he can come then that would be fabulous.



Oh well back to taking the front window curtains down see how far i can get with them. didnt mention that i gave the hifi unit to my mother it looks lovely in her front room, even better than here:) so i am rather happy that shes got it than me giving it to the charity shop and not knowing who has got it.

Friday.

This is Denise dhs cousin.
Today is Friday and i have done nothing much today i had all these plans to move the rest of the furniture ready for the decorator monday well Denise came this morning and stayed till 2.30 LoL we chatted sat out on the patio all day came in and chatted some more :) hence done nothing i cant wait till the decorating is done and dusted then i can get in the swing of things again all i have done today is make beds cleaned bathroom painted my toenails and chatted what a day dh will more than likely be home soon from work so i will get dinner ready and that will be another day over with, this is why i cant wait for things to be sorted out i feel like my life is just passing me by without me even doing anything,



Ashley has taken Lewis to Gullivers world today with her friends from school Tracy and her two kids maybe there will be pics hope Ashley takes some if she does i will get her to post some to me and show them tomorrow i love to put pics up makes things kinda real.



Just before i go i have been having some really funny dreams lately wonder if its the seroquel i will have to read up on it see if its a side effect. well thats all for today just a load of ole waffle.

Scan today

Today Ashley had the scan to see baby's face well its been seen and baby is perfect thank goodness, they also told us what sex the baby is they could see this week and its a..............BOY!!!!!! i am so excited to be the grandma of three perfect little boy's i am over the moon,

Ashley on the other hand was a little disappointed that this baby wasnt a girl but by the time i left her house this morning she became fine and did actually say its because everyone else was saying it was a girl but now shes thinking along the lines of well hes perfect everything is normal and thats the main thing which is exactly what i said,

It was a good shot too of the baby's face he looks like Lewis oh my i can't believe another little boy how awesome is that?

Oh and shes no name for him either yet she cant think of any LoL! So if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to say:)

19week baby belly

I have been round to Ashley's this evening to take a couple of baby belly pictures its hard to believe that 19 weeks have gone by already her belly is coming out now and she can feel the baby moving i put my hand there yesterday and felt a tiny movement its so exciting,

She goes for another scan tomorrow to check baby's face out the bones and organs are fine they saw all that last week but the baby was turned so they couldn't see its face and we need to see as Stuarts mother had hare lip cleft palette and we are concerned that it could be passed down, although Stu and his sister, Lewis and his sisters children are all alright but there is always that chance.

We may be able to tell what sex the baby is as well although as long as the baby is healthy that's all that matter's. Well until tomorrow ........

Messed about

Tinkle with the jumper that Loraine an internet friend knit for him.

Tinkle bob

Well since last night i have messed about with the laptop and this pc and yahoo well i now have two accounts i only want one i keep forgetting my password what the heck is wrong with me i just dont understand:(

Its like i have a thousand and one things on my mind yet nothing will stick in there,

Also my back and hips have been hurting a lot today and yesterday i dont know why its not like i am overdoing it this last couple of weeks i havent done anything except mow the lawns and get the house ready for the decorator which by the way hes rang and is coming a week monday woohoo finally i can be getting back to having my home back to normal:))

I have got quite a week of it this week waiting for packages to come, then there is shopping being delivered tuesday then therapy wednesday and i have bought a dog cage dont need one really (even though i have a dog) but i thought it might come in handy well when the decorator comes i can put the dog in the crate so he wont get under his feet well thats if he stays in the crate LoL

Then i got some makeup coming this week dont need that really got a big makeup box full of makeup i seem to be buying for buying sake lately and its not like i have money to burn

Well tomorrow i think i will take a pic of Ashleys baby belly shes already almost 19 weeks i mean gosh where has time gone at all?


David came with Joshua today it was nice to see them both of course the bitch didnt come as if she had i would have asked her to leave, dont want her here ,


I was thinking today its going to be awkard at Christmas as they usually come for supper Christmas day but i doubt whether it will be like that this Christmas day i bet only David and Joshua will come, if they come at all which will be sad as i like to have my whole family here for that day, even my mother comes all day,

well anyway its a few months off yet so we will see what happens.
well thats about it i think time for bed for me.

Dentist

Today i went to the dentist thinking i was having one of the gold crowns removed and replaced well i was in for a surprise as it wasnt one of the gold ones it was the porcelain one and he took it out and did impressions for a new one but he hasnt put a tempory one there hes not done anything LoL so i now have a stumpy tooth good job you cant see it as its not right at the front, i keep touching it with my tongue and i expect i will be like this now till i go back on the 21st August



Just before i went to the dentist my best friend Linda came over she was back from the wedding yesterday (in Cyprus) i havent had the chance to chat with her as she came at 1.30 and by the time i had filled her in on last Saturdays fiasco it was time for me to leave for the dentist, i cant wait till she tells me all about the wedding, she did manage to say that Cyprus was very hot too hot for her, can you imagine if i had been there OMG i would have been moaning for the full week LoL



This evening i went round to Ashleys and we did the painting in the kitchen its a lovely shade straw or somthing anyway its really nice i helped her clean her cupboards well i cleaned the cupboards lol and we cleaned the rest of the kitchen she was on about ironing when i left and i left at 10pm i told her not to do any till tomorrow I worry about her very much especially her being pregnant i also think its time that i took another belly pic as shes gotten much bigger and the baby is moving around a lot, i have felt the baby moving but didnt tonight she said it always seems to move around 9pm every night oh i do hope its not going to be one of those babies that wake at that time and have a cranky hour LoL.

Wednesday another scan day

Today was scan day again for Ashley we went together with Lewis (g/s) he was loving seeing the baby but the baby wasnt co-operating wouldnt open its legs so the sonographer could check whether the baby was boy or girl and its little face was embedded down in Ashleys womb, we both have said i bet its a no show baby until its born so we wont be able to buy pink or blue till its born:/

I nipped to Ashleys this afternoon as i saw Beckys car outside her house i like to see Becky as shes like family she was always at out house when they were young like from 12 years to 18 always staying over and they used to go out on the town from here, anyway she was with her neice Lily shes such a beautiful baby and is now teething,

Dh has been on call all week so i havent had to cook anything for dinner except for last night as Lewis comes tuesday and likes me to make a steak pie his favourite so thats what i did and as Stuart is on call also Ashley came too makes it better cooking for a few people as regards cooking for yourself.

Well i got the dentist tomorrow he said last time i went that i needed two crowns and one filling as the filling as broke and wants replacing while the crowns i had done twenty five years ago and they need replacing also the cost of all this is £200 which is a dear do if you ask me but got to have them done so got to pay the price.

well thats all for today i cant think of anything else to say.

Nats 21st.

Started off quite a good evening until our Davids g/f had too much to drink and kicked off with me and Ashley not saying anymore about the matter as its irrelevant SHE is nothing to me and is not welcome in my home AND an apology is in order i think which i know we wont get so she can go take a hike (and not come back)
