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.
