.....12/12/08.....

No, I haven't fallen off the edge of the planet......still here.....stressed, busy, stressed (repeating myself, yes....just so you get the point !!!!! I have lots of excuses......

Mummy is poorly sick and in hospital, 4th week now so I am spending as much time as I can there.

School, lots of work done and to do. We have finished for xmas now but unfortunatley my attendance had to take a bit of a nose dive last week cause of the above and generally being exhausted!!!!!

Kitchen renovations.........as per usual I do not do things the easy way. This week we have the builders in to fit my sparkly new cuisine !!!!!!! Fabulous thought but the reality is we are living in a......not sure what best word describes it without obsenities.....basically a building site !!!!! First the kitchen innards are all upstairs, some in my scrap room, some under my bed, some in the spare room.....in other words everywhere apart from the kitchen where it is meant to be. We are having a newly plastered ceiling in the kitchen so in our wisdom we thought we would save a job in the new year and have the lounge done too......what a great idea......NOT!!!!!!! Therefore the whole lounge barr the sofas are in my scrap room, some under my bed, some in the spare room.....get the picture???? NO???? well here is some proof, this is my study/scrap room......'WHERE??' I hear you cry....'exactly' I answer. And this is just one room......the only place I have to sit is my bed which is surrounded by school books. And don't get me started on microwave food.....which to be honest has not been too bad but can't wait to cook something 'proper'.













I wish I was better at the before and after thing but I forget the before bit so here are some of the during.........

Nasty cupboards are no more.....




















Nasty textured ceilings are no more.......


















Once there was a door....but now no more (it has settled a bit more since it was done so doesn't look quite so obvious!!!!!)


Today they made my cloakroom into a temporary a utility/laundry room (if you can call 3 years temporary.....we need to save for an extension!!). Well, that is one less toilet for me to clean....yeah.

Tomorrow the floor goes down and then the units can go in........and it all needs doing by Friday.....cause then the cloggies arrive and at the moment they would have to share their bed with a dinner service, half a welsh dresser and some flat packed kitchen units.

And I need to paint at some point too.

Will show you the finished result....... :o)

Back at the hospital first thing in the morning so off to try and find the shower........?????

Night x
