I need some sleep!

In the last two weeks we have not stopped. At all. we got our house keys on Monday, then spent the afternoon making a list of what needed doing upon the discovery that the whole kitchen would need ripping out and the garage door doesn't work.

But. We're now getting there. In ten days we have ripped out and refitted the kitchen (all except for one worktop which was lost until this morning, it's currently sitting in my conservatory ready to be fitted next week) painted the conservatory, master bedroom, nursery and kitchen, papered the living room, stripped the hall and spare bedroom, floored the loft, plumbed in the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, bought the flooring for the lounge and the paper for the hall and light fittings for the kitchen and got the first load of boxes moved. We've have my aunt and two of my cousins over twice who have been invaluable.

we still need to put on kitchen cabinet doors, fit a door to the pantry and the wardrobe in the master bedroom, fit the floor in the lounge, paper the hall, paint the spare room, shampoo the carpets and do SOMETHING with the garage door, but we're getting there. My husband is back to work on Monday but my parents and his father are coming down next week and my aunt is going to come back over so I think we can do it :)

The smallest bedroom is now known as the nursery following a flyaway comment from me on day 1 and it's being taken in good humour actually. Win!

In other news, we've been to A&E once, while cutting loft flooring the other half slipped with a saw and cut his arm open. No stitches and it's healing nicely but there was an awful lot of blood. Luckily my nurturing instinct kicked in before my panic one!

Last night was the leaving night for my ex-colleague. A great night was had by all but myself and the 25 year old were both very rough this morning in work after a little over indulgence. Beteen us three we drank five bottles of wine, several pints, a few vodkas and Christ only knows what else. Bleugh... Home alone tonight so I've got Henna in my hair and am chilling. I had planned to have a glass of wine but I just can't face it so I'm saving myself for tomorrow when I see my best friend again :)

Wedding on Sat is looking like it's going to be good. Other half's already down there helping out and I've been given tomorrow afternoon off so am going to be there for tea :D

I've bought myself some cake stands, I've got two white porcelain high tea stands and one glass cake plate, all of which make me very excited :)

Now I'm off in the bath to shave my legs and wash the Henna out of my hair. Until next time, inspired by my workmates' kareoke last night, it's got to be-ee-eee, perfect...
