Jamiedodger's Happy Times 2009 Diary

donner - Emilys bedroom sounds lovely! I bet she couldnt wait to get back in it once the bed arrived:D I have my water set to heat up once for two hours, first thing in the morning. Even with 4 kids I find that this is enough.

Yesterday was lovely here, so took the opportunity to get outside!:) I tidied the garden up a bit and mowed the back lawn. Managed to get two loads of washing dry on the line too:D

Undercoated the front of the kitchen door yesterday, so just need to gloss that, but it will wait until next week. Friend popped round for chat last night, was lovely to catch up and we have made plans to go out next month:)

Have managed to get quite a lot done all in all this week. I finally got round to scrubbing the inside and outside of my front door and porch, which was filthy and washing my car (a rare occurance:D) also hoovering it inside too! The kids have been great this half term and I shall miss them when they go back on tuesday!

I decided to track my meter usage everyday this week....Off to read meters in a mo and another cuppa:D

Jamie the house is looking fantastic, you hve worked so hard to sort it out, must be really satisfying to see it all come toether so well.
I love the picture in the hallway - is it a Klimt? reminds me of the Kiss - did you get that from Ikea too?
I might need to schedule a trip I think;)

JAMIEDODGER

Thanks SM, I am really happy with everything I have achieved so far! The picture in the hallway is a Klimt, part of the Three Ages of Woman, and yep got it at Ikea:D You cant see all the plant which I love too....it is a Madagascan Dragon, still deciding on a name..... (I name all my plants:D) Kids think I am batty!!!

I will be going back on 12th March with a friend who hasnt been before!!!:)

Although I still have a huge amount to do pretty much everywhere, I am chuffed with the progress I have made so far....you should have seen it before:eek::D

Next room to be done is DD, it has been painted, the radiator painted, but I still have to do the glossing, hoping to have the flooring laid mid march, then I will be picking up her furniture probably in April.
