    Lol which peach room?! Your monitor must be set differently to mine!

    LOL, the little room with the flowery wallpaper, is it pink in real life?!

    How annoying about the flooring! Can you call and ask if they actually still sell it?

    Dinahs house confuses me. From the front it looks like a bungalow then you look at the one from the garden and BAM it's a house! My mind can't process it :(

    It's a lovely house though, still all jealous of that kitchen! The picture you posted with the bronze and cream would work so well in there. Major congrats :D

    I'd ring up the company about the flooring - surely they wouldn't send a sample out if they were going to stop selling it?!

    That dress is amazing too! Love the fabric you used

    Ah yes, the little girls room, aye its Barbie pink, think thats why its growing on you! Thats the room we plan to make a bit smaller, to make a bathroom from.

    I only requested the sample Monday night - they must still sell it! Their website is just so hard to navigate!

    Congrats Dinah - I am delighted for you :)

    I am back from Ireland now so will be able to post more. My sisters hen party went really well and so did Max's christening. There was more than 60 people in the house for the christening. It was great!

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Ooooh, Barbie pink! When I was little my bedroom was super bright Barbie pink (I took the box with the Barbie writing along to B&Q to get the right shade!) and it was fab! Until i got 'too old' for it and painted it blue and green and got rid of all things Barbie (I call that time my wilderness years!). One day when we live in a big 5/6 bedroomed house (it could happen...) I'm going to have a pink hobby room! :)

    There's a house in town where I think a newly divorced lady must live because the garage door and front door have just been painted shocking pink, it's amazing!

    ETA: Hi CMD! Glad Max's Christening was good! Is everyone in love with him?!

    I had Rainbow Brite wallpaper. It was shocking!!!

    Hi Birdie! - yes everyone fell for Max. He is a very placid baby and only cries when he is hungry so we can take him anywhere. Then when he is tired he just wants to sleep on someone (but prefers sleeping on me) like a scrunched up koala so everyone loves that!

    Just realised it was about 10 days ago I ordered my veil patterns - wish they would hurry up and arrive! I could use something creative to do that doesn't involve me standing up.

    Tesco vouchers should arrive soon too. I don't seem to be getting as many points as I am expecting though, my total is only standing at £31.50 atm, and it should be more like £61.50, so here's hoping it goes up a bit. NIM is due about £103. I'd love it if we got £175 between us, then we'd be halfway to our New York fund, AND I'd be at my gold target for the year!
