my freedom cost me lol
Ordered a new couch which will be here come August / Sept time......14 weeks
https://www.sofology.co.uk/sofas/radley
We've ordered the 4 seater split and I've added a console in the middle of the couch so we have storage for our remote controls and it also has cup holders. Of course the hubby wanted recliners and electric ones at that. It's costing us £44 a month for 4 years at 0% but no doubt I'll get it paid off quicker.
The electrician is booked for the 5th July and the plasterer is booked in for the 7th July so we are slowly creeping ahead with getting things organised.
I have painted the inside of the spare rooms cupboard need hubby to put a strip of wood all round to lift the shelf unit up because at the moment the shelf is practically sitting on the hanging rail making it a pain to get the hangers off the railing. I've even dug out the wood and found a piece of lino in the garage which would be ideal for the bottom of the cupboard. I'm hoping that because he's seen I've been in the garage to get stuff out it might actually make him do it. If not I'll be getting the drill out tonight after the gym and doing it myself as I want to get the wood painted and the lino glued down so I can start moving some of my eldest son's stuff out of the double wardrobe he shares with his brother, as this needs to be dismantled and put up for sale as they have a built in wardrobe which is where they just chuck stuff into it......not any more this will be made into the youngest wardrobe and will free up a lot of floor space.NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.055 -

Beautiful sofa, looks very comfortable, I’d be asleep in seconds 😍 From past experience the best way to get a man to do a job is to start doing it yourself, especially if it involves power tools 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Well straps didn’t get done but he made my dinner, they probably won’t go up until the weekend now as he has a homer tonight and a homer tomorrow then it’s just me him and the youngest so we will be away out to do something as it’s very rare we get one on one time with KK
managed to sort out the avon delivery into piles which will make it easier for me when sorting out orders later on this week it’s all in the spare room
nipiing to dunelm to look at storage boxes after the nursery run as my IKEA unit is in desperate need for them as the wee ones keep sitting on the and they collapse and are very unsightly lol
then it’s school run, drop wee ones off pick another wee one up from nursery which I don’t normally do but mums asked for a extra shift and then it’s back home for a plasterer giving me another quote forgot he was coming will see what he says price wise and then I finish work at 6pm then it’s get ready for the gym but I need to walk as hubby has the car. I’m tired already lol
