    :rotfl: He asked me if I was working, I think he thinks I'm a chippie on the side :rotfl:. Then I showed him a picture of the little piece (25cm x 15cm :o) I had him cut the other day that he thought was very funny - fitted into the wardrobe, complete with the iron standing on it. He said it was muy buen but he might just have been humouring me by that stage :D.

    The 16 shelves are on the floor next to their forever home. Am hoping the hadas estanteria* will turn up during the night :).





    * Shelf fairy. At least according to google translate it is :D.

    All the boxes bar two (with pictures, no great rush) are unpacked, just the clothes to go :T.

    However the hadas estanteria didn't turn up so I do have a lot of shelves to fit when I find the willpower. Currently on second cuppa, about to tackle 'Tower of Doom' paperwork and waiting on mummy osprey to shift her butt so I can see if another has hatched yet :D.
