    I have reclaimed my bedroom:j:j

    Well not quite mine, as mine used to be the one with en suite, however I now have one all to myself.

    DD3 has increasingly wanted to share with her sisters so have moved her cot in with them. If this is permanent arrangement I would like to invest in bunks. As floor space severely limited, with two single beds and a cot. DD1 also got a lava lamp for her birthday which I have found a bedside table for. (using one of my nest of tables from the lounge.) This has also eaten into the floor space.

    Bunk beds are a great investment, and always seem to be some about to pick up cheaply second hand.

    Despite not sharing now they have a room each they are still in use for sleepovers etc.

    Have reclaimed your room must be a luxury.. Enjoy!

    Last couple of nights I've ended up sharing my bed with dd1 and2, so think having my own room might not be as straightforward as i was hoping:rotfl:

    Fantastic news on the house sarahevie and yay to having a bedroom of your own again. I'm sure once your DD's settle with the new arrangements they'll be fine.

    !

    I'm on the look out for bunks. When we first moved I bought some white wood ones second hand for £65 but they were rubbish I got rid after a year.

    So will definitely research better this time.

    Thank you - we've had a pretty good sunday.

    Spent £20 which is a lot for us, but we gave it to a good cause.

    Our church had messy church this weekend, for the first time I was on the organising committee. We decided to do autumnal flower arrangements with oasis, fake flowers. Fruit printing. Cress planting. Prayer pebbles. Pizzas and duplo for houses. Also a story corner.

    I had to buy the things for fruit printing and cress planting. cost £10, plus donation £10.

    Really touched as a couple from church are sponsoring my girls for their junior mission, so they give them a couple of pounds a month and at the end of the year their yellow junior mission pots should be full.

    Just one more get up and its half term for me:D

    Might even get my house into my name over half term as had an update from solicitors they have the title deed change forms back from exes solicitors so it is literally just a case of deciding on a date. Should be next week as its not like anyone is actually moving.
