    Decorating is a pain but totally worth it when you stand back and admire it. Oh and that wonderful smell of new carpets :) We've only got the bedrooms, hall and stairs carpeted the rest is wood/tiles.

    Having a coffee break ;)

    I think I have done just about everything I can today to prepare for tomorrow morning.
    Just wondering now if I should dismantle my bed to make more room in the bedroom and make things easier to move around? I could kip on the couch tonight...
    However, I will be up early in the morning though, (around 5.30ish) as always, so should have time to dismantle the bed before the fitters arrive between 8 and 10 am ... decisions, decisions...
    Anyway, for now, I'm going to catch up with what you lovely people have been up to today :A

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    The holiday sounds like an excellent idea

    Hi everybody :D
    A Happy Carpet Day indeed :rotfl:

    The lads were here for around 8am and were all done by 10am, excellent job :j:j:j

    My best mate came round to visit / help as well which was great and we have been out for a bite, a blether and a couple of ales :D

    My wee place is looking great and I am so happy with the results :D

    Today I sent off some more details for the IP / trustee in the run up to my application.

    End of July, after I get paid and pay bills etc, we will be "pushing the BIG B button" and starting the process.

    Things are still difficult with my lass :sad::sad::sad:
    She says she is fine and just wants everyone to leave her alone for a while...
    When she is like this we know to do exactly that, leave well alone (and watch and wait) until she is ready to come back to us...

    I am trying my best to focus on finishing my home improvements project and the progress of the BIG B application... Planning for a wee trip away (hopefully with my lass)...

    Thinking happy to be happy... :A
