    I've had confirmation from the electrician so I've withdrawn my PBs 😭  Hopefully I'll be able to build them back up again.

    It's very exciting though, a bit overwhelming as to how to move everything around so he's got the access he needs.  I'll be making a start on that on Friday.  

    Just the thought that we might finally be able to decorate some rooms will be amazing.  Little jwil the other day asked why we need so many sockets in the room.  Then he suddenly realised that he'll be able to have an easier life and will be able to have things like a bedside lamp rather than a torch or the big light, and when he gets older he'll be able to work at a laptop etc.  He gets it now.

    I've made a good start on my Xmas shopping. Not too much more to get now so I'm pleased about that.  I will go to the farm shop and order our turkey joint at some point.

    I'm prepped for little miss's birthday as well.  Just need to book the bowling that she wants to do.

    I'm feeling organised, which is good.  I still want to have eveything completed by the end of this month.

    I have a few listings to do for DH, and a pile of stuff to go to charity so I must try and get rid of that before next week.  Every little helps!  School have asked for teddy donations for the school fete so I'm trying to persuade little miss to get rid of a few.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Sounds lovely that you are finally making the house more your own and safer too thanks to clearing stuff out that was no longer needed.
