Day 10

Charlie and I spent a lovely morning with my friend Kathryn, Jessica and Daniel. It's Kathryn's birthday so we headed to Beetham Nurseries for morning coffee! Jessica and Charlie really enjoyed playing together and Daniel enjoyed watching them from his pram so a good morning was had by all!

We just had one of the labourers here today and he's worked really hard! It's been hot so i've been a very good customer and kept him supplied with cold drinks this afternoon!! He dug out all the rough soil in the base of my craft room then used some of the dash as a hardcore base ready for the concrete to go in tomorrow! A guy also came tonight with Jason, the main builder, to look at the block paving. He's coming tomorrow to straighten and tidy it all up. :D

Day 9

No pics today! The pebble dash is now completely finished on the wall! Yay! My craft room is getting done once more building work is done!

Day 8

There's been real progress today! :D The pebble dashers were back (and are coming tomorrow, a Bank Holiday, too!) They've dashed all the inside walls today except for half the driveway and the posts which will be finished tomorrow. It looks so good, we're really pleased.

Howdy Partner!

Yesterday I spent quite a bit of time in Charlie's room having a sort out in preparation for Courtney's arrival (as they're going to share a room initially, we live in a dormer bungalow and 2 of our bedrooms are upstairs,as Charlie is only 3 we feel he is too young to be on a separate floor on his own. When the children are teenagers they will have a room each upstairs at which time i'm quite sure we'll be pleased to have them on a different floor, LOL!!)
So back to the sorting! Charlie's dressing up clothes have always hung in his wardrobe and he plays with them occasionally. I decided to take them off the hangers so he can play with them more often. He had great fun trying on all the outfits, from the Easter Bunny to Mr Tickle, Count Dracula to Woody! LOL!

Day 7

The poor builder's haven't been able to come the last few days because of the weather :( They could have come yesterday but the pebbles for the dash hadn't arrived in time! Today they came at 4:30ish to make a start on the dashing, they didn't leave until it started to go dark. By the time I went out to take photos is was dark, lol!

Courtney Grace L

I've been dying to announce our news but we wanted to read the report first and make sure all is well! We've known for 2 weeks so you can imagine how hard it has been holding it in!!
We have been matched to a little girl called Courtney, she is 17 months old and sounds delightful! We are giving her the second name Grace as we gave Charlie his second name too. We can't wait to meet her.♥ There's a lot of paperwork to go through first but we should have 2 children by Christmas! Charlie is going to be a wonderful big brother!♥

Drawer topper finished :D

The top of my drawers are beautiful and it does seem a shame to cover it but I want to protect it as this piece of furniture will be functional and things will be stored on top of it so that's why I made the 'topper'. I'm really pleased with it finished.
