What happened to the weekend then?

Blimey can't believe that it is Monday already! I realise we lost a whole hour with the clocks moving forward but honestly!lol

Been working from home today, so nothing much to report really, OH has had his car returned today from the garage all serviced etc including the work that had to be done on its wheel arches and wing mirror.....hmmm he managed to damage them reversing into the garage - god know how its not like he hadnt reversed into that space a million times before...oh well maybe the £1000 might make him pay more attention!

And I found out that an old insurance policy has matured! yipeee

The ensuite

The latest project to be started!

The Kitchen

All the kitchen worktops have been replaced, and so has the sink, the kitchen just needs a lick of paint and a declutter and its done!












The Master Bedroom

We have nearly finished this - just the last few little things really to be done in here, like carpet and accessories.

The Main bathroom

The main bathroom is the only room that is completely done!


The Garden

We have hardly touched the garden up until last week when we got a great tree chopper (Tree Doctor) in and he lopped all the fir trees at the back by about 8 ft , removed two from the front and lopped about 4 ft off the side ones!


The Hallway

The hallway is nearly finished just a few paint touch ups some light shades and new carpet and its good to go - however it is being taken over by things that are from different rooms while they are being attacked!














The back Patio

The dumping ground/back patio! hard to believe that we once used to sit out here in the evening to enjoy a bbq and a drink!




The pile of decorating stuff

Here is the pile of decorating 'stuff' that is currently taking up the back bedroom!


Where does all the time go!

I have decided that this blog will be dedicated to the big MOVE and that I will create another site for my crafting - as it was getting to confusing for me ...it doesnt take much!

So if you are interested in seeing how things are going in the world of decorating a complete house and where we are in the process of moving to Canada then this is the place to go but if you want to see what I have been up to with my craft then please go http://montysmumscraftretreat.blogspot.com/

You are of course welcome at both!

I will be uploading pictures here of the house as it progresses good and bad!

love and best wishes

Oops Sorry its been so long....

I cant believe that I have been so remiss in updating my blog! anyway things are moving on a pace with getting the house ready for the big move, the fir trees have been lopped and we actually got 2 removed, its amazing what a difference it has made. The bedroom is on the near side of being finished and then the ensuite is next on the list, we have all the tiles etc for that so hopefully it should be done quite quickly.

Been doing a bit of crafting including making some cards and a Easter Egg Box!
