Disaster Master - Update
Posted by Julia Wed, 07 Jun 2006 19:39:00 GMT
After a week of having to leave the house at 9am, going to Tesco for my breakfast, having the same conversation with the lady on the cafe till about when I’m due, and whether I know if Baby Davey is a boy or a girl, and then spending the rest of the day at Jim and Sineads house so the decorator could work undisturbed, I’ve finally got my house back! I’m very grateful to Jim and Sinead who have a very very comfy sofa, which is very conducive to day time naps, and sky tv, so I was able to spend hours watching about weddings and babies.
Jamie, the decorator, was here from last Tuesday (29th May) to yesterday (6th June) sorting out the damage. Whilst he was here, we also got him to get rid of the nasty terracotta paintwork, so we have a lovely neutral front room, and stairs rather than the orangey nightmare that was there before. All that remains to do, is get the furniture put back as it’s currently all stacked up in Baby Davey’s room, and put some nice pictures up on the wall.
Hooray!
Few things still left to sort…
I’m 38 weeks and 1 day now, so I’m actively looking for twinges now. Nothing’s happened yet, which is just as well, as it would have been horrible bringing a Baby home with decorating going on.
The weather was good over the weekend, so we were able to get the garden looking a bit tidier, (when I say we, I sat and pointed, and Ross did the hard work…).

We’ve also got a little sparrow who has moved into the guttering at the back of the house and he’s very noisey! He’s been christened Spartacus. He might as well have a name to go with the Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, and Hamster…sad as I am!
Good to see all that disruption came to a good endin; it looks nice! you’v got green fingers; dont tell mam!
