Our first week of peace and quiet went off without a hitch, and was peaceful and quiet ... 
listen! The only noise being radiated is from my bottom 
, think I might have the start of one of those 24 hour bugs, cos I feel really 
too ... suppose that could be from the smell

, brought the paint half price of course (£7.00) and some filler. A friend gave us some slats for the bed, now just need a mattress. Hopefully gonna start stripping the paper off the 2 walls this weekend and then sand the head and foot boards down. I'm going to try and take 
's of before and after if I remember. Not sure how long this is all going to take cos we're expecting to be doing another house move sometime soon .... 
... not us, but our gorgeous friend Paula is moving from the big smoke (London) to a lovely little bungalow in the close behind our house!!!! 
... so many laughs ahead of us now and something to look forward too 
. Along with "The Sun" holiday 
the 4 of us are planning ... poor DH having to spend 24/7 with me, Mum and Paula! He'll return

CS ~ Stash
Sentiment ~ Create with TLC
Flowers & Pearls ~ Stash
Tools ~ Woodware Leaf Punch, Sansodor, Blending Stumps, Pencil Crayons, Sewing Machine
