Nothing terribly exciting to report. I have had a phonecall from a decoratory-type-bloke who has quoted £150 for doing my room. I am waiting to see if anyone else asks for the job & how much they'd want to charge. *nods ( Read more... )

Why is it that whenever I know I need to get up in the morning I always wake up in a flailing-confused manner some time between four and five? Does my brain think that I am infact going off to work in a cotton mill somewhere & thus I need to be up at dawn? Grump. Generally I get back to sleep, thankfully, and then wake up a minute or two before ( Read more... )

I am sitting here feeling a touch smug. Next to me is a bedside cabinet. It is my bedside cabinet. And I maded it all by myself. It is very pretty and I got to play with the electric screwdriver which makes a splendid noise (sort of zzbrrrrrrrrrrrrrwoo) & also does not kill my wrists dead. I have never tried putting together a piece of ( Read more... )

There is nothing quite like dancing about to angstyemoteenagewoe music. And indeed painting to that same accompaniment. For yes, the last of the painting is done. Pretty blue wood, pretty blue woooooooooooooooooooooood. I really need to get hold of the decoratory bloke to arrange about papering. Glagh ( Read more... )

This morning was spent waiting about for the post to arrive. And avoiding doorknocking evangelists who I would like to think were out in force in the hopes of being mistaken for postpersons delivering the latest Harry Potter and thus getting people to open their doors. Bah. When the book put in an appearance sometime around noon I settled down ( Read more... )

It was all go here last night... First off, my brother and my aunt appeared. Bean was very impressed with my new bed & the blue paint. Oui. Then, as they were going out again, daddy appeared, to collect Chloë's NRA folder. So I went and rescued that and then made daddy go and admire my bed & my painting and then Katie appeared and she was also ( Read more... )

Golly. The men from M&S are here. They are early - half an hour before the start of the four hour time slot I was given. They seem to be building me my bed. Although possibly they are also being confused by the fact I am obviously a small child but I am alone in the house. Mumph. And I also very nearly answered the door brandishing the filter ( Read more... )

Huzzah, for the second coat of the pretty blue paint is done. *does little celebratory dance* I am going to leave it drying until about half twelve/one and then get on with reshifting furniture & vacuuming & so on in order that it will be possible for my new bed to be put into the room. Oui ( Read more... )

Paint paint painty paint paint. That is quite a good summary of today I feel. Oui ( Read more... )

I have a habit of curling up very small in my sleep. When I woke up this morning I was scrunched up at the bottom of my sleeping bag & was momentarily utterly confused & slightly worried I might be trapped there in the dark forever. Thankfully I then woke up a bit more & managed to escape & go and have breakfast ( Read more... )
