I was wrestling with the vac and the steam cleaner Wish, so now a little light refreshment wouldn't be a bad idea! Laughing

Well you made it in at the right time because tonight I have Sancerre (passes over glass)

How was your day ? Thanks for trading the witch doll btw ....and do you have a set of new MI yet (the pink cupid, heart pouch etc ?)

Oh lovely

No problem with the trade, although I'd convinced myself this morning that it was Tanya rather than you
I remembered though once she said it wasn't her.

Frannie kindly gifted Zoonie an apron and a heart shaped pillow, but I don't think I've seen the cupid doll?

My day has been a bit same old/same old. Builder finished tiling and grouting the floor and window sill today (plus the area that's serving as a skirting board) oh and the shower tray.

And he put up a corner cupboard too (am taking photos for a slide show of progress)

Tomorrow he'll tile the shower area (walls) and then after that it should come on in a huge leap.

I like sewing, but I enjoy hand sewing best.

Today I also made calls about the TV needing a repair (for the inbuilt DVD) and the kettle which has a fault - the lid wont open. I bought it from House of Fraser on line, the lady on the phone said, can you take it back to your nearest store? pointed out that I'd bought it on line because our nearest store is a round trip of nearly 90 miles Doh!

My neighbours are always popping over to ask me to fix things that are not working for them LOL...I feel like "the Clock Winder" sometimes

Woo Hooo Armell. I wish I had a B-I-L who was in any way useful.....1930's sounds FAB.

Gill - I have you down as a little more comtemporary, but still traditional...am I right ?

I'm usually the Mrs. Fixit! in our house, but sadly neither can be done, and to be fair, under guarantee, why should I meddle with them?


Army, that will be lovely then when it's done - ours is costing an arm and a leg, take it from me.


OMG nearly had a Bikkie moment, IMOM is making me roar with laughter.

Well yes, you would be right.

The thing is, it's the main bathroom we're having done and so it has to fit with the rest of the house.

The hall, stairs and landing are fairly grand really, it was all done before we bought the house, so it's no good going ultra modern (with Georgian style windows and fancy coving etc.)

The most radical style decision was to for go a bath and just have a very large shower

Neither of us bathe really, IMOM never, and me err, possibly when we go on a beach holiday - we both shower.

although the cupboard in the corner is a curved front set on the corner, not straight, and the shower floor is mosaic tiled like the windowsill and the skirting board area - which is the same granite as the hand basins are set into, and, there are cupboards down the side of the vanity area too.

I just typed some revisions.

The other luxury bit is that there's electrical underfloor heating too.

Am kind of pleased you like it Army. The limestone, granite and the wood are all lovely Smile

I really can't say, it was just the first thing that came to mind ... quite silly though, isn't it? At least it will be unique.

Names are a funny thing really Mindy - I chose Zoonie's petling name after Socks who we're fostering, only Zoonie's pet is named Sox.

Sending Mrs SIB the very best of British! (luck, obv) let us know how it goes,

Off to eat, see you x
