Hello readers!
For some strange reason my pictures wont upload, but i will make sure i get them up tomorrow on James computer!Today we have prepped the fire - the hole was not big enough so we took to the wall with a hammer.. and James hurt himself lots! The plumber came round and said we had to do it (or pay two people for a days work) which was unexpected as now my two beautiful coats of paint are now covered in brick dust - gutted! Thankyou to Millie who has been a little star and helped me with painting, could not have done it without you! On a brighter note bens room is nearly done. James and his Gran put up the coving yesturday and we have put two coats of paint on today, one more and it will be done! He's having a dinosaur room and we found a wall mural to go on a wall. His rooms a light green and white and were getting dinosaur bedding and such like, hope he likes it!
Tonight we had guest stippers Katie and Andy who brought chinese (Eaten on the floor with paper plates and cutlery) and then were forced to finish our room ready for wallpapering tomorrow.
We have chosen the wallpaper for the dining room and living room, its going on the back wall of the dining room and in the alcoves of the living room. Link here:

Not going to attempt that until i have more experience wallpapering :)
We made the decision to push the carpets back until next wednesday - we have taken farr too much on and need an extra few days to get sorted. We aim to move our stuff into one room on Friday and make a bed up ready for the full move on Sunday, not going to bother unpacking until the carpets and decorating are done.
I am so sorry about the lack of updates and the rubbishness of tonights blog - i did not realise how tired one person could be until we bought this house, fallen into bed each night and fell asleep before our heads touched the pillow. I will be much much better next week i promise. I keep taking pictures so they will all be up when i have time and energy to sort through them!
Love you all
xx
