Everything came off the walls

DIY Hell


Haven't posted a new blog in a wee while...
The Bank Holiday weekend was taken up with sanding, dusting, furniture moving and (eventually) painting in the lounge and kitchen - but we only got as far as the first coat so we're going back for more this weekend! We've also taken the plunge and are "getting a man in" to quote for the more complicated stuff like window ledges, bathroom etc...
Jo's work is still heading on an upward curve towards various Spring deadlines, and Tim's spending a few hours every week practicing his new dance moves ahead of May's big competition. Tim is also planning Toby's stag weekend, which will be fun once he has the first clue about how many people are going to come, and where we're going to take them.
As I write this, there's still no sign of Tim and Nina's baby #3....
