Getting there slowly.......

Well it has been 2 and a half months since I was last on my blog. How very naughty of me........

well let me firstly apologise and secondly bring you up to speed a bit.

*************************************************************************************

The house is now finally becoming a home.

Holly's (who is now almost 15 months old) room is decorated. Its currently a Winnie The Pooh theme. The stickarounds, lampshade, curtains and carpet are from Benjamin's old bedroom, her cot bed is second hand from my sister and so are the chest of draws, also her basket with her toys in was a gift hamper I had when she was born.

Benjamins bedroom is almost finished bar a blind for him. His high rise sleeper was gifted to us by Owens parents (this is Josh's bed), Benjamins bed was gifted to us by Owens friend, the shelves were brought in Focus's closing down sale and we brought the border for his room. Everything else Benjamin already had.

The living room is also looking homely but I think it is missing a rug but so far I'm happy with it. Small but snug and bound to be nice and warm come winter. Only other issue I have is I need to get our curtains and curtain rail back up as the old raul plugs decided to give way so currently no curtains only a net there.

And lastly but not least is a before and after of my dining room.

It did look like this (shamefully!)

It now looks like this

Although fingers crossed most of underneath the white table clothed table is full of bike parts etc and behind the bagged clothes is a tool box. Once Owens shed is finished they will all be outside in the shed along with the pushbike to the right of the picture and Hollys trike. Also the blue box that is hidden behind the door (you can just see it) has moved and made way for............

a 171ltr chest freezer. It has taken 2 x £60 shops to fill it to the brim but Im hoping now its full we can live off that until at least the end of November and then do a big shop to see us through December and January in case the bad weather hits us. Also we do still have our fridge with the small box freezer which I have now filled with bread and inside the chest freezer is 6 x 4pts of milk so we are ok for these as well as an abundance of vegetables and meats etc.

So the house is coming together nicely.
