Hurrah, loft decorations finished at last

D'you reckon if we tell people we hand painted it ourselves they'd believe us?

New loft

I am a closet minimalist (if only that could be true in practice) so our new loft is making me nice and happy in it's glorious airy whiteness.

DIY, DIFM or WBDIITFP?

Sore throat, phlegmy cough, banging headache - I am off sick today. Which is made all the more boring and shit because the builders are in converting our loft. Despite the fact it's all going sort of OK I am beginning to resent having a house full of dust and bits of bathroom stacked in every room. Bf is total stressarama because he's taken the PM lead, whereas I have been waiting to be told what to do. Total role reversal from normal. I know how he feels, but I do love just being told what to do because it's easier. Except when it's "negotiate these down a bit". I'm not particularly fond of that bit. So it's getting to the point where I know I'm not a DIY girl, but am beginning to shift from our usual Do It For Me role to Why Bother Doing It In The First Place?

Sucked in by a Black Hole

Bloody Hell, have I really not posted a word since I got a year older? Well, I think I also forgot to say HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.

Shortly after my birthday the snow came proper. Nursery shut down for a day (flaky) and any work momentum I had been building up disappeared.

Felix' is copying just about every word. He has "manic half hours" - like a kitten going bonkers. He's going through his toy stage. As in, must-cuddle-them-all-at-the-same-time. It's very cute.

The builders started work on the loft conversion. With one slight wibble, it's going well so far. They're cracking ahead, and it's not as cold or messy as we thought. Bf initiated a search for the perfect children's furniture yesterday evening, and even though he wimped out after 20 minutes (to check the footie scores) it was very exciting.

And I'm trying to launch a new website. And it's totally manic.
