The boys and I are on holiday and have left Daithi in charge of finishing the house in 2 weeks he he he. I have no real idea on what progress has been made apart from one sash box has been fully painted and our broadband guy is due over to check that we can still receive the broadband signal (what will I do if we can't!!!!?).
And..... Rosa won Super Garden!!!!! well done her. I am looking forward to seeing what she comes up with for Bloom 2009!
Daithi is back at work full time now and so the work will definitely slow again. We knew that he would have to go back sometime but he was hoping that he could hold out until after the august bank holiday so we could complete the 2 downstairs rooms and move into them instead of the mobile home. I don't mind moving into the mobile home as long as our stay doesn't drag into the winter. In fact now that it is cleaned out and I have cleaned all the upholstery and curtains it seems quite a comfortable place to be. I still haven't tackled the bathroom of the place because Daithi had heard rats in the room and had shut it off! It could have been one of his wind me up stories however....
I am back in England with the boys. We have been here for almost a week now and I only just feel recovered from the journey. The ferry crossing (Stena Express) was lovely and smooth but the drive to Essex is sooooo long- we landed in Wales at 5pm and got to Linford at 11.20pm. The boys were great the whole way but were shattered the next day.
Not much has changed here: too many cars, too many people, too hot. But Ikea is still THE best place for cheap fabric, furniture etc. And Next choice is THE place for great discounted Next clothes. I bought a lovely jumper dress thingy reduced from £18 to £3! You can't beat this place for shopping and value for money. Sorry Ireland but you are a rip-off - even my groceries for the week, which normally cost in the region of euro 150 came in at £90! Wish I had a van big enough for everything!
