The sun is shining, Chloe is asleep and David is eating soil in the garden. I couldn't be happier.
Our bedroom and Chloe's have both been painted. Furniture is still a problem and there won't be carpets down for a long time yet but at least the hard part is finished. Chloe has a blackout blind in her room but there was an error on ours so we've had to reorder. We're still taping up the dust sheet to keep the light out which is a real pain, especially when it falls down in the middle of the night.
All the floorboards have been screwed down upstairs which was a major undertaking - it means access to pipes etc. will be much easier in the future. Jobs such as this take up so much time with no visual change but they are vital in the long term.
Progress on the house has definitely slowed down now that Matt is at work and we still both want a life at the weekend. Last Saturday Matt spent the day enjoying fabulous hospitality at the FA cup semi final so no work was done. This weekend I am joining part of a hen do during the day so Matt will be left on his own with the kids for the first time - another day without any work. We're also going to Coventry on Sunday so this only gives us Saturday morning to achieve anything. Still, we are determined not to become slaves to the house and still do the things we want to.
