St George's day

It's St George's day today and David is proudly wearing his England shirt. Matt is off to The George in Borough for a few pints with some of our friends after work. Alas, I will be at home watching TV.

Progress on the house has really slowed at the moment and we are both conscious of needing to keep the momentum going. The clanking floorboards in the kitchen and hall are really getting on my nerves. Everytime I use the microwave I step on the loose board and the sound reverberates around the house.

Mum is helping me choose curtains for Chloe's room. I can't decide between a classic pink gingham or a Cath Kidtson style number with tiny roses and candy coloured stripes. She's offered to make them but I am really conscious of the other quilting projects she is working on at the moment. We also need to buy a couple of floating shelves to display some of her bits and bobs and decide on a chest of drawers.

I really want Matt to finish boarding the loft. As soon as this happens we can move some of the boxes up there and make some space in David's room and the dining room. I pretty much know where to find everything now but it is still really frustrating rooting through boxes to find sellotape or a fountain pen.
