Kitchen install is getting me down, it's taking so long as everything is handcrafted for a seamless fit. Rewired, re plastered, new plumbing, outside tap and plug socket installed and a new concrete window sill cast ready for the wooden sill to go on. Can hardly move in the lounge which still has an oven sitting in it. I'm either out or up on the top floor to get some space and order.
I've had a migraine all week. Although I've been able to do things, I do then badly, I take a long time doing things and I spend a lot of time in between tasks with a heat bad, medication and lying down in a darkened room.
29 Saturday Having gone to bed with a migraine (cause yet unknown) we popped out to Dunelm to purchase blinds and exchange bedding (I bought the wrong size) had coffee and Gluten Free cake in the Next cafe. Home to a bath and spend the rest of the day lying on the bed and/or sofa.
Despite the chaos downstairs, there is always room for a cat and dog.
30 Sunday Awake at 6am, downstairs to blog, head still a bit groggy. Off to the flat to finish the cleaning, dog walk in the Forest of Dean with child 2, his wife and our grandchild then back to theirs for dinner, home late and straight to bed.
Bob desperate for small person to wake from their nap so he can play.
31 Monday I stayed in all day apart from a visit to the neighbours early evening. I sorted gifts and cards for posting, made some stuffed letters for grandchild and great nephew, sorted through my material box and admitted defeat with trying to salvage my Nan's sewing box and rehoused everything.
A simple design fault. 2 separate cupboards so no thought went into which way the doors should open, both on the left. Will be rectified, just waiting to swop a door.
32 Tuesday I popped out early to go to B&M and Aldi on the outskirts of the city centre, but I got in the wrong lane and ended up in the centre of Worcester, shopped in B&M and Asda instead and home by 10.30am. Sorted out some emails, bills and made a start altering a pair of curtains for our grandson.
Any bit of sun and they're in it, they did argue over what they considered to be the best bit.
33 Wednesday Coffee date with a Dubai expat was cancelled so I went into town anyway to post a parcel to child 3 in Australia. Quartz work tops installed and room has to be left sealed until tomorrow, so builder went home and isn't back till Friday. Afternoon spent cleaning, crafting, sleeping and evening spent in front of TV blogging.
It would appear a Hobbit has moved to Malvern.
34 Thursday We caught the train into Birmingham, I wanted to buy some material and Peter wanted to visit the fish market, we grabbed a coffee and had a picnic on the train on the way home. Evening spent in front of the TV.
Been looking for this type of material for ages.
35 Friday Coffee date rearranged I walked into town and back, I decided to take the dog with me as he's allowed in this coffee shop. Still got the migraine. Dropped my overlocker in for repairs and took my DBS to my new job. I said I'd like to start after half term, they seemed a bit shocked and told me the other candidate starts on Monday. They shouldn't have asked me for a starting date then.
Fridge, freezer, washing machine and hob to be installed. Tiling and fascias to be done by the end of next week.
On the blog this week:
I get fed up of people complaining to my face or behind my back about the content I post on Social Media, if they don't like why don't they just scroll on past? If I'm not your target audience just scroll on past
