Pictures from decorating at the weekend:

Dad laying carpet in bedroom for me :-)

Buster taking to the new bedding already - I think he approves!!

I love the new carpet and bedding. I need to varnish the headboard to match the bedside tables and I dont know if I like the brown paint I think I will change this to a Mocha - what do you think?

Love to all x



Canvas Project & 31 Goal updates

Hope everyone is well.

I have been off work for a week on sick. Ive not been sleeping so wandering around like a zombie, having a few panic attacks and me and Adam are going through a bit of a rough patch.

I have taken all the Christmas stuff down, I went and ordered the carpet for my bedroom that comes on Monday, Adams dad is coming over tomorrow to plaster around the new loft hatch so we can paint. I spoke to the plumber about my bathroom today and he is going to give me a ring when he is free to come give me an estimate on how much its going to cost - probably not cheap :-(

Last night I was up till about 4am making a canvas for my mam and dads wedding anniversary.



I have also been sticking to my weight watchers and walking the dog more. I got weighed at the dietitian on Thursday and I have lost 2 pounds.

Hope everyone is well

New Year Challenges

Hey All and Happy New Year!!

Marion Smith - APieceofCraftdotcom created a 31 days, 31 videos, 31 goals Challenge on YouTube I was mega tempted to take part but I am just too busy and dont have the time to make a video everyday - pathetic excuse I hear you all saying :-)

I will be challenging myself to get some things done but I dont think I would be able to get 31 done.

I started my list on New Years Eve and made a video yesterday but for some reason it wont upload and I am already 3 days behind everyone else I was supposed to start on the first so maybe next time.

 The ones in red I have done the tree down is the next task as its doing my head in the cats keep climbing it! I started Weight Watchers with old books I had from a few years back I am just going to do it myself as its too expensive for me at the minute to be going to the classes. So far I hate it lol because I love food and cant stand weighing out food! BUT I must do it this year!! Wish me luck!
