Decorating.........

I hate it when decorating is going on, the whole house messes up, and I cannot stand the mess, it has taken me and DD all day so far to clear up after the decorating, but not too much to go now, just seems so many jobs are building up and we are always so busy taking children places, meetings, school consultation etc there are just not enough hours in a day, and definately not enough days in the weekend. So hall is nearly finished, glossing done, walls re-papered in places and painted, and hall landing carpet ripped up. Now all that is left is to put up the blind in the hall, laminate the upstairs landing, and re-carpet the stairs with carpet that is buried somewhere in our garage, and that leads to another job, the garage and garden, such a mess you cant even get in there, the garden is also a mess, so much rubbish blowing around from this recent wind, trampoline needs putting away, slides, bikes, swimming pool steps, just a flipping mess. Oh yes the blind in the lounge also needs replacing, have the blind, but each slat needs trimming first so takes ages, and of course we wont be able to find the trimming tool as it will be somewhere in the garage that you cannot get into. So due to the decorating I have only made one card this week.....

Dont know why the lighting is so bad, perhaps because the weather is not too good here today.

Aaaaargh flippin Argos... ordered DD2 a bed for Christmas on 24th November for her and her OH as they were supposed to be moving into their new flat last weekend. We ordered 24th November and were given a delivery date of 3 December but unfortunately last weekend the people wouldn't move out as their place wasn't ready, so rang on 30th November to change the delivery date, was given the option of December 8th or 11th, so as we weren't sure they were moving in on the Saturday we said the 11th, a Tuesday. Well yesterday they rang to say they dont have it in stock.... how does this work, they have it instock for delivery on 3rd, but not instock for delivery on 11th, but... yes, they will have it in in time for Christmas. DD is pregnant and needs a bed, but they could just have the base without the mattress, but it is a matching bed base mattress type bed with underbed storage.... am I mad??? You bet your ass I am!! So she is now out bed hunting so we may be able to tell Argos where to send their bed too!!! he he. Other problem was the bed was ordered on DH's credit card, but we asked for delivery address to be different. Now Argos wont talk to DH as it is DDs name on the delivery slip.... how does this work eh??

Anyway, have to fly now, nearly time for school pick up and I have only just sat down.... have a nice day all xx
