Huge apologies to anyone who’s sent ATCs/swaps and/or PMed me. We’ve been having work done on our lounge and dining room and as the kitchen is accessed through both these rooms that’s also been out of bounds. So we’ve been ‘camping out’ upstairs where I set up a ‘kitchen’ area in one bedroom and a ‘dining’ area in another. We’ve been living off toast and sandwiches with a couple of meals out. All the rooms upstairs have been chock a block with things from downstairs as we had to have them clear for the work to be done. We’ve had very little internet as we need a booster for it to work upstairs and that’s been unplugged. On top of all that a computer I had as a Christmas present developed a major fault and had to be sent away for repair.
All the post we’ve received over the last week has been put into a cardboard box so that it didn’t go missing until I had chance to look at it. I’m sure I’ve had a couple of ATC envelopes as I recognise the writing - I’m hoping to sort through the mail today and hopefully that will answer some of the PMs I’ve had!
The messy work’s been finished now but we’re waiting for carpet to be laid and furniture to be delivered. So I’ve set up a patio table and chairs in the dining room. In the lounge we had more patio chairs but today I’ve changed that to a blow-up bed!It’s more comfortable than the chairs were, so now we’re ‘camping out’ downstairs LOL!
This morning I’ve tidied up a few kitchen cupboards as things were pushed inside them to keep them away from the dust. When did decorators start sanding walls and spraying paint instead of washing them down and using brushes/rollers? The kitchen door was taken off to spray it so I had to cover every surface with old blankets and sheets. It’s all looking nice now, we’re really pleased with it and can’t wait for the carpet and furniture to come.
Hope you’ve all been well and no one’s had any major problems. Hugs.
