Living life and loving life

The build has been going well and we now have decking in the garden and rattan furniture for when people come over and the weather is nice. Also it will be nice to just sit there to have a coffee, hot chocolate or even evenings with the family. We have ordered new furniture it’s like starting an absolute fresh house. I want to get my blog out there so I can share my stories and share photos of what’s been happening in my life recently. Yesterday my poor husband Jay took of the tip of his finger as he opened yet another new delivery 📦. So bless him he had to go the doctors to get something done to help stop the bleeding . So big hugs to my husband for being such a hero to me. We have more orders arriving in the post or by delivery . In the transformation of the ground floor of our house we have renewed all the plugs to a nickel colour but a brushed nickel. Friday the floor had resin put down so that has been drying off . Although it should dry in two hours and the chap is due back on M

Well the weekend has been nice and a little calmer than it’s been but it’s still unsettled as the house still needs to finished and we are into the 6 th week. Jays dad is coming over for dinner and we have our granddaughter as my daughter has gone to Alton towers and you know what there like . I never remember going places like my daughter and not having my kids with me. The kids become important and they come before me . As you may know we have 4 kids ....3 daughters and one Son . Our son is the only one that lives at home with us and the girls have there own lives. My granddaughter Evie-mae is having a great time today playing minecraft and singing Ed sheeran songs. Today the flooring chap was supposed to arrive to latex the floor ahead of this Monday. We have waited all morning and it’s now 12.15 but he hasn’t arrived yet . So all that emptying the room and moving the virgin server box has caused our internet to stop working which brought the house to a melt down. We have to wait n

The house is progressing now and we enter into week 6 tommorow but so much has changed for the better for our family. It has been so much easier to have a home which is a little more Minimalistic as there is less to manage. What I have found is that we have so much we don’t even touch and this is what clutters a house .Do you have a clutter cupboard or draw or draws ? You know that draw that overflows with things dated from 10 years ago and you don’t know why you have it !!!! Most days have been super busy with a hype of people in and out ...different trades doing their thing. My original plans of of an industrial space is not really turned out lick that although I would still love to have a mural with a geode on. Our issue is what wall does this go on ? am I making the right decision about my choice of mural. It’s strange how along the way something happens and how one wall colour can have an impact. The paint colour is Goose wing but there was a whole selection of colours to choose

Even though I try to be positive it is difficult every day with tiredness , pain in my joints headaches It continues to be cruel . Having the house done will help me to cut down on the difficulties I had going to bed . I struggled with the stairs which is one of the reasons for the changes in the House and our bedroom moving downstairs. I think it will be easier for jay as everything for me will be on one level . M.E can be cruel and it is difficult watching people of my age on Facebook being able to so many things. Even though I don’t really leave the house unless I have a Doctors appointment or Hospital check up . The things I would love to do is walk with jay hand in hand like couples do. Jay has been a rock for me and emotionally it has helped my situation and I have grown to accept things havnt really progressed for me in the best way with my health . when it comes to walking I know we have amused ourselves with other interests. I love to blog and read and we watch so much drama

The kitchen is really taking shape which is great to see and the space it provides is amazing . The electrician was out and and the units were being put up by the Ashco builders. Another new thing was to see how much difference is made by seeing better and new skirting board . It made so much difference to the rooms as the bedroom was done as well as the kitchen . Here are some updated photos that show the gradual change in just a days work. Today we have the decorators out to paint the kitchen and the cooker should arrive during the day . Although the cooker won’t be up and running just yet until the electrician returns next . It’s really fresh and it’s looking beautiful already and we are yet to move some things into position . The flooring will be done next week as well as the bathroom , bedroom and and tiny hallway . Much praise to the workmanship that has gone into the design and building and electrics . To begin with the two guys Danny and Rhys worked so hard and have put so much

Caleb has started college for the first day yesterday and the house continued to progress and shape up. Caleb didn’t say much about his first day at college with the exception that one bo.y asked his name. For privacy reasons I won’t give a name. The house during the day took shape the other units went up and the base units went in. So yesterday it was nice to see the progression that had been made . The paint has been ordered and I have gone for a grey but not a tinted grey but not a dark grey so I’m waiting to see what that will look like . During my blog I will name the paint colour and it’s make
