A non-crafty time...

Have had a few busy weeks of ups and downs, it started off with Charlie (my 9 week old great nephew) being taken into hospital with trouble breathing, they said he had bronchitis, he had only been off colour the evening before, so it as a BIG shock when he's mum took him to the doctors (thinking he might have a chest infection) to be told to go straight to the hospital. They couldn't give him anything because of he's age, apart from oxygen... he's doing OK now and was sent home 3 days later... I've popped round to see him, he still got a rattle in he's chest, but he's having someone round to keep an eye on him...

Then while driving Steven to Hayling Island to look at the disability sailing group, my car starting jumping and a light came on to say the engine had a malfunction, the same day hubby said it looked as we had woodworm in Sam's kitchen, so it meant a few phone call to sort out them and to cancel the kitchen floor layer...

On a upside, Steven went over the IOW sailing with the school (it was a last minute place, I only knew about it the week before)... so I thought I would go for it with decorating he's room, well he couldn't get any worse in sleeping than he's already been doing, lol... and that was before I knew the car and woodworm would have to be sorted!!!!

So on Monday after putting Steven on the school bus with he's suitcase, it was all systems go, I came home to do a couple of phone calls about the car and the woodworm... then started the stripping Steven's room of everything, apart from he's bed, so all week it was filling holes, rubbing down paintwork, cleaning walls, painting and then laying a new carpet (OK I went and got it in my little micra, but my mum laid it, and she's did a fab job, thanks mum)... also we put up Stevens new Ikea unit, (girl power)..

It was also a week of pulling UP carpets and underlay at my daughter house, but that was after lugging all the bits she had bought and was storing there, down to their garage...

As for crafting, nope had no time, sorry Gill I WILL do your May ATC as soon as I have some time and energy, lol... Oh an UP I did buy a funky chicken die that Carole just MADE me buy, cos he was so cute...


Another UP I think Stevens room looks fab, (even if I say so myself, lol) it looks so fresh, clean and modern, I will take some photos but might wait till I've changed he's bedding and curtains, as they are still Thomas the Tank at the moment, as I wanted to keep some things that were familiar to him. He was a little apprehensive going to bed the first evening back from he's little holiday (had a fab time, will tell you about that in another post with some photos they emailed me), but he must like it, as is sleeping a lot better than he was before he went away...

Another UP he car is sorted and wasn't as bad as I thought, as the malfunction of the engine was covered under the warranty... which surprised me, as the car was bought from another Nissan garage that had since folded... also Sam's house has been sprayed and the kitchen floor has since been laid, so today I've been lugging the carpets and underlay back into the house and re-laying, one room down, 4 to go (and the stairs, yikes)....


and on a DOWNSIDE, I'm walking round like a 90 year old at the moment, as got aches and pains where I didn't know places existed on my body, lol...
