A Beautiful Sunny Day ~ Honestly!

 

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you`ve all had a lovely sunny day today.  It`s been really lovely here, really warm and sunny, just what the doctor ordered eh?!  Actually, it seems we have Jeannette (Jottings) to thank for it.  You know what I mean Jeannette...lol!

Jim and I had an early start as we wanted to go to Homebase and B&Q to get some more bits for the hallway.  We went to Homebase first to take back some unused rolls of wallpaper and bought a new curtain pole and net curtain rail and the laminate flooring.  It`s called Rustic Oak and is just the colour I was looking for, it`s an excellent contrast to our woodwork and will match the carpet beautifully.  We then went to B&Q and Jim bought a couple of things to use in the fitting of the flooring and we were supposed to buy a trap for our rat but quite forgot.  It seems that he/she has had a reprieve until Friday when I go into town and buy one.  Afterwards we went into Mothercare and bought Roman a pushchair.  Kerry is over the moon with it because unlike the usual buggies that have been around for so long, this one is actually a pushchair like the old-fashioned type. They are a lot nicer looking than the old ones that I remember my little brother having but are built of the same principle.  We road-tested it with Roman sitting on board and he loved it too, good job as he`ll be the one transported in it....lol!

                                    

After all the shopping we went to the garden centre for a leisurely lunch.  It`s so nice to go there and as they know usas do all the regular customers there, and most importantly they make great coffee, lovely grub and all at a very reasonable price.  Once we got home Jim decided to take advantage of the lovely weather and mow the lawn, I brought in all the dry washing and hung out another lot, you know me and my love of fresh dried clothes straight from the line, the smell is heavenly.  Who knows tomorrow it might pour with rain so like Jim, I took full advantage.

                               

This afternoon I finally found a pair of curtains that I liked.  There weren`t any in B&Q so I went online to buy the ones I`d seen yesterday but when I looked again it seems I hadn`t read the the small print.  Like a lot of adverts it said from £15 which I took to be the smallest size, it wasn`t, it was only the price of the tie-backs.  When I looked properly I found they were more than I was prepared to pay so I started my online search again.  It didn`t take me long either,  The second site I found had a pair almost the same as the other ones and this time they were lined and were in the sale.  I`m quite pleased now that I had to look again because I`ve ended up with a much better pair.  The only drawback is that I have to wait up to a fortnight for them but I can wait.

                                       

Much later this afternoon I was playing with Roman on his little swing.  He was so funny as he built up quite a speed and was soon swinging so high I had to slow him down.  I had visions the swing going right over the top...lol!  Of course he didn`t want to get out when it was time to go indoors but it was time to get ready for bed and he soon found something else to keep himself amused.  He went to bed this evening quite exhausted and at the moment he`s snoring his little head off in the other room.  Tomorrow he has his appointment with the Dermatologist and I can`t wait to hear how he gets on.  As for me tomorrow morning is shopping at Tescos...ugh!  I`m not really in the mood for it but like Old Mother Hubbard, my cupboards, though not quite bare, aren`t far off of it so shopping I must go.

                           

Well, that`s enough from me tonight, I`m off to read the rest of your journals now.  I hope you all have a very nice evening, whatever you`re doing.  Bye Bye for now. :o)
