Ive neglected this for a week or so, mainly because ive been a bit lazy, not done much & its been a hectic week.

Decorating the boys bedroom has come to a stand still, we ordered a new bunk bed, waited a week for delivery & when i arrived it is the wrong one, so has to go back. Were now waiting for the company to pick it up again, before we can order another. Of course i didnt notice it was the wron bed untill i had dismantled & got rid of the old bunk, so now the boys are sleeping on mattresses on the floor, which also means there is no space to build the 3 new chests of draws *sigh*

We also had Nathan & Thomas's appeal for a school place on Friday, the letter stated it was more of an informal discussion, so when i walked in & it looked like a board room meeting i went to pieces. I have no idea what the outcome will be, we didnt get informed there & then, we will get a letter hopefully tommorow or Wednesday. Im so on edge about it though, if they dont get a place at the school Chloe & Jack are at it means changing schools for all of them & the only school with for them all is over 2 miles away.

To top off all of that i now have a stinking cold!!!

The crafting has been a bit non productive this week too, i have a huge list of things to do that require a sewing machine & i dont have one right now. I usually borrow my mums, its been living with me for the last few months, but she decided she needed it back (tut tut). I really need my own machine, i keep looking but end up feeling swamped with all the different things they can do, Lol.
I have a small oval chest that i am planning on decorating with decoupage (thanks to some insparation given by a very lovely lady, who decorated a table & shared pics) I made a start on sanding it down yesterday, im hopefully going to finish the sanding this afternoon & start painting tommorow.

Anyway i think thats the highlights from last week.
