Decorating Mad

Today I started by emptying porch cupboard for a good spring clean and I wanted to paint it too. Its looks so much better and there was so much junk in there too!! Its amazing what stuff you keep and than it the end its just junk. And now when the meter person calls to call to read the meter at least they will now be able to read it easily and also I won't have to keep my fingers crossed either that when they open the cupboard a box didn't fall on them! Its a job that has been on my list for ages and now its DONE.

My next task while the paint was drying in the porch cupboard was the shoe cupboard as that was in a jumble too and needed a good clear out too! Its also looks so much better and there was a lot of junk in there too.

The girls stripped the bathroom wall for me, well I think Mills did most of the work as Bex was busy doing English homework. They both did an excellent job. Not much left to do as for prepping the bathroom. I stripped more of the paintwork and cleaned up.

At 5:30 I started preparing the dinner - Sam Stearn recipe - Chilli with tacos. Banana muffins with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal tonight all empty plates!!

Hubby called to be picked up from the station 6:30 as he was working in London today. After dinner we both spent time clearing the hallway and putting the tools and shoes back in the cupboards after sorting. I had already done my shoes and girls had did theirs but hubby needed to sort out which ones he was keeping etc... and the tools only he could sort out really but it was a good job done.

The girls are keen on getting two guinea pigs and did a 'presentation' after dinner as to how they were going to look after them and all the costings too!

A fantastic day with a tremendous amount achieved, hopefully tomorrow will be another productive day.
