How come it seems to be nice on friday and monday and not so nice in between? actually i do remember some sunshine yesterday so i am just being a bit silly. we were too busy doing stuff indoors though to get out and enjoy it- which is a shame. i said that we need to be less focussed on household tasks and more focussed on enjoying the weekends! i think we will be in future. this coming weekend i have my weekend treat birthday present and i am really looking forward to it!
we had a totally wasted trip to ikea this saturday. whatever made us decide to go on a saturday i will never know- it was a mistake we wont repeat in a hurry! they didnt have what we wanted in stock though so we will have to go back at some other point (probably before we get our new car when long flat-packed bookcases wont go in any more!) to collect our stuff. we have mentally spent a lot of money, even if the funds are still sitting in our bank account!
but the gorgeous tables which we bought in greenwich on my birthday have now been 'dealt with' (they are very rustic and needed some sanding down and something attached to the bottoms so they wouldnt mess up our newly cleaned carpet!) and are sitting looking wonderful in our newly decorated lounge. We had both sets of parents over helping us have lunch and drink tea (one heard the others were over and were round like a shot!) and re-arranging the furniture in the lounge and upstairs. we had the bed built in the spare room as we had guests staying on saturday night (some friends came for dinner and to watch a film...)
yesterday involved meeting some new people from the area at church and at a housegroup in the evening (a vicar lives directly opposite us and invited us along). ended up having lots in common with one couple in particular who know some people i know very well... what a small world it is. also did jobs and spent time with my brother who came over to see the updated house!
