Today started well as daughter and toddler went trampolining and then out for lunch so I had the morning until 2.30 pm alone - well the dog kept me company. Me and dog went upstairs (this is unusual as she is not allowed, but I wanted peace not howling!) and I sorted out the 2 suitcases that OH had retrieved from the loft full of my summer clothes. Have re-packed one case with all the thick winter stuff, e.g. velour trousers, thick woolly jumpers, hats, scarves, gloves etc. and re-hung all my nice summer tops and dresses in the wardrobe. I packed my suitcase for our holiday, as we are off to North Devon tomorrow (yes, I know it's raining) for a break in the caravan. Have packed the dog's box too with food, biscuits, brushes, comb and towels so she is ready to go. Sorted out the bottom of the wardrobe, as I have not seen it in a while - it has been so full of junk! I have too many clothes so some I have stored in the settee units until I come home. They will go on eBay or to the charity shop. Felt very productive doing this and now have a good idea of what I actually own. I even found a lovely, smart, M & S, white jacket that I have never worn, as the sleeves are too long. It's ready to take to the dressmaker for altering. I also found a hip length, white casual jacket that I had forgotten about, so I am all ready for the wonderful summer we may or may not get lol.
My back room, the dining room / play room has seating units which lift up for storage. We had them years ago when our children were small but threw them out after a few years. I was so sorry I did, but 2 years ago I saw them on eBay and bought them back. Every seat lifts up for storage and each unit can be moved around to make a bed for visitors, corner unit etc. They are old - from the early 80's MFI furniture - but if they make this design again I would definitely buy it. It is fantastic for anyone needing more storage or with kids as the toys just go inside at the end of the day.
My Seating Units With Storage Space Inside
Spent the evening drying daughter's washing for her as she had to work tonight. So much washing to dry it is like a laundry here. Think this is the first lot she has washed for 2 weeks, as she has been so busy with uni work. It's raining hard here and we have had rain on and off all day. On a positive note the grass seed we planted has started to grow - the hot sunny days and now the rain seem to have done the trick. Fingers crossed we may get a lawn again soon. Our lawn disappeared after the very wet winter and we just ended up with mud and moss. I am tempted to buy artificial grass but OH says it is very expensive.
Bye for now All the best x
