Nearly upto 2 years since I first started this little blog type thing.

Daughter is now 7 months old, demanding all my attention, and as such not much has really progressed.

Don't remember if I posted this cheap pine wardrobe I bought off gumtree for £40 (looks so much better in the pics than the reality!)



It sat in the garage a year until this weekend it had a spruce up and pushed into action in the spare room.

£11 of chalk paint later (ignore Kat off eastenders ironing board.. I hate it as much as you)



Goes to show that you can save money if you're prepared to do some elbow work.

I also got told to put up some picture frames, as apparently paying £1800 for wedding photos 2 1/2 years ago they ought to be shown.



Never am I doing this again, much measuring, much levelling... and the walls no where near vertical.

Other than we've been enjoying our half finished garden and the Death Star

It goes like this... Measure once, measure again... measure again, check the level 3 times... realise ceiling isn't perpendicular to the floor... give up and freehand guess!
