Carpet in

The carpenter / joiners are due any minute!  Looks like i'll get my office this morning.

After that we only have the stairs to carpet and the front door left to paint.

And the 350kgs of Ikea stuff to get built and carried up to the top floor.

Back update

I think my back is about the same as it was before the injections.  On-line it says up to a couple of weeks, the doctor said up to 2 months.  We'll see.  Lifting 300kg of IKEA boxes into the house yesterday didn't help.

Some people stockpile pasta, some bog roll.  I stock piled wine.  April stockpiled card board boxes.

This is stuff for Flo's new bedroom, and for April's new office / day room.  Once the carpets are in I have to get the lot upstairs.  And try not to bash the newly painted walls in the process.

Ikea face

April dragged me kicking and screaming to Ikea yesterday.

I vow to never go again!

We're moving Florence's bedroom to the top back room (April's old office) to make room for the new arrival in June (ish) and need to get her some new furniture.  April had pretty much decided what to get her anyway but wanted Flo to have a look for herself.

We're going to be ordering all of it online so at least I didn't have to walk around the warehouse section but we did buy a couple of things.  Florence got a new blanket and a new fleece rug.  April got a long shoe horn (she's struggling putting on her shoes at the minute) and I bought a mini cactus.
