We have had huge hold ups and delays because we are having some structual work doing, and following tests done on existing plaster and artex work it was reavealed we have a dangerous level of aspestos in our property, which makes me worry because we have aleady been living there for 15 years!! So that all had to be removed, and what a bomb site it looks!! I will take some pictures as the work progresses, but the builder has just called for the keys so they can start tomorrow. Derek and me were warned to wear hard hats and boots when we go around to our house, but as we dont have hard hats we will just have to be carefull. I have my turquoise Doc Martins though which should be ok! Anyway apart from taking photo's we only need to go around there to feed the fish realy, or pick up anything we need in our substitute home!...the aspestos thing was a bit of a shock though...When I was about 8 and in school our school had to be closed while aspestos was removed during refurbishment. These days its compleatly banned in all new property but back in 1986 when our house was built aspestos was still being used widely in building work, as we had this explained to us...Anyway there have been the fun bit of choosing new furnature, colour schems (sky blue and white) carpets ect. In fact only yesteday we went to carpet wright and both of us totally fell in love with a royal blue deep soft pile, chizzelled carpet. Now almost everything has been chosen between us (right down to the swartzki crystal handles on the bedroom suite) the best is yet to come. We have decided to go all hi tech for the bed and have chosen on the the latest "pop up TV beds"
below!!
The ultimate in TOTAL SLOBBERY!!!!!!!!!! *giggles*
This is a standard double be we have chosen the same in king size, which is slightly smaller than out old bed as that was super-dooper king size. 6ft by 7ft or so...it was nice having a bed that big, but a pain in the arse to buy bed linnen for unless it was off ebay, and and even bigger pain in the arse to hoover (Dyson) around. So although we have our flashy BED TV it will be a slightly smaller bed...but hey!!! COSEY!!!
Hope everyone is keeping warm and cosey in the freezing weather!
