Worm's World

As the annual St. David's Day picture tradition is strong in school across Wales, but we don't live in Wales, I always make a point of taking a photo of Brit, in a relevant top (and it appears blue jeans) every year. This years photo Super handily for us the new Primark in town randomly had Welsh flag t-shirts in so I didn't have to scour the internet or hope Pete was gigging in Wales at some point before March the 1st. 2015, 2016 for comparison Awwwm look how he's grown xx

We're on the home straight now, walls are painted (with a few bits left to sort) and the brilliant white sets off the tiles fantastically - and the art from Quantum Prints looks fantastic Last bits of painting, the skirting, the shelves for the alcove (and Pete was so proud he only needed to buy one bit of wood, since his wood hoarding has paid off) and a cabinet to hold towels etc so Saturday hold a trip to IKEA on it's cards to buy either this one  or this one (if you have a preference let me know on twitter - I'm too tired to make any more decisions)

So, the fitters were all done and dusted just before Christmas - the bath & shower combo, sink and toilet are all in and working - and we've been getting used to the space a little bit more. We've plumped for two shower curtains and some of the excellent Croydex Press'N'Lock products to make it usable - the joy of having tiles everywhere is the suction pads work really well. They look smart too. So now we just need to paint it, add shelves into the alcove and add skirting boards and a linen cupboard of sorts but the difference in the space, and the feel of the room is amazing.

Merry Christmas everyone!! We've got a Pirate themed Christmas this year - so I hope everyone is eating as much chocolate coins and drink as much rum as we are!

The white grout makes them pop but none of the pictures do justice to the deep inky blue of the tiles. What's left to do is the floor (white tiles) - which should be done by the end of the day and the putting the bathroom pottery and the shower in place (Thursday's job I guess) and then the fitters from Wickes are done. Then, after Christmas we'll need to paint it (white) put up shelves in the alcove, find some baskets, and some storage and sort out bit and pieces and then it's done - and it will be so very nice to have a bathroom upstairs again. We're lucky to have a cloakroom downstairs, and lovely neighbors who've let us use their showers - but we brought a house with a upstairs bathroom for a reason. These last few weeks have cemented the idea that we made the right choice in this decision.

Wow! What a wonderful weekend! The kitchen was a success! The Party was a success and the cake looked amazing   New Train sets & Onesies were amazing... Thank you everyone who helped us celebrate our amazing son's 2nd birthday.

I assume naming tiles is not as exciting as naming paint but these really are a lovely shade of dark blue. It's just tiling and fitting to do now I think from the professionals...
