Here we are three days into the New Year had a fabulous time with the kids letting off party poppers and dancing around the living room and spent New Years day cleaning the house (of party poppers!) and changing everything around.  It never quite feels as if anything has been done unless you give the furniture a bit of a shuffle around! 

Anyhow I now have the top of the shelving unit from my kitchen dresser on the chest of drawers in my bedroom with all my books on.  Cream furniture was definitely the way forward, it looks fab.  I am so happy it feels like my old room back when I was a 15……. not that I actually had book shelves, more clothes strewn around than anything else (mmm, maybe this isn’t the image I want to portray for my website best leave that type of honesty to my private blog!....) 

When the shelves were in the kitchen they were full of random junk, paperwork, keys and the odd toy here and there.  Now my bedroom is my own personal space again, it looks amazing and the kitchen is free from junk so we are all winners.

Note to self never unscrew the Gaggia to refill the coffee when it has just heated up……. mini explosion and I am covered in coffee………

Still waiting for the Fridge Freezer to arrive on Friday, which coincides with payday although this is great news for stocking up when it arrives It’s not so good for the here and now as we are absolutely broke and there are two hungry children to feed.   So I have decided to use my time and money wisely pick up all the staples; pasta, potato’s, etc.    Time to revert back to a bit of the traditional home cookery I used to do rather than all the fancy stuff which although I love isn’t always the cheapest.  I need to dust of all the old recipes anyway ready for the site and so off to the shops for some onions!.........
