   Keep tellin' yerself that Sunshine.  We all know the truth. 

Anyone who's unsure - Mrs. B was researching the best new toy for him just last week because he wasn't sure what was hip and best.  Saw it with my own two eyes.

Sigh, even though I'm not on facebook (as it's not for cool people) I still get grief on it..FML

At least it's got 'respectable' benefits too because god knows we cleared through a good few last night!    

Thank you to Delboy and Nicola (Mrs. Delboy) for having us at theirs this week-end!!!  We had a really lovely, relaxing stay and enjoyed not just one, but two dinners cooked by Delboy.  Their children are absolute sweethearts as well and were great entertainment..."Whyyyyyyyyyyy?" 

Definitely must do it again and hope to return the favour by having ye at ours once we finish the last of the decorating.   x

We've TWO microwaves in the kitchen...and one is about to get the road.  It's a sad day for poor Jack.  He's being split from his 19 year old microwave today to make room for his fruit bowls.  He'd purchased a new micro/grill combi job when his oven went bust, but still preferred using old faithful for day to day things...until now.  He was given a choice this morning and has reluctantly turned on his old friend.  Dunno, but starting to think I need to watch me back!  lol

What do fruit bowls have to do with it?  He's got 3 of them currently hanging out in the lounge.  They've got food in them and belong in the kitchen imo, but I'd let them alone up to now.  This week I'm tearing into the DIY of the lounge and a massive clear out of the room is happening simultaneously.  Starting with the fecking fruit bowls!  Will be sooooo happy to see the back of them.

Next on the hit list is his CD collection.  That's a whole other beast altogether.  They're on three 6 foot long shelves behind his telly in alphabetical and chronological order (OCD much?!)...and there's LOTS of them!  Some are getting the road via music magpie or some similar site.  The rest will be put away, but not sure where yet because those shelves are going too.

Then it's on to the 'computer wall'.  Good god, I don't even know how to describe it or where to start in the dismantling of that lot, but it'll be done before the day's out.

BTW - The desk and table in that pic are going too if anyone wants 'em. 

Once all that's done, it's on to stripping the wallpaper before doing the prep and painting.  All going well, we'll be done with the room by Friday at the latest and that's us DIY done for a goodly while.  Sarah lands two weeks from today and it'll be good to have a week's rest before her arrival.  I'm expecting us to have a busy time of it while she's here and I can't wait!!!

Fruit bowls in the kitchen? Only if you dining table is in the kitchen otherwise it's just wrong. Get rid of the shitty wickerbasket fruitbowls and get a nice one IMO.

BTW, PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT! At getting rid of his CDs..that's just wrong!

   Part of the plan obv, but don't want to shock him too much in one day.  We've a dining table and chairs being delivered this week and the fruit may end up there, but no promises. 

I was quite happy to keep the CDs...just not on those shelves or in that room.  Boxes in the attic more likely.  Jack has a subscription to Napster so he's not bothered about keeping most of them anyway as they're never used.

Why do guys let electric cords get all knotted up?  And why do ye let cords just randomly fall where they may when introducing a new electronic gadget?  It'll take me half the day just to sort cords ffs!

[Bongo]

If they were easily untangled they'd be moved more often, and that is obviously bad.

Laxie dear,

Messing with a man's CD collection will cause nothing but grief and strife!!

Imagine if Techno started 'boxing' all your clothes and shoes up??? Worse still, your gardening and DIY utensils

It's a quick road to rack and ruin, you mark this wise old birds words

P.S. While I'm trolling your diary I have a message for Laxie JR

Too late.  We'd boxes to help us sort them with two categories...web & save.  Only say I had in any of it was saving a couple he'd planned for the 'web' box.  All the 'saved' CDs are in their new home on 2 smaller shelves in a spare bedroom.  The 'web' Cds are in boxes ready to be catalogued with the website, but it won't be done this week because we're up to our eyeballs in madness at the minute!

A few weeks ago we picked out a new sofa.  Delivery in about six weeks meant it wouldn't land until after Sarah had been and gone.  A bit of a drag, but never mind.  We ordered it.  Plan was to get the walls stripped and painted two weeks before Sarah's arrival.   Then  we'd be in good shape for her visit and arrival of the sofa a week or two after that. 

So there I was yesterday casually sorting through misc. stuff preparing for the wallpaper stripping when the phone rang. 

"We've your sofa ready and would like to deliver Thursday.  Is that ok?" 

I stood there in shock.  Last time I ordered a sofa the six weeks turned into six months before it arrived.  As it was, I thought I was being optimistic hoping for this one to be here by Christmas.  I looked around at the mess facing me and thought, "How the heck am I going to get this room ready in time?!"  On the plus side, it meant it was here for Sarah's visit.  But if I tell them to hold off on delivery until next week, Murphy's Law says something will go wrong and we'll be waiting well beyond that time.  Sigh.  My reply was a no brainer...

"Blimey.  Ok then, Thursday is grand." 

'Casual' has been thrown out the window and we're running around like headless chickens instead.  I'm only taking a break to let the meds for my back kick in right now.  Then it's full steam ahead.  Last night we broke the room down into sections based on priority and that's how I'll be working today.  Radiator and sofa walls first.  Telly area last. 

A pot of coffee has been put on and I reckon it won't be the last of the day.  Hope the rest of ya have a happy Wednesday.

PS  All electrical cords have been untangled, wound sensibly and have twisty ties keeping them in order.  Every.  Single.  One.  Have I mentioned there's LOTS of them?  Boys and their toys...
