Wednesday

The big news of the day is that SIL is home from hospital ... yippee! DH has gone back to Derbyshire for another few days and rang me from there to say that he had spoken to her and that she sounded remarkably chipper (which just reinforces my opinion that she is a very remarkable lady). Can I use the word remarkable twice in that last sentence?

The decorating is finished (will photograph in daylight) and my lovely new kitchen curtains are up. We just need a new carpet, for the contractors to come and finish off their list of snags and for the Council to sign off on the job ... and then we'll be done!! Would I do a loft conversion again? Probably not.

DS caught the V&D bug today. When I got him up this morning I found him covered in milky vomit from head to toe, the poor mite, but he still gave me a huge smile and a cheeky chuckle. He kept the "D" part for just before bathtime ... luckily I removed his nappy while he was standing in the empty bath and promptly hosed him down! He's gone to bed tonight wearing his big boy pjs for the 1st time (ITNG pattern, of course!) and looks so grown up, as you can see.
