Cutting it a bit fine...

Ha... we spent the day scrubbing the woodblock floor and painting the living room walls a very original white colour... and then scrubbing the floor again ...
it's now much cleaner but has an interesting occasional festive white snow footprint effect due to the fact as a household we are rubbish at being methodical, tidy, careful... all those useful qualities (and we've decided to refinish the floor in the summer).

I did have a moment of despair when I found out the cat had walked through the paint roller tray and then over the sofa (dark blue ...it was...well actually after much work with a wet cloth and elbow grease it is again..phew)

So now I just have to rehang the curtains and then we dive through the trap door into the basement and retrieve the Christmas tree... (yes sis we all know where it is!)..I can almost find the memory of the year when we lost ..ok I lost ..the darn tree funny ...no I can't it was awful...and my other half had to try and buy one on Christmas eve a nearly impossible task we found our tree but it was a tad pricey... still it's a nice tree, and it's said that memories fade...

Actually there may be a surreal quality to this post as the girls keep asking me to watch their entrance and dance instead of typing..their dad is playing carols on the keyboard and the girls are singing ..only the catch is, they're not singing the same carols that he's playing...and I haven't had a drink so it must be real... lol


Well if I can find the camera and have the energy I'll try and add some photos later!
for now it's Have a very Merry Christmas and I'm off to the basement.
