The Big Push Day 5

I woke early again this morning, had my coffee and messed about online for about an hour, then loaded the girls into the car and headed off to Arras to sort out the sander. It was all sorted easily, though it was a little more costly than i had originally thought, but still cheaper and better looking than a carpet. When i got back i knew i had a bedroom to paint so i procrastinated for a bit and made some phone calls then took the bull by the horns and set too. It took a while to get all the junk out and the furniture sorted but eventually i got it ready to paint, the easy bit. It took about four hours in all, i left the cutting in for ant as he has a better eye and hand for these things, but i have to say it looks quite good, more modern and clean than it did.
After i had painted i put the furniture back where it was as i needed the room for the evening as the living room is still empty, then i settled down to an afternoon film, not a great one but it passed a couple of hours and was relaxing. At five thirty i went down to make some dinner, pork chops with potatoes and peas, just as it was ready Jacqui Rowe arrived, so i turned it all down and showed her what we had done so far, she seemed impressed, but, like me, was unsure what we would do about the stairs, the next couple of days will tell.
Once Jacqui had left i went upstairs with my dinner and had a nice relaxing night in front of the tv, at the end of the night i put the laptop on to catch any emails and ant called me on skype, which was nice. At eleven i headed to bed and read for a while then dropped off into a good deep sleep. Tomorrow i have the skirting boards to paint in the living room then ant is home at five, so that's something to look forward too, i will at least have more umph when he is here.
