The Big Push Day 7

Up early again today, came down and did the usual stuff, but having ant home was a bit more energized to get on with the task. After the coffee routine ant and i moved the furniture in the last bedroom and then i started on with the paint, ant started doing the skirting boards in the living room. I had the bedroom done after a few hours and came down to see how ant was getting on, he had nearly done in the living room. I phoned Jacqui and spoke to Simon to see if he could suggest how he could help with the stairs, they said they would come over in the afternoon. Ant made a start on the cutting in in the bedrooms and i set to doing a bit of tidying, washed the windows then cleaned down the walls in the living room. Jacqui and Simon arrived and we discussed what we could do about the ceilings in the hall and bathroom and the best way to get the walls sorted up stairs, he thought it was going to be neigh on impossible to get the ceilings sorted so after they had gone i phoned Maggie to ask if it would make a huge difference, she didn't think it would.
By this time ant was fed up of painting so we decided to shift the furniture back into the living room, this didn't take too long and the place looked so much better when we had finished, it has a whole different feel now the floor is done and the skirting painted. I decided that we would call it a day at that point, nearly five in the afternoon, so we tided away painting stuff then had a relax for an hour or so, then i sorted out the dinner, roast chicken, and we sat in the living room for the first time in ages and had a night in front of the tv. Gran phoned whilst we were eating to say that the lap top had arrived and dad was pleased with it, so i phoned her back after dinner and ant chatted to her for ages, then he decided he would phone his mum and everyone else in the world so i was left to my own devices. We had an earlyish night without the dogs in the room for a change so slept really well.
