its been a funny few weeks for me,
Not funny haha, funny strange,
well ups and downs I should really say.

I did a bit of redecorating,
My youngest did up her room, she wanted
rid of the pink, no surprise there with a 14yr old.

She went for a really nice blue, kinda an electric blue,
I like it, more importantly she likes it, even more importantly
to her, her mates like it.

Whilst she was painting it herself, and her best friend forever,
they got paint all over the place, including the pink carpet,
(a ploy I think), anyway, she got a new carpet a remenant,
so it was cheap, and anyway my earth angel, and her best aunt,
paid for it. She is so good.xx

So we are grey and blue, with a bit of teal thrown in on the duvet,
She is happy, thats what counts.

Then I had the decorating bug, my room hasnt been touched really
since after we moved in, so it was overdue, also I wanted
to as my sister said,
get all of him out of there.

I went down to the shed and found half tins of paint left from
when we did up the kitchen/dining room in 2009, so I mixed two
paints together and got a caramel colour, no its not gross, its
actually nice and because they were a silk sheen they looked good.

I repainted the wardrobes white,cheap yeah but cheerful, (I promise).
When I was doing this I moved the bed around, Im half way round moving
this feckin kingsize wooden bed and I hear a crack, followed by a groan,
(the groan was me), and yep I d done it DIY Destroy it yourself, Id
broken the bed, and where I broke it on his side, at the receiver for the
support and leg and headboard, there was no going back with that one.

When it broke, it was like, well that doesnt surprise me, it doesnt fecking
surprise me at all, it is an omen anyway, what more did I expect.
So I wallowed for about ten minutes, then coped myself on,
and kept going with the painting, the bed would have to wait.

So I got my dad to look and the bed and pass an opinion on it,
yep he said, its f..ked!!,
marvellous.
So now what, I priced new beds, no way could I afford it,
so I did more DIY, that is I rebuilt the bed in a smaller form,
using the underneath storage and the wooden slats from the broken
bed, and now I have a new bed, that fits better in the room,
I still have the storage, and its not our old bed,
it is completely revamped,
like the room,
like me??
