almost time for ....

Pity these are last years ... but they look so pretty!!

Feelgood Friday !!

Well whatever was making me feel down on Monday has well and truly lifted today! Thank the Goddess..or whoever. I was probably just feeling down as we were enjoying our two weeks off from the school routine. But monday brought that all back down on us.

We booked our Ferry to France last night - which also helped a lot!! Five months one week and one day till we sail to france. But sure who's counting?

Before Photos our Dream (?) Home in the Hills

What is there to say this is our bathroom, our bedroom, and our living room/kitchen as it is now. Thomas - the builder - pity his name wasn't Bob but there ya go.... well anyway he is starting work this week. So lets watch this space !!

Before we know where we are we will have somewhere we can actually end up calling home.

Moany Monday

Not feeling myself today. Truth to be told feel horrid. All aches and pains. But the worst of it all is the low feeling within myself. Its just this dull bored, dont care less type of feeling. Its not like depression, just a horrid lowness. And my chest hurts.

So now ... thats a moan done.

We have been working all day...

Spent the day working up in Cavan. Smashing time was had by both!! Mainly Des to be fair. My involvement is to shift stuff. The house is amazing. As our builder commented today on seeing yet another suprise ... "No expense SPENT !!"

What did we find today.. well behind the toilet in the bathroom, we were pretty sure the old back door to the house was behind there. But to be honest we were supprised ... all the wall was made of was plaster board. Then there is a gap. And the old doorway is bricked in. The funny thing is the old door frame - and get this - the old door hinges are there !!

Still its left us with a good six to eight inches behind the toilet - so the builder recons we can recess the loo into it. Giving us a tiny bit more space in the actual room.

So thats something ...
