Room update and some great news!

Hey all, the little man has cheered up no end today and his chicken pox has all scabbed over so he's on the mend. We took a quick picture for Kev's challenge to see as all in the flesh. I think this is the first photo of us all together since baby girl was born. Sorry about the funky colours, I haven't edited it, James's phone just has a weird idea of colours. I put a few up to show the progression.

First...I got poked in the face by a toy golf club. Wee man doesn't like photos being taken as you can see.



Secondly we all thought it was hilarious



Thirdly we were smiling!



I also have a few pics of the little man's room progression. We got the plasterboard up, James cut a few holes for new sockets when we re-wire eventually and he also put some bonding coat on the window recesses ready for plastering. Next step is to do some plastering, it'll be first time doing it entirely without help but if it's terrible we can always bring someone in to fix it.





I did some work on the bottom of the garden but I'll post on that later.

Anyway for the great news, we finally got planning permission granted!!!! The local councillor that lives up the track stopped to congratulate James this morning. We said thanks but we hadn't been told! Anyway a letter came with the postie today, it's official. This evening I will have a whiskey liqueur to celebrate and quite possibly a cider too, a good mix of my Scottish heritage and my Herefordshire home.

  3. Well done on the planning permission! I know it was such a big deal for us when we got ours. Now you can really make your mark in the place (but I think you've done that already!).
    Great photos as well thanks for taking part (even though I see you most weeks! ).

  5. Don't they have vaccinations for chicken pox over there? I think we do here. Or was it for measles, hum.....

    1. Hey Harry, I am aware that there are chicken pox vaccinations, but they aren't part of the UK vaccination schedule on the national health service, as it's considered a mild childhood illness. You can pay for it privately but I've never heard of anyone doing it. It's common in the US for children to be vaccinated against chicken pox though.
