Spent an hour this morning cleaning out the front room (Cumbrian house) of unneeded books and other items as we're going to use it for storage when we move over there for the renovation. Our Cumbrian house reno is almost done - they fixed the kitchen, have done all the painting and the carpet guy has measured everything. So just need to go through and make a snag list, get carpet done, have the glass installed for the shower...and then it'll be done! I have to start calling builders to get them in to do a quote for work on our Vale house. And we'll probably make the move by the end of Feb.
Helloooooo I need to post over here more. We are on TTC hold until summertime so I guess maybe I should focus on home stuff. The good thing is that I'll be able to take allergy meds in tree pollen season, so perhaps more outdoor projects.
We bought DD a hemnes daybed 3 weeks ago and the boxes are just there. They sold out of the dressers by time we got there (boo hiss, fucking 2 hour drive each way not counting all of the running around to the parents and then back to our house to unload then to my parents again to drop the car and pick up the kid).
My mom said she would go get the dresser sometime but I would really like to make a girls day of it because I want to shop the marketplace a bit more.
So yeah. Perhaps we will get the daybed together this weekend.
I am probably crazy and haven't lived near an Ikea enough, but I totally spent like 3 hours with girlfriends shopping and talking our way through Ikea last time I was in Denver. I was flying so I couldn't buy much, but next time I drive down, I'm planning another girls' day there.

Ah, the marketplace. The place where the $100 "Ikea tax" kicks in. It's my favorite part, too.

My plumber is still avoiding me, telling my general contractor he's A. going to call me when got the phone with him (never happened ) and B. that he was going to show up last night (never happened)
We're going to fire him, except he has our faucet nozzle from our shower. No idea why he took it...because he won't return our calls. I want to file a complaint with the contractors license board, but don't have him license #. NO luck looking it up, either? I KNOW he's licensed. WTF?
I'm glad Monday is over, but so far Tuesday has been just as chaotic. And we're supposed to have a huge rainstorm later this week; of course it's the night I have tickets to something and will be out walking around downtown.
We went to Ikea yesterday and picked up a bunch a little things, and two stools. We decided to skip the tabouret stools on Overstock. If anyone shops the Cincinnati store and needs 12" akurum base cabinets, they still have several at only $22 each. Of course, there are no fronts. They do, however, have several 12" and 24" assembled cabinets with fronts for next to nothing.
I skipped class today. It's only week 3, and I need a break. I did manage to make it to the afternoon class I TA, though.
