More Days or Hours Needed!

I don’t know what it is at the moment but I could do with several more hours in each day and at least another two days per week!!!!!

Our work has been really busy over the last few weeks, which is really good but hectic.  It is also coming up to our Year End on May 31st and start of the new year on June 1st.  It involves quite a lot of organising and paperwork which I have managed to get done this week, including shredding the old year and emptying the filing cabinit of the year and also getting the paperwork ready for our Accountant!  Here in the UK we have to keep our business records for seven years so we have a rotating seven years of boxes with the paperwork in.  It takes ages to get the oldest year through the shredder and I end up with six bags of shredded paper!

Been busy with the Boys and various things with them and helping out with Little Man at the weekend.  Also trying to finish two baby quilts, which I have got the tops done just need to sandwich them and get the quilting done.  Still trying to finish the bed quilt I am making as well as a handful of repairs which need doing.  

This weekend is another three day weekend for us and DH and I are intending on painting our bedroom and dressing room and if we have time the landing and down the stairs.  That will then be the entire top floor done and just then need to do the ground floor!  The weather is supposed to be nice over the weekend, although it is forecast some rain, which is much needed.

We need to do some jobs in the garden as well and if we have any left over time at the weekend we could get a bit done.  Also have the Spring Cleaning to finish as well so there is plenty to keep us busy!

This is a quick peek at our guest room.  We still need to put some pictures on the walls and some other bits in but I thought I would show you a bit of it.  As you can see Coco’s bed is next to the radiator and she does sleep on it but also the bed as well.  I am convinced she thinks it is her room!

Little Man is growing up fast.  Above he is sitting at the table to have his dinner instead of eating on his tray.

This shirt says it all!  When Grandad is around none of us get a look in!

This was last Saturday’s dinner I had made them Lasagne for dinner and you just need to use your hands with it!!!  Who needs knives and forks?!!!!

Jayne and I had lunch last week and had a lovely meal.  It was great to see her and have a few hours out of the day where I was not working.  We have also read the second of our Book Club Books and it was really good although both of us said it did not get going until half way through the book!  We have a new one for this month which is a historical mystery, something Jayne has never read before, so I am hoping she will like it.

The next few weeks we are free in that DH does not have any swimming events on, so we will be getting jobs done.  In three weeks time Eldest’s Partner is having a big Birthday and I am planning a lovely dinner for her at home on the Saturday evening, the day before her Birthday.  Jayne and I are going out on the Tuesday before for our Birthdays and are having Afternoon Tea for a change.  Then the following week it is my Birthday and again we will be at home but we will be having a take away!  In five weeks time it will be the start of Carnival in the Village and this year we are celebrating 100 years!  There are some extra events on for this special year but all the usual ones as well.  I will be using the days and evenings to carry on with our decluttering.  Then the following week DH, Eldest & Youngest will be off for their Christmas Present to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.  Whilst they are away the Girls & I will be getting together for a lovely day and food!  It is going to be a very busy few weeks again.   Tomorrow is home jobs day.

I hope you lovely lot are having a good week and enjoying some lovely Spring weather. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

Coco’s tired!

    How often do you paint your house? I swear you did it just 2 years ago…or are the years flying by faster then I can keep up with??!! I hate painting rooms. The last time I had to do it, I bought a paint sprayer which made the job so much easier. Of course, I loaned it to someone and haven’t seen it in years. Little man is getting so big!! What a joy!!! Coco knows where it is most comfortable to sleep…smart girl! Tara is getting old…her face is all white now, but at 15-1/2, she is still slender and can jump up on my chair, so I’ll take the win.

    Too bad you can’t use all of that shredded paper as mulch or something useful! Your guest room looks so clean and welcoming all freshly painted.!
    Tobey, you need to learn to use silverware. It will keep you so much cleaner than using your hands.
