All the other stuff is essentially out of my hands All the other stuff is essentially out of my hands, so it makes perfect sense to my brain to do the stuff I can do, which is to start planning the Christmas decor for the new house! šŸ¤ŖšŸ¤£ Itā€™s a very different house and am gutted not to have my statement staircase anymore, but no matter what, I know as soon as I decorate itā€™ll make me smile! šŸŽ„ Letā€™s pray for the rest, and knowing my hubby, itā€™ll all happen the week before Christmas.

Darker nights mean cosy evenings by the fire! We Darker nights mean cosy evenings by the fire! We might not have a working oven still, a single room 100% finished or any workmen on site for over a month, but we do have open fires, candles and fairy lights šŸ„° Some time off over half term means we can hire a van to get the last few bits still stuck at the flat and from storage, which will in turn give me more storage to be able to empty more boxes.

Toilet training is going wellā€¦ Haha in all ser Toilet training is going wellā€¦ Haha in all seriousness itā€™s going not too bad. Duke has been with us just over 3 weeks and heā€™s doing great. He sleeps through the night mostly and doing the majority of his widdles outside. šŸ’© are another issue, but considering Daisy was probably near 3 years before she was fully trained, compared to Dukeā€™s 3 months, I think weā€™re doing okay. He is a wee bugger and in to everything, I have to plan what Iā€™m doing around the hourly trips outside to pee which is slightly limiting, but hopefully it wonā€™t be for long! In other news Iā€™ve done a little bit of wallpapering in the living room and am tackling Henā€™s room (check out my stories) to try and get at least one other room a little more ship shape. Finding it frustrating as itā€™s just me most of the time and some of the furniture is heavy. I hate having to ask/wait for help. But found if I just leave it in a really awkward place then the OH has no other choice but to help move šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Dachshund Puppy | Dachshunds | Puppy Training | Team Dachshund | Sausage Dog Family | New Puppy

I havenā€™t posted anything about the house in a w I havenā€™t posted anything about the house in a while. Nothing much has happened due to us running over and the workmen having other jobs, so now itā€™s a case of waiting till they can fit us in. But it does mean Iā€™m starting to do more and more bits that I can actually do myself! So I thought what better than give everyone a laugh at my šŸ’© decisions for the kitchen šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£ So I really want some traditional style taps and for them also to be antique brass. What I didnā€™t think of is that they are fixed and therefore donā€™t actually reach all the corners of the sinks, or have that lovely ā€˜showerā€™ feature we used to use in the utility to clean the dogs! And the islandā€¦ lots of planning went into planning the kitchen and making sure the island was a good size, but why the hell did I not even think about bloody seating šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£ There is room for two stools at the end, but it would have been better to have a dedicated spot šŸ«£ We went for LVT on the floor and I already hate it (donā€™t ask!) so if we ever re-lay the floor then I might take the opportunity and remove the cupboards nearest the back door and have that as proper seating area. Now my laundry area I was really pleased with. Raised appliances so that I didnā€™t have to keep lugging washing baskets up and down. Butā€¦ 1. The OH put the machines in without thinking and now the doors open inwards towards each other, rather than outwards, so itā€™s a right faff moving them from one machine to the other šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£ So we await some strong workmen to come help swap them around šŸ«£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Not only that butā€¦ In my desire to have the appliances at waist height, I went a little high. So while the doors are perfect height, I canā€™t reach or see the drawer to add my liquid detergent without a stool šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£ And talking of stoolsā€¦ So we obviously had to plan the kitchen around the corner cupboard that was listed. In doing so it meant all the wall cupboards had to be at a specific height, which bar the bottom shelf, I canā€™t reach LOL. So yeah that stool is coming in handy! So please tell me your renovation mishaps to make me feel better or tag someone who is in the midst of it now!
