Romeo done! Finally got a few hours to wrap the C Romeo done! Finally got a few hours to wrap the Christmas pressies! • No they do not look Instagram perfect • No they do not have lovely bows and ribbon • No they don’t all have exactly the same amount of presents Look we are still living in a flat surrounded by boxes, suitcases and all on top of each other. I was almost at the point of not wrapping anything, but I managed a few hours after work today to get them done and hidden away. We have no decs this year, no tree and no big family Christmas; but what we do have is each other, a beautiful home to renovate in the new year, a warm and dry roof over our head and food on the table. It’s been a tough year for many reasons, and a really tough Nov/Dec. But I have one more (half) day at work and then I’m officially on holiday till the 8th January and I cannot wait. I don’t think I’ve needed a break more than I have this year. And so a little sweet treat to start off the week 😜 see what I did there…
Today was all about choosing paint colours for Sam Today was all about choosing paint colours for Sam’s room. We’re going for a hunting lodge style; think dark green walls, oak panelling, tartan. Douter from @farrowandball (the middle one) is a hit, not too dark and not too light. You can see in the unfiltered image just how rich it is 💚🤎 This set of prints from @moncasso.official will be perfect! As will the lights from @nextofficial 🤎🤎🤎 Can’t wait to get in the house and decorating!
XMAS - Will we be in by then?! We are back to fe XMAS - Will we be in by then?! We are back to feeling like no chance at all! I can’t knock the lads, they are working round the clock and they have filled the house, all in an effort to get us in by Christmas. You literally can’t move for men, pipes, wires and tools! There is some paint (@farrowandball) on the walls, and paint colours chosen for the living room. Doors have been stripped and waxed (@morrellswoodfinishes ) ready to refit. Still noticing gorgeous details as we go! There is stunning pipework everywhere (if only we didn’t have to lag it 🤷‍♀️) but no radiators on walls as of yet. The showers are all sorted now (took some organising) and trays are being fitted, but boys it’s gonna be tight. Right now, I think it might be Christmas in the flat, but you never know. Do you think we’ll do it?!
Had to jump on this trend! Honestly why is HRT s Had to jump on this trend! Honestly why is HRT such a nightmare at times. Certainly wasn’t the life changing option that so many ‘lucky’ women seem to find it is. Years to get diagnosed, then years to get the correct dose and type of HRT. Having to fight to try and get different options, it can be a postcode lottery. And then, it only really helps the common symptoms. We all know that if the menopause happened to men, then there would be much more research carried out, accommodations made and medication readily available. Who also remembers the patches falling off and leaving lovely grey sticky patches all over your butt/thighs 🫣🤪🤪 #funtimes❤️
It’s an absolute breeze 🤪 • It can start a It’s an absolute breeze 🤪 • It can start as many as 15 years before your last period (9 years and counting). • Brain fog, anxiety, and mood changes are common — and real. • Joint pain and frozen shoulder can be hormone-related. • ADHD symptoms can intensify due to estrogen changes. • Menopause isn’t a single moment — it’s a transition that looks different for everyone. • Many people are diagnosed with ADHD for the first time during perimenopause. Bottom line: Menopause doesn’t create ADHD — it turns up the volume on it. If no one told you this before, you’re not behind — the info just hasn’t been loud enough. 🔥
Okay I need your help again guys! Trying to decide Okay I need your help again guys! Trying to decide on colours for the living room. Which pink/red do you prefer?! And I’m only using the wallpaper in specific highlight areas. So do I: 1. Paint the bottom of the wall the blue and the top the red/pink Or 2. Paint three walls the blue and then one wall the red/pink. Feel a little rushed on this choice, so it may be that for now we just paint quickly as plain and deal with decor later, but would love to hear your views!!! Also found it quite hilarious that my choices matched perfectly with the @karndeancommercialuk @palioflooring brochure!
