A skip and a brush

Saturday turned out to be a bit of a full-on day. The skip arrived at about 9am and we set to work to clear the rubbish and rubble in the garden - and wow what a difference. We now have a patio that you can see. Previously you could step out of the back door and walk down the rubbish into the garden - now there's about a 4ft drop to the patio - we worked hard, actually Gary worked very hard and a friend James came to help.

They then spent the afternoon clearing the garden while I went to a 1st birthday party (me and Lucy). Lucy had a great morning with her good friend Nikki and of course not forgetting Charlie the dog. Lucy managed to accumulate a little till...for practising her shopping (very important)... and some caterpillar slippers!

Tomorrow we're moving to some other friends, hopefully only for a couple of weeks and then we can move into our house. The builder is doing a great job, the plastering is nearly all finished bar a couple of rooms, and the worktops for the kitchen arrive today so they'll be cracking on with that no doubt. That just leaves a lot of painting, so if youĂ‚’re a dab-hand with a brush and you're free.....
