Happy New Year 2011 everyone!
Hope you have all had a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year so far. We have just about recovered from our partying and are looking forward to the year ahead.
I have some exciting new projects coming up and it’s going to be full steam ahead to get our flat finished once and for all. I’ve managed to get a few outstanding DIY jobs done at last over the Christmas break and the loft is coming along well. I do have a self enforced deadline which is July 3rd…it will be ten years since we moved here!
Wishing everyone a fantastic Christmas and Happy holidays. I hope Santa brings you everything you desire.
Thank you everyone for your support throughout the year and your lovely comments. It means a lot.
Wishing you a fantastic day. Peace and Love.
…It’s here at last! Our Christmas present to each other is now in place, although David has said that it’s really more for me than it is for him which is fine by me because it means it’s all mine. We had delays picking it up because of the snowfall earlier this month, it was then not in the warehouse where it was supposed to be and the van of the friend who was going to pick it up had to have the gearbox replaced. I was chomping at the bit for it’s eventual arrival.
It took three of us to move the marble table top to the third floor. Although I had carefully measured the flights of stairs and landings it was still tricky getting all twenty stone of it around the corners! There was a lot of huffing and puffing and it took us the best part of an hour to finally reach the top. It also has to be moved vertically as much as possible which added yet more complications.
The best part of all this is that I managed to get the table for half price! I won’t go into details but lets just say my thanks go out to a very helpful woman who made it possible.
Even at half price it was still a lot of money and we have never spent so much money on each other for Christmas before and probably never will again. Was it worth it? Oh yes! It is absolutely beautiful and everything you expect or want it to be.
Next thing…the chairs! Unfortunately the Series 7’s do not go. The colours are wrong but more importantly they do not sit under the table very well because of the width of the legs but new ones (unless I come across an absolute bargain!) will have to wait…we are spent out!
