Daddy picked up his iPad just a few moments ago and upon switching it on, the screen was on the YouTube app – there were several very worrying looking videos right there on screen – the sort that even Daddy shouldn’t be watching.
It was at this moment that daddy saw the search box and the search criteria – “pusi” hmm…. And then oh dear…. 🙁
It then dawned that Elliot had obviously been helping Oliver find some pussy cats and had therefore not quite found what he was looking for……
Looking at the iPhone Weather forecast app earlier today, it stated clearly that there was a 100% chance of snow between 18:00 and 20:00. 100% !!! really?
So the snow actually began at 12:00 and stopped around 14:00 here in Ossett, and was a somewhat weak effort in all honesty. However, it is having another go, and to keep all in balance it began again at just before 18:00 and now at 19:48 we have a significant amount of snow in place 🙂
We think that there was as much as 1/4 to 1/2 inch more snow on the ground when we got home some 30 minutes ago compared to when we set off from Green Lea on foot some 40 minutes earlier – wowzers…
We have enjoyed a relaxing day at Grandma’s swimming and generally relaxing 🙂 The boys have had a great time and are definitely going to get a nice sleep tonight 🙂 Olly fell asleep within 5 minutes on the walk home (in the stroller) so mummy expertly transferred him into his PJ’s and then into bed – he is soundly asleep in his Thomas bed 🙂 Elly is enjoying his Cocoa and will be heading to slumberland himself in 10 minutes or less 🙂
Tomorrow looks to be a day of snowmen and snowballs 😀
So, we are at the end of week 2 and perhaps as anticipated, we are not quite there – although we are close.
The kitchen now has all of the surfaces in place and most of the cupboard doors are on and have handles etc. The sink and macerator is in and the sink is in the utility, but the tap was faulty so we are awaiting a replacement. There is still the tiling to do in here as well. We think that there is another 5 days of work to go int completing all items.
The house bathroom only requires a shower screen fitting – otherwise is complete 🙂 Looks awesome
The ground floor toilet has been floored and tiled (just a few additional border sparkle tiles to go – then they can all be grouted and the fitments put in place.
The team have been very busy and are doing a great job.

Yesterday, we finalized a 10 day vacation to sunny Orlando in April. We are going to meet up with Jason, Amy and Charlotte for 6 days (having had 4 days before they arrive). It was our first really painfully expensive vacation that falls in school holidays 🙁
We are staying at a hotel that is literally across the street from Downtown Disney, so we will not really need the car too much we hope – i.e. just walk across the road and make use of the free Disney transportation 🙂
Now we need to plan which attractions the boys will want to see and enjoy… Thus figure out how many hard earned $$$ the Mouse is going to take from us before we leave the UK – Disney Park tickets….
-5 Celcius this morning as we got the kids ready and prepared to take Elliot to school – BRRRRR 🙁 🙁 🙁 Apparently it is going to get colder over the weekend as well 🙁 At least we should have all of our radiators online and operational…
We are cooking on the gas it seems (so to speak) but highly unlikely to be complete by te end of tomorrow. The kitchen surfaces arrived and were fitted today 🙂 Only the breakfast bar surface was not cut correctly so has had to go back to be edited (can’t cut and polish it onsite) 🙁 The microwave is in place (just needs power supplying) and all of the under surface lights are in and functional (can see this on the photo 🙂 ) It seems that we are in the last furlong for the kitchen now as well with the gas hob going in first thing tomorrow and then just finishing pieces such as the separator in the pan drawer and the cutlery dividers etc to go in. The plasterer is coming on Monday, so we should be painting on either Monday night or Tuesday at some point.
The house bathroom is 95% complete with just the shower screen to go up and then the sealant applying all around. Hopefully the screen will arrive tomorrow although the sealing will definitely take place tomorrow.
The tiling in the ground floor toilet will begin and hopefully be completed tomorrow and then the fittings go in either tomorrow or next week (most likely).
Overall, the house is in a real state with a significant portion of dust etc that we are really looking forward to seeing the back of over the coming days…
