Another weekend done :-(

We have been down and sorted the flooring in the conservatory today – typically the one we wanted is no longer available, however, the new selection actually has some better ones – so winner for a change πŸ™‚

Apparently the building of the conservatory should take less than 5 weeks so with a bit of luck we will be enjoying vast new space very soon.Β  The building folks should be contacting us next week to get the ball rolling, and the digging happening πŸ™‚

Conservatory planning permission = GRANTED :-)

Finally, we are on – typically it has been rained tres heavily this afternoon – wouldn’t it be just typical if the builders arrive to build in the garden with heavy rain = trashed back garden and mud traipsed into the house πŸ™

If we don’t hear from the conservatory builders, we will be visiting this weekend to get all other things (heating and electrical stuff + flooring) sorted out, and with a trailing wind we could actually be in place by Elliot’s 2nd birthday πŸ™‚

It will certainly be nice to get the garage space back – Elliot currently using the garage as a play room with Brum, Thomas etc.

Simon’s trip is now off for next week so only one week away required πŸ™‚

Can we have the conservatory then ?

Another weekend gone πŸ™

Elliot seems to not wish to eat at meal times presently and would rather munch on “snacks” as he calls them at all other times during the day.

We are expecting to hear from the planning people next week regarding whether we will be allowed (or not) to build the conservatory on the back of Fork Hall.Β  Our fingers are crossed – Wednesday is D day.

Shopping trip on Saturday into Leeds City Centre, led us to almost purchase one new Tag Heuer watch, one Mont blanc Laptop case, and successfully led to a purchase of a Louis Vuitton bag and purse πŸ™‚Β  In the middle of it all, the heavens opened and Vicky and Simon got soaked…. Elliot was nicely cocooned in his pushchair with the rain cover on – slept through it all too πŸ™‚

Simon may be away for a couple of weeks from next weekend – heading back to New York in the second week πŸ™
