This is how Teen One went to work this morning. From the items we picked up in town yesterday, she chose a t-shirt mapping the constellations....
a pair of lounge pants with stars on...
she made a star hair slide...
... and a pair of star hair bobbles!
After dropping her off at work, and a quick trip to Lidl's, I asked Teen Two if he fancied going swimming.
So the morning was spent in the local fun pool, him having fun with the wave machine and slides, and me doing a spot of crochet.
Our church back hall has had rather a lot of rain damage for the past couple of years, this is just a small corner showing the mould and flaking paint work.
It is an old building, built by my late father in law and other men from the church, many years ago. The problem was found to be the flat roof needed relaying and also new guttering.
With that work now done, by professionals, we , the unprofessionals are able to try and freshen up everywhere, whilst we are closed for the holidays.
Hubby scraped off the worst of the damaged paint work, whilst I took down six pairs of curtains. Pair one is now in the washing machine...only another five to go.... I have put them on a low spin in the hopes it means I don't have to iron them!
I cleared up as much of the scrappings as I could...it was a very dirty job so was in need of a shower when I got home...ahh....clean again!
Tomorrow we will go back and empty the room as much as possible ready for painting.
It looks a rather daunting job...and we are hoping to do it in ONE DAY!!
We have started it now...so we HAVE to finish it!
Another busy day, another mixture of events. You certainly have a variety of activities!! I have to admit the look of the room you are proposing to decorate looks very daunting, but sometimes it looks worse than it really is. Have you got plenty of help!!!!
ReplyDeleteTeen one certainly looked the part! Did she enjoy her first week? I expect teen two missed her? Xxx
Plenty of help?? Is likely to just be us!
DeleteShe enjoyed it in part, but doesn't want to do it permanently...they aren't able to communicate for the most part and she finds that hard, but has done well to last out. I heard from a friend that when she was 16 she did a day of it and didn't go back as she found it too distressing.
Wowzer - that's a job and a half!
ReplyDeleteJob and a half indeed, as always, the prep and clearing up is as much work!
