Instead of lying around slothing ALL day today we had a productive morning. The painters had laid a masking tape on our skirting boards when they painted the walls but alas when they pulled the tape off they took large chunks of the skirting board paint along with it! We spent this morning painting all of our skirting boards ourselves which was actually rather fun and therapeutic and what a sense of accomplishment when we finished and stood back to view our handiwork.
Our delivery of goods bought yesterday has not yet arrived and it is now raining and after 4pm so we are beginning to doubt it will still happen today. Ho hum! I have learnt that when any service orientated person or place gives a date for anything one should add 1-3 days on to that before getting upset as they are unreliable or just plain lie so no point getting upset every time.
Still a bit disappointed though as we now need to make a plan to be around when they do decide to deliver during the week.
We have been doing so well on our "diet" over the weekend but a chilly rainy Sunday afternoon is seeing us both craving something decadent like a steamy pud or something. Andy has decided to go to gym to fight the thoughts and I am blogging and then may tackle some filing. How boring! I just don't know how Andy finds the willpower to go to gym the way he does. It really is my absolute worst!
I figure all the cleaning, sweeping, wiping, climbing, moving and painting these last few days has got to count as some sort of exercise!
Perhaps tonight we can sneak in just a little something nice for the Sunday night movie :)
