Thank you
Different sort of day today........ decorator arriving at 8am tomorrow ( seemed like a good idea six months ago when we booked him
) to do the upstairs landing, stairs and hallway downstairs, front entrance, lounge, dining room and our 'snug' ( where we watch tv/ dvds and listen to music) Endless journeys up and down the stairs to take up pictures, mirrors, all the 'knick knacks' we have about, cushions etc etc and then the cleaning of the window frames and windows, taking down all the curtains to go to the dry cleaners, wet wiping the wooden blinds and hoovering away cobwebs etc which have been sitting about whilst I have been incapacitated.......
I was exhausted at the end of it and house looks quite bare and strange......... went to rest after lunch and slept for over an hour and a half!!!!!! Needed it obviously before all the upheaval tomorrow...... he will be here for over two weeks so going to be very interesting........
Hope everyone else having a good day

Hi Poppy, your outfit sounds lovely, must look lovely too by your daughters reaction, I bet you felt great.
Just wondering about the wearing heels, did your doctor tell you that you will not be able to wear heels again? I haven't been told that though obviously I won't be going out buying some five inch stilletos I would like to think I could wear a little heel.
Take it easy, I think you must have dne a weeks exercise in one day with all the clearing work yesterday.

Anniepops: Was told by surgeon NO heels ever again because of danger of going over on them no matter how small! But we went for a walk at our local NT property yesterday and I slipped into a dip in the grassy field and my heel went over and ouch! And that was in flat walking shoes!!!! Who knows but am following the no heels rule!
Angie: A nightmare re decorator..... house so upside down I want to scream.... am managing to get up onto my bed each day to 'stretch out my hip' regardless of wet painted doors! But he has spilt water onto our cream carpets three times now, which does not matter, BUT because he is putting newspapers under the doors as he paints them so as to protect the carpet, when he spills the water the newsprint soaks into them
So we have had to speak to him today, very nicely, although did cause frostiness sadly but our house and we are paying the bill.......
Why is it when you have people into your home to do jobs that they treat it like a ' workplace' and not someone's home!!!??

Oh Poppy, you make me want to get all dressed up fancy and go somewhere special! But it is 100 degrees today, so I am settling for a loose sundress and sandals. ( I think it's about 38 celsius). Anyway, it's HOT! I think we all want to see a photo of a certain purple dress and coral shoes.
