I ended up being alone today as Cheryl couldn't make it as her wee boy was ill, but that was okay... but today was a day for skirtings etc so was REALLY slow - had to buy decorating caulk stuff to fill in loads of cracks around the celing/wall joint, so did two rooms with that (gonna have to do almost all of the rooms!) and sanded down wood bits (skirting, 'ceiling skirting' -dunno the real name for that-, and window frame too) and then painted them all with the gloss stuff. Didn't finish the ceiling skirting but will get it done quite easily tomorrow. Although I'll also have to go around with the wall colour and touch up all of the bits I messed up with the gloss. And do another coat on the window too!
Car failed its MOT as I anticipated - the front wheel bearing is completely worn which is why it was making a horrible noise, and something to do with brakes and something else I didn't hear too! So they have to order in parts which won't come 'til next week so I'm without a car now 'til they fix it - if I take it off of the premesis they have to charge me twice for the MOT! Not that I should need it, it's only about a 15 minute walk between the houses, as long as it's not pouring rain I won't mind!
Have found out that Adam's mum probably won't be able to have kids next week so will have to sort something out there (she's been wonderful though and had them every day this week!!) - although seeing as they won't have them during the day, I won't feel so bad asking them if they'll come in for a few hours at night when they're in bed, so Adam and I can go paint from 8pm for a couple of hours, or even just an hour! Really want to get it all done, partially cos I'm impatient but also I'm feeling so guilty about the kids!! Alexander is watching a fair bit of TV/playing wii/playing computer games while at Grandmas, which is fine, but it's affecting his behaviour when he comes home and then we're telilng him off for not listening (he always gets like that if he watches too much tv etc!) but it's not REALLY his fault, but still unacceptable if you know what I mean?
Anyway. Hopefully we'll get some more time next week to do most of the painting!
Tomorrow I'm staying home with the kids in the morning 'til about 11 then Alexander is off to a friend's house for his first sleepover! :) And I'm taking Kathryn to Kerry's house across the road from our new house so she can play with Kerry's little girl who is the same age as Kathryn... and hopefully I'll be painting for the rest of the day, then! :) Then after we put Kathryn to bed I'm hoping me & Adam can go and do a wee bit more too.... :)
