Sunday again! This past week has flown over. I don't know if it's because we had a Bank Holiday at the start of the week, it has been the half term break or we're at the end of May. Whatever it is I feel like I need a refund on this week as it has just gone in a blur. It has been a great week. I have done a lot of pottering around the house, had a day out with the girls and sorted the problem of Ellie's tiny bedroom! A productive week all round! Even yesterday was a busy day sorting out upstairs after having everything upside down with sorting Ellie's room. Once everything was tidied I even hoovered the stairs which usually isn't a Saturday job as Becky is usually sleeping after or before her night shift but she is out.
Today is going to be all about relaxing, well for me it is. The girls have plans so Stu and I are free to do whatever we want. I think we might have a lunch out. This month we have cut down on the amount of times that we eaten out, we ate out at the start of the month and that is it. We got to a point where we seemed to be eating out every week that it didn't feel special anymore.
Now for a photo every day!
145/365 - 25th May.
We've had plenty of rain this week which means there have of course been rainbows in the sky! The rain has been silly! Like yesterday we left the house and it was raining by the time we had got 5 minutes down the road it has stopped and the sun had came out. I took my coat off as I was too warm. Five minutes after that it was raining again. lol

I was about to pull this out thinking it was a weed but I thought to check on my Plant Identifier app and it turns out it is a sunflower. I did plant some wildflower seeds but didn't think sunflowers were included.
147/365 - 27th May.
It was nice to get on the bus on the way home just to have a sit down and get out of the rain. Usually we would stop for a sit on a bench while walking around town but because of the rain there was nowhere to sit. Hmmf.
148/365 - 28th May.
I tidied up the corner of the living room that was a dumping ground for all things random. I love my shelves filled with random things like Lego but it is so hard to do the dusting, I always fear that I am going to drop the models. It looks so much better now.

Ellie's bed was taken away to be shortened so she was sleeping on the mattresses on the floor. We're shortening the bed so it would fit across her room instead of down the long wall. Before anyone says we should just buy her a new bed have your tried to find one under 6ft long. It would have meant paying a silly amount for a custom built bed.
150/365 - 30th May.
Why pay for a custom built bed when my dad and brother are good at finding a solution for things like this. They chopped it down to size, rebuilt it and it was even more sturdy than it was before. The also took some of the height off so it would fit better under her window but still leave room to put the drawers back under the bed.

The bed it up and it fits!! Phew! There is now a big space behind Ellie's door where there will be a dressing table going. Her clothes rail is going to go onto her wall and Stu doesn't need to move the TV. Just after I took this photo we realised the TV would twist round on it's bracket attached to the wall. She just moved her mountain of pillows to the other end of the bed and that has saved Stu a job of moving the TV.
