Lauren received her ballet trophy (at last!!) ~ she was very very pleased to get it!!!! Lauren took this photo and this is where the trophy seems to be living ~ for a bit!!
Hurray!! ~ New bed for my little lad (at last!!)
The finished bed!! (please excuse my ironing basket ~ I have no idea how it ended up under the bed!!!!!!?????)
Another photo taken by Lauren ~ a close up this time ~ just for the blog !!!!!
Once again I am sitting here typing this and I am half dead (ha ha!!!). I think that I will take a weekend off next week and stay in bed all day (yeah sure!! ~ like that will really happen !!!).
Lauren finally got her Ballet Trophy, which she is so proud of and has taken it with her everywhere (and I mean everywhere ~ bathroom and toilet included ha ha!!). The name plates that are being engraved still have not arrived ~ but should be here soon, so then it will have a little plaque under the trophy with Laurens name and the grade she attained in the exam etc. She has been waiting a while for it and asking me literally every day when it would arrive ~ so I am very pleased that she has it now!!!
Daniels bed is now safely installed in the newly painted bedroom, he loves it. I went and bought both of them a new quilt set each, Daniel wanted Bart Simpson and Lauren had High School Musical. She is most upset that her brother now has his new bed and hers hasn't arrived yet!! They are coming from the same supplier, only difference is that Laurens is white, where Daniels is pine ~ but that seems to have caused a delay and at the moment I still have no idea of a delivery date!! The novelty of sleeping on the Ready bed sort of wore off tonight, but I gave her the HSM set and that seemed to make it more appealing again!! (Please let the other bed come sooner rather than later!!!!). There is still quite a bit to do ~ I haven't ironed or hung the curtains yet and the room still needs sorting out. I managed to get the wardrobe that I no longer needed in there taken apart, and that is now in pieces in the garage (I think I will have to hire a skip and empty the garage out next ha ha!!). Unfortunately, everything that was in the wardrobe has now found a new home on the bedroom floor and will need sorting out tomorrow.....no peace for the wicked ~ tee hee!!
I decided today that the livingroom make over is going to have to wait ~ doing the bedroom has been harder than I thought ~ thank god for my friend Jane and her husband who have helped with clearing the room out and putting up the bed etc, there is just no way that I would have got it all done on my own!!
Hopefully by next weekend it will be sorted (I am sure I said that last weekend ha ha!!), and then the children can get in there and mess it all up again (that's what bedrooms are for !!).
For now I am going to go and look in the fridge and try and find something to nibble on ~ this bedroom sorting is great for the diet ~ I have been so busy I have hardly eaten a thing all day !! ~ I am sure there is a bar of chocolate lurking in there somewhere !!

i'm sooooooooo proud for lauren that she got her trophy. it's so darling. they don't do that here; but it is a great idea. tell her i dig it!!!
daniel's bed is cool as well... comforter set et. al.!!! too bad the supplier is still wait for lauren's coat of white paint to dry, HA!!! isn't it crazy how delivery works.
i'm sure that the hsm bedding will keep her happy for another few nights or so... is she sleeping with her trophy tonight???
eat your chocolate and get a good night's rest. sweet dreams:D

Hi there Dani ~ I am totally whacked!! I should be in bed now, but I got side tracked with other things and still haven't found that chocolate ha ha!! Probably just as well ~ I have done so well on the diet, chocolate probably isn't a good idea!!
Lauren has taken the trophy to bed with her ~ I have taken it and put it on the bedside table ~ I will tell her you liked it in the morning ~ she loves looking at other blogs and loves your dog ~ she wants one just like that (maybe oneday!!!). I hope Laurens bed comes soon, they were ordered at the same time ~ as you said it is that coat of white paint that has delayed it ha ha!!
Have a great evening.
love ~ Tabitha XXX

You are amazing. What a huge job for you to do, but the results are fantastic.
Lauren looks thrilled in each of her photos with her trophy, as she should be. Please pass on my congratulations to her as this is a wonderful achievement. I think that is one of the most special trophies I have ever seen.
Daniel's bed looks great and what a treat to have a new quilt as well. Fingers crossed that Lauren's bed arrives soon.
I really hope that you get a little bit of time to do something you enjoy this weekend my friend.
Love and hugs
Elise
Congratulations to Lauren on her beautiful trophy! Cute pictures of her too! ANd what a nice bed - I love that it sits off the ground and has all that room under it for storage or a desk - cute!

You are always so busy! Your little girl looks so proud of her new trophy. So cute!
Hi Elise,
The room overhaul is long overdue, we have lived here 2 and a half years and for the last 18 months I have been meaning to swap the rooms and paint etc ~ it just never happened (until now!!).
Lauren's trophy is her pride and joy, she is certainly very proud!!
Dan has slept like a log in his new bed, I too hope that Laurens bed hurries up!
Thankfully I have relaxed a bit today, although I did hang the curtains!! XX

Thanks Tanya!!
It has been a real killer doing that room, but the end is in sight!!
I passed your high five onto Lauren and she was most pleased. I did manage a bit of 'me' time today and it has made me feel alot better!! Glad my e mail got to you!!
