@thenewaveragebear1983 I made your cottage pie last night, but without the potatoes as I want it to top jackets. The taste was delicious but the consistency was a bit like baby food and I wonder if I blitzed all the veg up too small. I’ve frozen it this morning and I’m sure on days when Im worn out I’ll be grateful to just cook a potato with the topping already prepared. Thank you, Im sure it will become a regular meal here.
sadly the end of the decorating is still far away. We’ve been working for 28 days on this room (I’m keeping a diary). DD is coming tomorrow to paint the walls and of course they’ll need two coats.
I think I’m losing the plot a bit! We spent ages looking for paint yesterday and I bought some, sat in the car and said to DP this isn’t right we’ll have to go somewhere else. He was not amused but I bought two separate pots of paint completely different colours and I have to decide today before DD comes tomorrow.
Also, when I went to pay for the flooring, I changed my mind and ordered one that had completely been discarded when I first looked 🤷♀️. I usually know exactly what I want and I can go straight for it, but I think I’ve got room of doom fatigue and I can’t seem to get my head around anything.
Arriving today is a new dog bed for this room. Because greyhounds have such thin coats I’ve decided I want them off the floor so I bought a bed that they have to step up to and if they like it, I’ve got two more to buy. I’ve also got to choose a blind, a fire and another lamp. That’s another point, when I took the lamp back that was faulty the lady was quite arsey with me. We had plugged it in charged it for two days just to make sure and the bloody thing didn’t work and it was a pain to take back and then she was acting as if Id broken it.
my eating has been horrendous and I am gaining weight weekly and I know this has to stop and I keep telling myself it has to stop and I’ve gone back up to a size 16. You’d think that all the work we’ve done I would be skeletal by now but when it gets to evening and I’m absolutely shattered, I just reached for the chocolate and as you all know I can eat an awful lot of chocolate.
Today will be another working day. I’ve got to make sure all the skirtings and coving are free from wallpaper adhesive. When we had our middle dog, she was terrified overnight and scratched the door to bits so that’s all got to be filled in and painted. I’ve got to caulk the windows, I won’t go on there’s so much to do.
i hope everyone is doing well. It’s pouring with rain here so I doubt we’ll go out as greyhounds hate the rain, plant their feet down and won’t move (so unlike my old collies who would walk for hours in the rain). I suppose it will give us longer to get on with the room of doom and gloom though.
have a great weekend.
