What a week off!!

We have been back at work for 2 days after our week off and what a busy one it was! It started with a family get together at my husbands parents on the saturday night. Proper old school buffet tea and it was lovely.

Easter sunday, whilst most people were tucking into sunday roasts and chilling out, we spent the day clearing through all my crap that had accumulated in the spare room. I have ADHD and it doesn't help me with tasks in the home. I know where everything is if you ask me, but its in a doom pile or a doom carrier bag and I needed my arse kicking. My husband body doubled me for the day and I got rid of so much stuff! I am super proud of myself. Monday we spent planning the decorating of said spare room and going to and from various DIY shops. 

Tuesday we had a well deserved day of rest. Well, I say rest, we took my Mum to York to go to the National Railway Museum. It was a beautiful day too! The sun was shining, it was lovely and warm. We managed to walk the half an hour from the city centre to the museum and spent about 3 hours there before getting the road train back to the minster. We saw a lot of different things, the Flying Scotsman was there, we sat in a Japanese bullet train, trains that were used by the royal family, so many things!

Wednesday we were back to home and started decorating. I have finally managed to get some pink in the house!! I have had some beautiful blue and pink Julian MacDonald wallpaper for about 7 years, just waiting for a place to put it. I got just 2 rolls from a reduced section and thats what I decided to base our new spare room around. We painted 2 of the walls a really nice dusty pink colour, we used Crown paint in Pashmina, then 2 walls of the wallpaper. It took us the rest of our time off to get it all decorated, build the bed and put all the finishing touches and we are so pleased with how it turned out! 

Its so perfect, its my new favourite room in the house! I have already said to my husband, if you can't find me I will be on the day bed reading.

But this week was back to reality and back to work again. Can't wait for our 2 weeks off together in summer!
