Thursday again

Hi

Wow I'm knackered - I end up doing much more when Andy is around - I don't want him to witness how lazy I can be when he is not here - even though when he is here he always says - just sit down and chill!

Today I have finished getting the annex ready - for our eleventh guest.  They turned up about 3pm - and they are soooo nice!  Plus they gushed about the annex so that will always make me like people!

I've been out to B&Q and bought poles to put up around the four poster bed in the guest room - where Andy also sleeps a lot because he gets kicked out of our bed for snoring!  I then went to Dunelm and bought curtains and bedding.  Managed to get the curtains up - but could only buy one pair in store, I've had to order the others online.  This is how it looks with one of the pairs of curtains up:

So - I'm hoping when all the curtains are up - as well as matching ones at the window (which Andy said not to get because it ends up too expensive - but I ordered them anyway!) it will look awesome!

I need to stop spending money though because I've bought too many things for the house lately! I need to rein it in!

Did I mention we hit all the criteria for Super-host on Airbnb?  Probably did....it wont come into effect until July 1st - but that's only 10 days away!

Weekend with Lissa

Hi!

So...I drove to Staines on Friday, it took about 3 hours but was fine.  I spent some time shopping!  Was really nice because it has been ages since I've had a look around for new clothes - bought a few tops and trousers - mainly from Next - and had a coffee and sandwich before heading to Lissa's.  She'd left a key for me but I only arrived about 10 minutes before she did.  Her house is looking really nice and cozy!

We ended up just sat on the couch chatting and catching up loads and having a drink - it was really good because me and Lissa can chat forever.  We went to bed not too late and not too drunk!  Unfortunately because I slept in their spare room it meant that when Antony started snoring Lissa ended up downstairs on the couch.  I was just peacefully drifting off to sleep when Lissa let out a proper scream from downstairs - followed by another and then a few more - I SHOT out of bed and ran...I found her at the bottom of the stairs surrounded by black and white fur!  Black fur from her cat and white fur from a cat that had let itself in through the catflap...she was screaming because they started to properly fight and she couldnt get them apart!  Antony (who is completely deaf in one ear) slept through it all!!  This was surprising because I'm sure both their neighbours would have heard it lol.  It took a few years off my life and was a bit difficult trying to get back to sleep with such a fast heart beat! lol.

Saturday - we took our time and then made our way into London for the show (Wicked).  We picked up the tickets and time to kill so went to the pub where Lissa managed to spill her drink all over my leg! lol.  Then we bought a bottle of wine in the theatre and made our way to our seats...we thought that somebody was sat in our seats but were told that we had much better seats in the stalls - not theirs!

The show was really good - although by the interval I was pretty wasted and spent the 2nd half of the show sobering up! lol.  Afterwards we went for a Mexican meal and cocktails which was awesome!

Took us a while to get home - and we in bed pretty soon afterwards!  Both nights we were in bed just before midnight - I'd say I was getting too old but Lissa is worse than me!

It was an awesome weekend and well worth the journey!  Andy did okay with the guests whilst I was away although he missed them at the door when they arrived (at first - then he heard them) and as they left (he was on the loo!) lol.  They still left an awesome review!

I drove back from Lissa's on Sunday - got home about 2pm - it was fathers day so I stopped off and got him a card and pressie (Bourbon) off the cats :-)
