Another day....

Today started well - my 10 year old woke me up at 6:15am(that wasn't so good) with a cup of tea. Dad's away so he's the man of the house until tonight!

Finally get his sister out of bed and fed and we are off to school at 7:45am. Arrive at school, have to track down headmaster to get into his garage to obtain pole stomper (or something like that for the school fete). Garage door closes on headmaster's head nearly knocking him out! Not sure if that is good or bad! Spend most of the morning sorting thorugh box after box of dirty dusty books ready for the book stall for the fete. At least I was inside, others were out putting up tents in the rain.

Midday I am at a meeting with client who is unhappy because the builder has used his loo and not flushed it. Would I remind the builder to flush! Next meeting - the plumber who seems to have decided to either not see me or lost his voice, either way I am ready to make sure he hears mine.

We have knocked through into new ensuite, and piping is going in ready for bathroom utilities and the underfloor heating. Mustn't forget to ensure the fantastic bath from Fired Earth is ready to arrive on time. Also got to order the TV and work out how many tiles we will need for both the floor and tiles. If you want to use a ready reckoner for working out amount of tiles per square metre a great site to use is http://www.wickes.co.uk/page/floorwalltiles

Next pick up lights for another client who needs them for her bricklayer tomorrow. Her patio is ahead of schedule so I need to get ahead as well.

Back to the office to sort out a colour scheme for a 5-bedroom house, using neutrals but still needing to see some colour. Neutrals are great to play around with, and there are so many variations of white - have you looked at all the colour cards you can get for paints these days?

4:30pm and it is almost time to go and pick kids up from Swimming Training and then get son to Cubs.

Who knows what tomorrow may bring....
