First thing this morning Mark was at the tip taking the cardboard from Anais new bedroom furniture and the drawers out of her old wardrobe. Last night he lined two of the walls with lining paper so this morning we gave them a coat of paint and then headed off to Ikea.
We don't tend to go to Ikea that often, Mark compare's it to The Crystal Maze without the crystals or fun games! We only went twice last year, once in December and once in January.
After looking on the internet we knew what we were going for, and with the promise of a hot dog at the end the kids were well behaved and no-one got lost either so it was a productive trip! We got a desk and chair, a wall light, ceiling light and some mirror's all for Anais bedroom.
I also picked up this cute little vase for £1 which reminded me of a milk bottle from when I was at infant/junior school in the 80's. We were trying to explain to Anais about milk monitor's and two people helping to carry a crate, milk in glass bottles, milk freezing in winter and milk with a layer of cream around the top of the bottle. Neither of them were interested, they are used to school milk in cartons with straws!

Tonight we had tea (chilli with cous cous and nachos) and then Anais and Roman watched "The Muppet's" on Netflix while we got on with Anais bedroom. Mark assembled the desk and put up the mirror's.
There was one more wall to wallpaper which Mark is doing now and then there is the door and bed frame to paint and it is all DONE! Mark has Monday off work as his last day holiday so he said the more he gets done now the less he has to do on Monday and we can go out for the day although we don't know where yet.
Here is Anais new chair which was painted AND assembled by moi!

I brought this red velvet cupcake mix when I was shopping yesterday. There was some white icing left over from when Anais made the planet cupcakes on Wednesday so this afternoon Anais and Roman made these for tomorrow. Instead of six big ones we did twelve fairy cake sized ones instead.
Last night I finished my book Sophie Kinsella "The Undomestic Goddess". We haven't watched ANY television since we finished the entire Breaking Bad series last Monday which means lots of lovely time on a night to read!
