UBC #5 - Welcome to the 70`s!!

Ok then, post number 2 today.

In my earlier post I mentioned that my littlest man is ill and that I am shattered because of this.

What is the worst thing that your hubby could say to you when you are exhausted???

"Hunny, the boys and I have decided to start redecorating the lounge"

What??? Now...mid afternoon with no preparation????

We have been talking about starting it now for a few weeks, but not today when I feel like a zombie and with no preparation, we haven't even decided if we are going to paint or wallpaper, let alone a colour!!

Here are a few photos of what has been found under 3 layers of wallpaper.

Welcome to the 70`s

Who in their right mind has these colours for their lounge???

Fair to say we weren't planning on finding these alluring colours so will now have to paint it all white before we can either wallpaper or paint it.

Why is nothing ever simple and straight forward when it comes to DIY?

UBC #4

Ooops, only 5 days into the  Ultimate Blog Challenge and I'm already a day behind :'(

My 4 1/2 month old has a really bad cold and seems to be constantly attached to me.

He is only sleeping an hour or so at a time so we are both shattered, luckily hubby is helping loads with my 2 other boys.

I know I shouldn't use that as an excuse as I know many of you bloggers out there have big families and still have time to blog every day. 

I take my hat off to you if you can blog every day!!!

Will try and do another blog later on tonight xx 

UBC Blog #3 - Guess my favorite film

Today I`ve decided to post a few quotes from one of my favourite films.

Let`s see who can guess the film!!!

"Write that down"

"Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere!!"

"Don't be a fool, wrap your tool"

UBC Blog #2...He rolled over!!

Benjamin rolled over properly for the first time today, in fact he did two in row covering half of the width of the lounge!!!!

Perfect timing for me to blog about it as I am already struggling to get a blog sorted for each day of this month.

My little man is growing up so quickly.

Almost 5 months old already, feels like only yesterday I was in labor and unexpectedly having him on my bed with all my family around me, I`d planned a water birth at the local midwife led unit; he obviously had other ideas!!

I will in time write about his rapid entry into this world....but that`s for another day. xxx

Ultimate Blog Challenge - Day #1

Right then , here goes....I`m going to try my hardest to complete the Ultimate Blog Challenge....31 blogs in 31 days.

I cannot promise a blog EVERY day but will try to publish 31 blogs in 31 days. Its going to be a mammoth task for me as I`ve only just started blogging so not very confident in my writing skills
and am feeling a little low at the moment as having a hard time with the brood.

Nothing has been done in the house for the last few days as my youngest who is 19 weeks has started teething in a big way, I have also started to wean him so I`m unsure which is causing him to be so grumpy and clingy.

I am hoping that having a task of a blog a day will keep my brain functioning as the lack of sleep is starting to take its toll.

A tired me with
my gorgeous
lil man.
Terrible selfie!!

My plan of what to do and when is coming together nicely as over the next few weeks I have a few days out planned to attractions in my area and a 70th birthday celebration weekend away in London where we are going to see the amazing Lion King in the West End.

So then blog number 1 down, only 29 to go!!!!!!!!!
