Tidsoptimist

So much for my Sunday night post, late as always, I am a classic “Tidsoptimist”(n) a  person who is always late because they believe they have more time than they do, This is me, I start out with the best intentions, but that job that was gonna take an hour goes on into the wee hours, but I do a lot, more than most, I make all my meals in advance, my breads cakes biscuits, I make all my own clothing, bar pants and shoes, though I can do these, but I’m a lazy crafter, I want it done yesterday with little effort and even less mess/cost, and I am a single mum of 1 and 11, no dads at weekends, holidays, I meet so many women who say, yes I’m a single mum, but the kids see their dads constantly, weekend breaks, holidays breaks, and they have boyfriends who also take major care roles, so yes I’m a proper single mum!  I’m not bitter! so yes a productive weekend the Bae wanted a makeover in her room again! (She’s had so many, she takes it for granted that she can just change when she wants to, so she’d put her fairy blanket up on wall I’d got her fairy lights with a paisley design and also matching napkins to make bunting, pictures, anything just a cheap way to mix the pattern up, the cushions are canvas bags £1.25. so easy to turn into cushions, the throw is 6 silk scarfs I had, I updated the drawers with washi tape on the handles, sweet touch,

I’m so chuffed with was the floor, she’d previously had navy carpet on the floor, I took it up and laid the sticky back plastic, yep sticky back plastic, really pale beech colour, I chopped them into squares, laid them, so easy, then sharpied the plank effect on, she was over the moon, it cost me 6 pound for 6 rolls, I had a lot left I’ve stored under her bed as replacements for scuffs marks, I’ve done this before at my old place, so effective and so cheap, unfortunately when I was cleaning her floor I used my hands to sweep what I thought was dust, it was actually glass tiny tiny shards so my fingers and thumbs are cut to shreds so painful, but it was worth it, she’s not well at the minute so its cheered her up no end and the bude loves it as soon as she leaves for school he’s straight in there. its turned into a psychedelic Alice in wonderland room, I may stay in there tonight its so cosy……………
