Sat, Nov 22nd

With 4 weekends before Brady and Jim arrive, and just 5 before Christmas, time is running out for us to get everything ready. This week we also have Thanksgiving to worry about too. Which was why Dawn was not looking forward to the grocery shopping today. Usually, the Saturday before Thanksgiving is one of worst grocery shopping days of the year. Thankfully, we picked up our turkey and trimmings at the local Tesco and not a Publix store (like Dawn was worrying about).

With that out of the way, we headed back to Stevenage to pick up the curtains we ordered last Saturday and some more bits and pieces from Homebase.

Back at the house Dawn put up some wall paper to cover the wall on the landing that had the worst damage, while I tried to plaster over a lot of the cracks and damage downstairs. By the time I'd finished, the floor had more of the white powder than the walls. But, with me that was a given from the outset.

One other good piece of news is that we ordered a cheap futon bed for the spare room from IKEA. Hopefully that will be here on Friday.
