Working Sunday

After writing last nights blog Lincoln went to bed but threw up the Calpol this time all over his bed clothes, so we decided best to cover the sofa with blankets and let him watch TV sat up allowing his tummy to stay where it is. I stripped his bed and got that in the […]

Honestly ill

I can not remember the last time either child was sick so when Lincoln took a turn this afternoon it was unusual, although he does suffer the odd headache, but paracetamol usually perks him up. He got on the couch and went to sleep and stayed there until tea time and although he did eat […]

Lazy days and Sundaze

Didn’t do a great deal today after yesterday’s roofing exertion, which I am pretty proud of if I do say so myself. So today was declared a thinking day sat in the garden looking at my shed and working out what the next stage is going to be. I want to get the rear wall […]

Shed roofed

Very warm day up on the roof but got it finished and with so little wastage I can not believe. When I had finished the last ridge shingle I had 4 left, which I was so amazed by because I was concerned about having to order an extra pack just because I was one or […]

Roofin’ it

Made a start on adding shingles to my shed today  it was a learning curve but I quickly sussed it out and was off and running and hopefully I can get it finished over this weekend…
