Our bedroom refit starts on Monday. It's a huge undertaking. Everything has to be cleared - we have a lot of stuff in there - and even the floor is being replaced. Not the flooring (well that too) but the actual floor. All new electrics etc etc. Plus the existing fitted wardrobes have to be taken out (there are a lot of them) and the floor and electrics done then all the decorating,m then the new furniture built and then the carpet. It's a lot. The only bits we are doing are the clearingt he room, the decorating and the pitting away. This has been a project in the planning for the last 6 months and I am excited and terrified. The man coming to do the rip out and the floor was on holiday until today. We are hoping he is back safe and sound and ready to go Monday, because the company installing the new furniture which has to be built in situ starts the following Monday. We have borrowed clothes rails for the clothes, the bed will move to the dining room, every room will have 'stuff' in it and you have to bear in mind I am very OCD. I don't cope with mess and untidiness in one room let alone every room. Then we have two nervy boys to cope with who will be terrified of the noise.
So bear with me the next two weeks.
This is what the bedroom looked like when it was redecorated last time - although even then the wardrobes etc were 20 years old. They are now 32 years old and very worse for wear. The carpet was replaced shortly after for cream.
yes that is 8 double wardrobes all to be emptied!!!
One of the things I am excited about it the whole decor is neutral so having been tied to aqua for the past 12 years I have new bedding in navy, in pink, in yellow, in green because now I will be able to have any colour I want.
I keep holding onto that thought as the hell starts!
I have however also been scrapping.

Our beautiful bay
and our harbour
One of our beaches
A less known place for the locals
Fishermans quay
The cross channel ferry back from France - the Condor - just coming back into the harbour
The very narrow harbour entrance with the cross channel ferry going past the local chain ferry over to Studland
and the cross channel ferry int he harbour sailing past Brownsea on it's way to dock
Yes I am indeed so ver very proud of my home town.
Wish me luck for the next two weeks.
Today I am thankful for
- Nigel calming me down when it all gets too much
- the generosity of people lending us rails
