Hope youre feeling better now Tanya. I should be sleeping but am watching a great series on Netflick. We like dark colours our front room is a deep scarlet and we have one black wall in the kitchen and the rest grey with silver picture frames etc. It looks really good but not everyone likes dark colours! I hate the smell of paint so we always buy Breatheasy by crown but even that smells to me lol. Yuk xxxx

I like dark colours too.. but not chocolate brown thrown on a wall with streaks and runs and in silk lol... it was horrific!! and the blood red out kitchen is gross because it is not painted properly, she literally SLAPPED the paint on... ew!! I have got a before and after pic of lounge.. just painting the living room hall stairs landing and small bedroom cream.. will do kitchen up as 60's retro with Volkswagen wallpaper and doing it up funky.. bedrooms are not too bad so they can be last.. I love colour on a feature wall... im going to buy a bold wallpaper for the living room main wall

I currently have a deep purple feature wall in my bedroom and other 3 white x

 

[Soanxious]

This is what previous people called decorating!!!

And this is going on feature wall in Kitchen/diner all other walls white

I have had to chop down almost 4ft of grass and kill all the weeds and moss that suffocated the lawn... so this is it after a cut with weedkiller doing it's job...

A few months ago we swapped our playroom and dining room round. We haven't got round to decorating the new dining room yet so this is our current decoration!



We have recently got planning permission (on appeal) to turn our current double garage into a room and build a new detached garage to the side with a bigger drive. I am also having a new kitchen and maybe knocking a door through from kitchen to play room. also putting eldest dd into current spare room which she wants pink, so lots of decorating will be needed here!

 

[Left wonderin]

Dance that sounds like a big job !! I love decorating my next mission is our spare room/ office is turning into a playroom/ office to accommodate LO toy collection as they grow !! Have to get the colour charts out

Lovin the pics Tanya great to see before and after. House looks lovely. Must take some pics of the garden when dh finishes it God ladies its hard work atm Brooklyn is super fast now and has a Playpen aversion so im chasing him all over the show. When does it get easier lol. On the plus side he loves all the food we give him and hes slept right through since 7 weeks so i mustn't grumble! Xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Dh would LOVE that wallpaper! Xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

7 weeks ! Sean is heading for 11 weeks and no sign of the night feeds ending ! They appear to be his favourite and the times heats most !! Sounds like you have your hands full lol ...

 

[Oasis717]

He will get there yes it was only 6 hours at 7 weeks he does 12 now but oh boy does he make up for it in the day! Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

I love seeing before and after pics..

It's nice when they sleep through the night x

 

[crysshae]

Lovely home Tanya. It'll look great when you have it all the way you want it.

Regina - Does he stay awake a lot...or just nurse longer?

 

[Left wonderin]

No cry I can't complain he only wakes to feed and once he is done he goes straight back to sleep . He nurses for longer and with more gusto ! Lol

 

[Soanxious]

Becks best not show him the wallpaper or you maybe decorating again LOL x

 

[Soanxious]

We just fitted new blinds.. we needed longer screws so only had enough to do the livingroom today so bedrooms will be done tomorrow... but looking so much nicer

Cant wait till whole house has new blinds up tomorrow

 

[crysshae]

Tanya - You're gonna feel like you have a whole new house after just getting a new house.

Regina - That's good. If he sleeps a little longer at night than he does during the day, that might be why he eats a bit more. If not, it could be a difference in let down or he's making up for not eating as much during the day. If he doesn't cry or stay up, that's very good. All my breastfed babies continued night feeds longer than friend's and family's formula fed babies. My pediatrician told me my milk doesn't have as much fat in it as some ladies have. My little ones got the nutrients they needed, but they didn't get roly poly like formula fed babies or some other breastfed babies. I just always kept them in bed with me and once they were big enough, I would help them get latched and doze till they were done. Then switch to the other side the next time they woke.
