Guest room make over

Hello all,
I hope you are enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon, its the only day it hasn't rained here this week.

This year as one of my goals/to-do items I wanted to get on an decorate a few if not all rooms in the house. We moved in about 2 and a half years ago and the decor was in a pretty OK state and not a bad palette of colours that we chose to live with it plus we had no money for such a task lol

Now however... Still no money for the job but I have started the make over and I have tried to do it on a budget. I wanted to make a start quite early on this year so that it didn't fall to the back of the list and never end up getting done.

I have made my first start on our spare room. Here is a photo of what it looked like.

It's only a small box room and everything is a mess.

As you can see in the before picture I had been playing around with wall paper samples and to be honest this is quite tidy from the state it had been in, before this there was a larger desk and a dressing table in there.

I want this to become a functional spare bedroom and a nice place to be even if the space is small. I want people to be able to stop over (I say people but I really just mean my best friend after we've been on a night out lol) and also if my little boy is hard to settle then it will be nice to have a single bed to snuggle up in and get him to sleep.

I'll update you with the finished room soon :)

Weight loss #8

 

Happy New Year!!!!

 

Right we're already about a week into 2014 and I'm back into weight loss with renewed motivation :)

 

I went and weighed in on 30/12/13

 

Weigh in update: +1.5lb

 

So I'm not where I wanted to be going into 2014 but I don't think that's too bad for over the festive period. So with this gain I start 2014 at 12st 7lb. I did start with a good attitude but haven't been able to fully dedicate myself this week as on the 31st December and 1st January I was away celebrating the new year with family and there is only so much you can do when eating in other peoples homes and travelling. I have however been very good and on track since then and my first weigh in of 2014 is tomorrow.

 

 

I have set my self a challenge to lose 20lb in 3 months (or to be really precise 13 weeks) I don't want to be messing around all year losing weight I want to achieve my goals so for a 1/4 year goal I have a wedding to go to and I would like to wear a nice dress instead of feeling fat, frumpy and getting down about it.

 

I hope you all have had a great Christmas and are about to have a fantastic new year. please share with me your goals and join me in this challenge, we can all do it together :)

 

Talk soon xx

 

 

The begining

This first blog is going to be short and sweet to ease myself gently into this.

For anyone who reads this I'm not sure exactly what direction this blog is going to take. I have started this to document my thoughts, ideas and life.

I am not a great writer so there may be spelling mistakes, bad grammar and I will probably not use paragraphs correctly so please if your reading this don't pull me up on it. (Thanks)

So I will be blogging away in the near future and if you would like to come along for the journey then please feel free to follow me.

Ok, thats enough for now :)
