No I am not about to have a baby but we have got one more day to get everything sorted in Foxglove that needs doing before the flooring goes down. One more bit of skirting to fit and all the radiators need to be filled, pressurised and tested for leaks. It all hinges on this now cause then if all goes o.k then Foxglove will be transformed by Saturday. This is the part I am really excited about but also very nervous about. All the flooring and carpets will be down, furniture, dining furniture, mattress will arrive so I can finally make up the bed and put on my new bedspread that I bought 6 or 7 weeks ago and then I can start to make it look like home. Please, please, please let everything match. With a bit of luck we should finally be able to stay the night if all goes to plan.
