I've been spring cleaning like a mad woman, the trouble is, once you start, you notice other things that need cleaning. Even the dog started to look worried....
and he should have, it was his turn next....he was brushed, bathed, dried, clipped, trimmed and brushed some more. He didn't like the bath bit but he enjoyed the rest of the pampering pooch session. He no longer looks bushy and is all ready for summer.
I've swept, weeded, tidied and planted out in the garden.
I have stopped spring cleaning now though, and am starting to feel a bit under the weather. I have a cold coming on and my throat is starting to hurt, oh no :(
Yesterday I had a trip to Ikea earlier this week
We ate some lunch in the restaurant. Organic veg soup, a roll and a organic strawberry yogurt - all of which were delicious. Mr Fuzz had fish & chips with tartar sauce, which he enjoyed and then was only too happy to carry on mooching around the store with me. I bought a double quilt cover with 4 pillow cases....for the bargain price of £1.99...isn't that just crazy?! £1.99! I love the print, it matches my bedroom colours too. I love new bedding and I love bedding with a white background, it is so clean and fresh looking. I am one happy Easter bunny.
I also bought a Ribba frame for this poster that I've had a while and only just remembered about. I know, as usual I am probably the last person in blogland to get this on my wall - OH NO the bloomin' frame is too small. Oh well it looks like I'll have to get a new mount for it.
I am looking forward to Kirstie Allsop's new programme, Kirstie's Homemade Home which is on Channel 4 and starts next week. I read about it in this article in last Sunday's newspaper.
It is all about her renovating a cottage in Devon, restoring furniture, learning new skills, such as block printing, sewing, etc and doing as much of the work herself as possible. Sounds just like the sort of programme that will be popular here in blogland. I hope it is as good as it sounds.
Oooh, that programme does look like it might be worth a look ...

Hi Angie, I didnt know you had a lovely dog. You sound as if youve been busy! Nice Ikea bargains, but Ikea on a rainy bank holiday - are you insane?

My dog got a bath etc today! That looks like it will be an interesting programme - thanks for the tip off. Have a happy Easter and hope you feel better soon.

OOh yes I've already Sky+d that programme, right up our street. Haven't been to Ikea for a while, might pop in for a browse soon. BTW I found it very difficult to find a standard sized frame for that poster,it's in an old one from a boot sale at the moment but it's a tight fit. Hope you find a suitable one ok.
Enjoy the weekend.
