27 july



It's been my birthday today but rather than doing anything majorly exciting, the children have been out at a friend's party and I've spent the day in the company of the tiler who squeezed us in at short notice and this was his only slot. Oh, and the window cleaner popped round too.

Not the most celebratory of days do I hear you utter? Ah, but my bathroom has been tidied up, the downstairs loo re-floored and my windows positively sparkle now. I've had some lovely gifts and wonderful cards made by the children but it's funny how getting older changes our views on birthdays. It will be the boy's big day later this week but I dare say it'll take more than clean windows to make it memorable!

    Happy birthday, Kate! You sound very content so it must have been a good one. I like shiny windows and clean floors too, especially when someone else does them for me so it all makes perfect sense to me. T x

    Happy, Happy Birthday! Now watching someone else clean your house..that is remarkable and something to celebrate. Your loo looks georgeous..love the wall decor as well as the new flooring. I also love your window catch and its curly handle!

    Happy birthday Kate - it's the simply every day things that make all the difference.
