In spite of working from home, every day of the week, I still get that Friday feeling. It, as you may know, is pizza night in my house which is a well loved family tradition.

The problem was though, today we had no pizza. I had to take a break from work at lunch time for a mercy dash to pick up our pizzas. In case you’re wondering, yes I can make pizza at home. I was taught by an Italian lady and yes they are tasty but, it involves making the dough and waiting for it to prove etc. etc. When I make my pizza, it is normally on a Saturday and I don’t do it every week. Just when we fancy it!

Pizzas picked up and icecream which we have afterwards, I returned home. Another afternoon of sticking the insulating panels onto my ceiling. I’ve nearly finished now. I have a couple of pieces to stick up in the other bedroom. These will be tricky as they are over the stairs and I don’t have a special ladder. I’ve tipped the kids off to be ready as I’ll need them to hold the ladder firmly while I go up and measure, then stick the panels on. I’ll be glad when they’re done. My life doesn’t feel my own at the moment. I’m desperate to paint and create. I don’t feel like sticking up polystyrene, up and down the ladder but, my desire to paint is driving me on to finish the job!

On Monday, there is a plasterboard expert coming to see the ceilings and to work out what he needs to do to make a smooth white ceiling out of my panneling which will be skimmed and I’ll give it some good coats of paint. I’m starting to feel excited at the prospect of having brighter and warmer rooms. I’m planning on buying some new furniture and making over some old pieces!
