Upstairs bedroom is now painted! Rather than a nice but now rather shabby purple it is now yellow. I chose the yellow, a bathroom paint from Wicks called Summer and both Dot and Hoof profess to love it, but I'm not sure I do. Certainly it looks better under natural light than electric and in future I'll pay the extra and get Dulux, their colours seem better suited to my eyes somehow but it's mold resistant so it if lives up to those claims it will be worth every penny.
It dried quickly too, Papacrow finished the second coat off while we were at a birthday party and we moved all the toy boxes up after dinner. Books to sort tomorrow but they'll all be divided up differently- Dot and Hoof have a bookcase each now and Petal has her own shelves so they can all grab what they want and I'll divvy up the rest.
The birthday party was a lot of fun, another home edder so the usual crew and we all had a good old chat. It was Hawaiian themed and the organising mum had put a lot of thought and effort into it. It was perfect for a grey, rainy day- a real splash of sun and fun. Plus I won the adult's towel surfing, go me!

Flung Spray
Well. Yesterday's return to our regular Home Ed meet was lovely and there was lots of catching up, playing and planning for future activities.
Today was all about the upheaval but tonight everyone is sleeping in their new rooms! The upstairs bedroom needs to be repainted tomorrow, the front room is FULL of all the stuff that is going to go into it when that's done and Wig is sleeping on an air-mattress because there is NO point buying a new bed until we've sorted the chaos.
I'm exhausted and I'm definitely not the only one, still, Petal is delighted with her new room, Hoof loves his new (to him) proper bed and Dot is jacked to be promoted to the top bunk. Hopefully we'll get most of the rest of mess conquered... we've already filled our wheely bin and will have to go begging for space in Grandad's as the bins aren't collected until Thursday!

Vagrant Gypsy Life
It's going to be all move again... though admittedly only inside the house!
Hoof really needs a full size bed. Petal really needs her own room. After much discussion, Papacrow has come up with a solution!
Saurus and Roo are coming down from the upstairs bedroom to the downstairs bedroom and Wig is joining them. We will separate the bunk-beds in the downstairs room and buy another full size bed from our local second hand furniture shop. The piano is going out into the hall, the cupboard set there back into the front room. The toy cupboard and clothes cupboards in the downstairs bedroom will be used to divide up the space and to store their clothes.
Dot and Hoof are going upstairs. The bunk-beds in that room are currently separated so will be put back on top of each other, most of the toy boxes will go up to the fitted cupboard, some will go in the front room. Their clothes will go in the chest of drawers in the fitted cupboard and they'll take one bookcase from the downstairs bedroom with them (giving them two, the downstairs bedroom one).
Petal is going into Wig's room. It needs a thorough tidy up and I'll probably take out the broken white shelves. We need to go through the children's dvds anyway and make some decisions, we don't use them much anymore.
Fluff is staying where he is, as he's quite happy in his little room (though it could do with a tidy!), there'll be lots of pictures and shelves to move around, the upstairs bedroom needs repainting and the downstairs one needs sound insulation putting under the carpet.
The move, painting and sound insulation is scheduled to be done next weekend and the jury's still out as to where the monks bench, coat hooks and shoe rack from the downstairs bedroom are going...
