While the cat's away...............

Marshland-Dad is back for one night.

Isabelle has managed to pull herself away from her bedroom and is staying at one of her friend's houses tonight, leaving her room empty. So not one to miss an opportunity, Libby has tucked herself up in Isabelle's new double bed. Again a little moral victory for Libby over her big sister (although, in her defence she did ask Isabelle's permission first).

To ensure I don't get bored through the winter, I have decided to make a start on our bedroom. To say it needed updating is an understatement. There is newspaper filling in holes behind the wallpaper from 1960 (not that we lived here in the 1960's). But starting on our room before Libby's room has ensured she tells everyone she sees that she's hard done to by having to wait until last to get her room done. Aren't children priceless?!
