TGIF!

By the time I left home at 5.30am this morning almost all the snow had disappeared and there wasn't even much in the way of ice either fortunately. I'm afraid that Mr(?) Snowman is now no more than just a memory on my blog. Had a long conversation with Jo last night about the usual things - work, weddings, more work and she mentioned that they still have loads of snow in Oxfordshire, so much in fact that she wasn't sure she was going to be able to get the car out for work. I have to say I'm jealous but have hopes that maybe we'll get some more soon, although today definitely isn't the day. London is distinctly gray and drizzly, in fact a really very depressing day.

Talking of weddings, Jo is still trying to find a venue and is currently looking at Tuscany as an option. I have to say I'm very much in favour of this option as I'd love to go on holiday to Italy. *LOL*

Tonight my stash is going back behind the sofa so my chances of getting anything on Product Playground done is fairly remote. However, I need to get the lounge tidy so that I can clear out my bedroom. I have been offered the services of a decorator (and as it has been almost 9 years since it was last done it is well overdue) but it needs to be done next week while he is still at a loose end work-wise so this weekend is going to be spent removing everything from there and the only place for it to go is in the lounge. Yes I know that now would be a good time to have another major clearout (someone mentioned Life Laundry and someone else mentioned a skip!) but as we all know I am completely hopeless at dumping anything that might be even vaguely construed as possibly useful in any conceivable way, so whilst it would be nice to think I'll have a minimalist bedroom when I've finished the reality is likely to be somewhat different. I'm sure the answer must lie in storage, but alas I can't even seem to get that right. What I really need is some lifestyle guru to come and get tough with me, whilst showing me how to make the best of the space I have available. *LOL*

Parents and others concerned by my purple fetish will be pleased to know that the room is going to be decorated in white rather than purple, but I haven't yet decided on the accent colour. I have seen some gorgeous lush deep red cushions which would look wonderful, but then I have also seen a beautiful dark purple velvet throw, and also some lovely dark blue curtains. Whatever the final decision, at least it'll have been decorated which is a good start!

I see from browsing Gary's site that Gemma is expecting another baby. Congratulations to them. Also on there are some pictures of Raven and Persia. They both look so cute!
