Flashback Friday - Bathroom

As Mummy From the Heart Michelle has had me thinking about my house this week in the Nosey Blogger meme, I thought I would post a picture of my bathroom as it was when we moved in to our house five years ago.

Not only was the bathroom hideous, the plumbing was so bad that it would take forever to fill the bath.  We also had a truly unpleasant blocked toilet situation to deal with days after moving in. I knew I had made the right decision to be with my new man when I saw him up to his elbow in sewage trying to sort out the problem! Luckily for you, I did not have the presence of mind to take photographic evidence!

My bathroom is still a way from giving me my luxury spa experience but it does me good to look back at where we came from.

Apology

I have been advised to remove this post by my daughter's Policeman boyfriend.

It is a shame that we have to even consider that information that we share with Blogger friends could fall into the wrong hands and be used to our detriment but hey, that's life now :(

It was fun while it lasted.

Reasons to be Cheerful

ONE

On Monday, we had our belated Royal Wedding Street Party. It was a little blustery but the sun shone and I had a lovely time. It was a really good opportunity to meet the neighbours that, despite our proximity, I rarely see. My little girl enjoyed playing with another little girl of a similar age that I vaguely remember being born then forgot all about. Hopefully, she can now become a regular playmate.

We did have one embarrassing moment when my little girl decided it would be fun to decorate an elderly neighbour's mobility scooter with Union Jack flags then climb on and make racing car noises!

TWO

Tomorrow, we are having the second of our Alphabet Dates. I am enjoying making plans for that.

THREE

My daughters have been invited to play a set at a local music festival that gives new bands an opportunity to showcase their talents. I don't have all the details because it is Liberty who is liaising with the organiser but I am very excited to see how four girls playing instruments together and singing are suddenly becoming "a band". 

As well as that event to look forward to, Charis is also performing in two upcoming amateur dramatics productions. Rehearsals are well underway and costumes are starting to appear.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than supporting my children in their endeavours and having my moment to be the proud mummy in the audience.
