Hi Em and NataLeah! original.gif

Em, i've been decluttering and working on our bedroom atm too as we are getting a new bedroom suite in the next couple of weeks. We bought paint today to get in there and paint it in the next few days. Can't wait to have a proper bedroom. eexcite.gif Best of luck with your operation my bedroom. wink.gif

I haven't achieved much at all today. We went out shopping when DH got home and we only just got back a little while ago. I'm too tired now to do anything. I won't be on here much tomorrow as we will be painting our bedroom. eexcite.gif

See you all on Monday! biggrin.gif

Hey. Although I would love a new bedroom suite, I am just settling for a change of bed linen, assesories, stuff like that. Hopefully I will be able to turn it into a bedroom instead of the washing/office/kids junk/storage room. I have a lot of trouble getting a good nights sleep so I thought this would help.

thanks for dropping in guys!
Have a lovely night.

Exactly, it is amazing what a few accessories, linen etc does for the bedroom. I have also got some reed infusers (I think that's what they're called) to make it smell lovely. original.gif Incense is also good for calming. Good luck! Looks like you've made a great dent in your list already. biggrin.gif
