We've got the week off work and so we had a fellow come and prepare various surfaces about the house (inside) for us to then paint the rooms. Good ol' Kev was legendary and gave us about 12 hours of his time helping us out with the painting. Jen ran about edging everything before Steve got busy painting all the walls with the roller brush (and a few of the ceilings too!).

We headed over to Sophie and Paul's for a family Easter get together. Yummy dinner cooked by Soph - thanks! Then back to work on Tuesday.

...and so we got the carpet downstairs replaced as it was quite worn in places.

Clancy came and stayed the night and the next day Steve headed off with him to the fighter practice in Basingstoke. Jen kept on painting walls, mainly in the bathroom.

And so finally we've got the house all tidied up and beautifully presented. A month of hard labour indeed. With a sunny afternoon (the first sunshine after weeks of overcast and drizzling skies) Jen took the opportunity to run about the house taking photos.

The house is looking great and could be a nice little earner if we do rent it out during the Olympics. Jen has had it confirmed today that she will be able to take a redundancy package, and finish work in mid September this year. That's several months away, giving Jen time to get another job and/or see how her new greetings card business goes, etc....
