Firstly Chris's Range Rover needs a new gear box, or something like that, and it is looking like a £2000 bill!! He is hoping to reclaim some of it under warranty.
Meanwhile a chance remark about our bedroom which is looking very tired and dated has led to a complete new bedroom being planned. I guess this is good as it has meant a major uncluttering with sack after sack going to the Charity shop and just as much going in the bin.
While Chris removed the wardrobes, cupboard etc. I worked on the mountains of photos we seem to have accumulated. While this was a great trip down memory lane I was pretty ruthless.
We have made a couple of trips to Ikea looking at furniture, and visited the Dunelm sale looking at curtains. Now to find a painter and decorator and sort out the new carpet. All great fun a week before we go on holiday!

| This is the third car full of recycling to go to the Charity Shop |
 |
| Holes in the carpet where once a wardrobe and chest on drawers stood. |
 |
| More holes and now the awful green walls long covered by furniture are on show. We are still managing to sleep in this room, but for how much longer I don't know. |
 |
| Chaos in the spare room with all our clothes on temporary rails that we managed to pick up on the local on line market place, two for £10. The little bedroom is so full of "stuff" I did not manage to get a photo. |
A breath of air in the garden and I spotted snowdrops peaking through the fallen leaves.
Spring must surely be around the corner as a primula is also flowering.
I wish you a healthy Happy New Year.
