Cakie, Laundry and other stuff.

So what do you do with the dressing gown your daughter loves but has grown out of before she had hardly any time to wear it, why you make a bunny of course! Just something I decided to do on a whim yesterday. I've been finishing the 'bunny hop swap' swap, but have yet to make a card, that is where I run out of ideas! I am not a very good card maker! I shall endeavour to try my best though. The parcel has to be posted before the 17th of this month. Wish me luck!! I am not the most organised.
I've been walking a lot lately. I have stolen my daughters 'Hello Kitty' mp3 player and I listen to her 'Mika' songs and 'Gwen Stefani' as I walk. It is supposed to pour down this afternoon, I hope it holds off until I have walked to pick L up. I enjoy walking because this time last year my asthma was so bad I didn't think I'd be able to walk any great length at all.So I have kept up the walking. Have I kept up the whole eating less sugar thing? Well I have apart from this weekend where I fell off the wagon and had some chocolate and some fondant fancies. I mean who can resist those! My excuse is that it was 'that month thing' and my craving for sugar outweighs any rational thought. It was either eat sugar or kill someone. Anyway am back to three good meals a day and no snacking.
Good news, the Landlady is helping me sort out my utility room (Utility room is too posh really, it is just an extension of the kitchen which used to be sheds). She has agreed that the old cupboards on the wall can come down and shelves can be put there instead. I am going to paint the walls (Am swayed by 'Dulux' Chinese Jade colour) and have white shelves. I am also getting a new small window put in which will be double glazed and one which I can open to air the utility room when I am doing my laundry. I plan to get some boxes and be organised with my cleaning things and my laundry products. I will have to take before and after pictures so you can see how it turns out.
I have a lot of plans for this house, which unfortunately due to circumstances have been delayed. I am going to attempt to get things moving this summer and try to get my house more like I would like it. I look at all your fabulous homes and hope one day to have a home which I can walk into and say 'Wow I love it here'. Patience, as they say, is a virtue so I must not run away with myself.
I would like to have an organised craft corner as well at the moment part of it looks like this... I really must learn to put shelves up. Books will look so much better on a shelf rather than piled up. If I could put up shelves then I would have places to put things! I am going to learn how to put up shelves without maiming myself (I fell off a toy box last time I put up any shelves) and without losing half the plaster off the wall. I wish I were more DIY minded. Either that or find myself a fella who is good at DIY!
Thanks for your comments on my last post. I am deeply nostalgic person, I find it easier to look backwards than forwards. Chocky by the way was a three series children's programme on itv in 1984, based on a novel by John Wyndham author of 'Day of the triffids! It was about a boy who had an imaginary friend who turned out to be an alien. It is something I vaguely remember and would love to see on dvd. (Must put it on my amazon rental list). Although I did that with 'The children of the stones' and I didn't enjoy it as much as I had remembered.
My wrist feels much better now so I shall be catching up on some blogs later!
