Second hand Sept. 2021

So September is here. If you in UK you know the smallish heatwave also is here… no cozy jumper weather yet. But second hand September is here the challenge set by oxfam, think second year running.  And I am in again. Originally I was going to post daily pictures and do like weekly reports but life gets in way and house still is the building site… but I have few photos so far.  I picked up this dress few years ago but it’s like a massive moo moo style thing but cinched in at the waist with a belt (much loved and much worn, not second hand but over 5 years old) and I think I look nice!

Little life-house update.  The dump proofing is done. Newly plastered walls are so smooth! It definitely pays to have a big company doing work as they even varnished our new window sill. It’s need to be painted but at least I can put my plants on it without worrying about them damaging new timber.  I also went a bit “extra” with plants as our new net curtains are more transparent than before.

And at the moment we have kitchen well in every room downstairs  And maybe after we will have more of the order… we still can’t do anything to the walls. Need to perp paint and then paint and then we want some built in shelves and storage units. Wonder if we will be done by Christmas … these things take time especially with little ones.  And now it’s getting dark earlier I feel the need to burn candles and snuggle. Maybe week after next I can do that.
