Yes, you saw right! We have carpet now - in the hall and on the stair and landing, and in Caleb's room, at least. The carpet there had to be laid by the profeesionals (It was paid for by our support team, rather than ourselves, and that was the only condition) but we are laying the rest ourselves, or rather Steve is, when I am away at the end of the month. That carpet and underlay along with the door thingies (the silver bars) is being delivered on Saturday afternoon, so we have it ready.
It's been somewhat of a DIY Week in our house this week - and a busy one at that. Obviously, we had the carpet today, but we've been putting shelves up too. At first we couldn't because we didn't have a drill, then we didn't have the right drill bit once we bought a drill. Then we got the right drill bit but the drill itself doesn't have the power to drill into brick. So we ended up borrowing Steve's Dad's drill anyway! So the shelves will get put up this weekend, and then the hoover will get its first airing in this house. I know that sounds really bad, because we have lived here over a year, but up until now we have only had bare floorboards or rugs, and even where the rugs were, there hasn't been much space to fit a hoover through, because we hadn't ventured into the attic to store excess stuff! We done that now, and there is noticably more space - especially in Caleb's room. We're going to put his stairgate up this weekend (It's going across his bedroom door - so now he won't always have to be in the front room where he gets bored because he is confined to a smaller space (until we get carpet) - and then he can roam around in his room to his hearts content, and we can leave his door open so we can hear him, rather than having his monitor on all the time!
Enough from me for now, speak soon! x
