1st Haircut

Monday morning bright and early we took Sophie into Farnham for her first haircut at a place called Spikes and Curls. It is a specialised shop that only does children's hair so I thought that they would be better equipped to deal with a squirming baby than most places! They were really lovely there even though there isn't that much of a diference...

Bamboo Floors

With two persian cats and a baby our carpet was getting very smelly and stained so Stephen's little project over this holiday was to rip it up and to install hardwood floors.

We chose bamboo as it is a renewable resource, hard wearing and around the same price as a good quality laminate (and much nicer than laminate too!). We priced it out in lots of stores and then ended up going for an internet company. They were really good as they let us choose our (free) delivery date and provided all we needed to do the floor for around 75% of what it would have been in B&Q!

This is the carpet all ripped up and the underlay going down...




Unfortunately we had layed almost all the underlay down before reading 'This Side Up' on the side we had put down! So it all came up and was layed the right way before Stephen, David and Vanessa could start laying down the wood!



And the finished product...



A huge thank you goes out to Stephen's brother and sister-in-law who gave up 2 days of their holiday to help!

April snow brings...?

The first Sunday of the school holidays lots of snow (for England) fell and stayed on the ground. Sophie wasn't quite sure about it!
