It's here....

After a little mix up when ordering, the girls playhouse is here!!!!
It turned up on the back of a truck in many pieces I don't know why but I expected a box or two, it was raining the day it arrived so some of the wood became bowed :( but was nothing we could work around. When it was being off loaded from the truck the guy bought over a slide which totally threw me as the playhouse I ordered didn't have a slide and it also wasn't listed as a cherry playhouse either but it is in fact the right one :) I checked the suppliers website and you can order it with a slide so I guess it was a great bonus.
One HUGE annoying thing about the packaging of the playhouse is you get stuff all packed up like the roof slats and the ladder slats now you would think that would be it? but oh no you get random bits for the underneath in with them :/ we thought that part was missing until we put the roof slats up and there it was but because the picture on the instructions was the complete playhouse and clearly the roofing you never would have guessed the flooring part was in there and of course doing it in order that package wasn't opened until last but hey ho the house is together,painted and had a home made railing put on it by my wonderful partner :) here's a picture of how it looks, I'm yet to add some finishing touches but you get the idea :)

Let the saving begin...

I received an email with this beautiful playhouse among other summer stuff in and needless to say I fell in love with it! I played around with my partner and said I was getting it expecting him to laugh & say no or something but he was like okay I'll help you save :) So we are now saving for this beauty! we had to sell the girls trampoline as our garden is pretty small so it was one or the other and they was well up for having a playhouse so saving has begun and with it only being £17O there's not a major amount to save up and we'd be silly not to buy it. Super excited to be able to order it! I've already planned whats going in it, what pattern I'd like on the curtains and what colour we are painting it. EXCITED!!!

Wonderful Dads!

In case you didn't manage to see on facebook,twitter,all over the shops etc today's fathers day!
There shouldn't be just a single day to let our dads know how special they are but today gives them a day to relax and be spoilt!! I know everyone says their dads are the worlds best dads so i'm not going to be any different because he really is a wonderful man, Although me and my dad might not have that really close bond to be seen by everyone that we used to have it will always be there. We went to visit him today and he was out in the garden doing some gardening while i was having a natter with my mum then we went to peek at where the girls had wandered off to after hearing 'we are going to find gangan' We found them watching my dad doing bits in the garden and the girls were holding hands keeping each other safe as the pond was near by :') was the cutest thing ever! personal reasons ripped away the closeness me and my girls were entitled to have with my dad for the world to see :( i won't be discussing what that reason was as it's really personal. While having a wander around the garden where i grew up as a little girl the memories were flooding back from how i once had a HUGE trampoline that took up way to much of the garden,how I'd sit in my mums summer house, how I'd wander into my dads GIGANTIC shed to find him painting his figures and a whole lot more, The gigantic shed and the summer house look so small now I'm all grown up but the memories are still spilling out of them :) I may not visit or talk to my dad everyday but i love him dearly and will always fight his corner to the death no one says a bad word about my dad other than my mum not that she does tho, I really should start visiting every day. I'm a lucky girl to have such a wonderful dad thats supported me through everything although he isn't a fan of my alternative look he's never told me to change/stop and is always printing off my modeling pictures to show his friends and having one as his phone screen saver if it's not the girls :') I love my dad!!! ❤

As I've mentioned in previous posts Andy isn't Issy's biological dad, He's bought her up since she was 1 and a half when her dad decided it would be best he stopped seeing her, he has been there since then doing all he can for her, She can be a right little madam but he's still here taking the tantrums that can turn violent,the attitude,her bad days,sitting with her until stupid o'clock because she's ill,bought her first school uniform,making sure shes well fed & clothed, he's funded all of her birthdays since her 2nd birthday and i tend to go over board with birthday doo's but he's not once complained but done all that he can to fund her special day even down to selling his phone and parts of his beloved bike (which always came first no matter what before he became a family man) We are all such lucky girls to have this amazing man in our lives and be able to call him dad & fiance! There is no way i could ever repay him for what he has done for us girls, he' helped me raise two beautiful little girls the best we can there's been many times were I've turned into psycho woman and Issy has been a total nightmare to deal with, i wouldn't have blamed him for walking away but he never has but has always been there with a cuddle and kiss for us both :)
