Some good news and some sneaky decorating

Just a quick post to share some good news, as today is going to be full on, I think. But the first thing is daughter and partner are seeing each other again, taking things easy, but hopefully it’ll all work out as they obviously still love each other. But she has made it clear that she is still going forward to getting herself on the property ladder. In the past week she has been filling out forms and emails have been flying to and fro between her, mortgage broker and housing association. (She wants to purchase by doing a shared ownership, own 40% and rent the rest. You can purchase more percent at any time)......and late yesterday afternoon, they confirmed she has been accepted for a new build house she really wanted (It has a lovely big garden) The official offer is in the post, a £500 deposit will need to be put down to secure that particular property (this is then credited against the rent part of her outgoings, once everything is finalised) then it’s up to the solicitors etc., to do their thing. She is so excited! To have her own property will give her security and independence. 

The sneaky decorating? Well, our kitchen needs to be spruced up a bit. We had a new boiler last year which was smaller than the old one, so the walls need seeing too. It’s a very small kitchen, not masses of painted walls and no door, just an archway, so not much glosswork needed. So, while hubby is away, I’m decorating with the same colour on the walls, as I really like the colour. My daughter’s partner is coming over this afternoon to do the ceiling for me, which is a big help as I’m quite short. I haven’t told hubby I’m decorating. I want to see if he notices it’s been done, I bet he doesn’t, haha! 

So I’d better be off to B&Q now to get new paint, roller and brushes. Cheerio for now, Ann x
