going with the red

 Evening


I slept really quite well to say I would be starting back at school in the morning

I got up earlier for school as my dad told me the electrician was coming over so I needed to prep areas also i didnt trust that my dad wouldnt come and take off more tiles from the bathroom with the power chisel which creates no end of dust. So yeah i had a lot to do and I had the gammon to put on as well. But we got out on time and dropped Oz off for rabbit daycare.


Jack drove to school but his driving was really bad to be honest. He just wasnt on form this morning so i was quite on edge. But somehow we got to school in one piece!

There wasnt as many people in school today as it was an insec day and optional if you could work from home but jack was keen to go into work for whatever reason. The people who had turned up turned up for no other reason than the social aspect of work!


if i am honest I did literally nothing today

i finished a picture and started a title put apart from that i didnt do anything

i kept feeling unwell, my heart was going out of rhythm and i felt dizzy and lightheaded and shivering as it was so damn cold in school. Jack and Julia looked after me tho. despite me moaning how damn unfair it all was. but they said i had done well to even come back today. which is true, i probably was being to hard on myself.

mum txted me saying they were off to B&Q tonight to look at tiles, did i want to come? but i said to her "thought you were going tomorrow? also B&Q's tiles looked boring to me" she said "matt thinks your red/purple tile might be too dark but says if you want to go with it then thats fine" so I told jack and he got the tile page up and we both still liked it but noticed they did a few colour variants

green - looked like victorian toilets

blue - too dark and out of stock

yellow - hideous 

white - looked dirty 

so we liked the red, its actually called violet 

we looked at the website and it said as we're in tier 4 that we cant go instore for a tile but can have a sample sent home. we didnt have the luxury of time to have a tile sent to us so jack rang up asking if we could pick up a tile on our way home today and the store said we could!

so we ordered a  red and a white, purely to see the colours really

but today was the only day we would be able to take a tile home and see it in daylight hours as every other day we get home after dark. And things look  so different in different lights. So we left a bit earlier as we wanted these tiles. So we popped off to there. Just seeing them in real life was different to seeing them on the screen as well. We got home and held them to the walls and turned lights on and off, blinds down and all that and we just love the red. We want to go through with it. I want this house to have colour and personality.  I am daring enough to try these things unlike my parents. 

Then we popped over to mum's for a brew and for Oz, i could tell that she did not like our choice of tile XD but its not her taste so i understood. I probably wont like her bland boring taste. I dont want our house looking like a middle age couple lives here already!

Oz had had a great day at bunny day care, been very busy mum says and seen the girls. so he is happy bunny.

we got home and i did 30 mins of yoga and felt better for it and then i made dinner for me and jack which was good. Then i let jack continue hacking at the tiles with the electric chisel. Dad came over and lend a hand whilst I looked for furniture online as I never got that tv cabinet due to the guy not being able to find it in his storage --______-- so i was disappointed to say the least

now I am gonna relax with Ozwald whilst Jack has a shower.

tomorrow, well who knows about tomorrow! as I was suppose to anxiously be at school but Boris Johnson has just announced schools are off :/ so yeah what am I doing!?
