It was a slow and lazy start to this Saturday, for some reason it felt like the last week had seen each day have an early start although it hadn't really been any different to usual. But suffice to say I allowed myself a much more sedate approach to the day.
With breakfast out the way our focus was our upstairs bedroom that used to be Molly's room but will be turning into a study come craft room. Whilst we have cleared the room of all the unwanted furniture and had painted the walls it is now time to start the transformation.
On Monday we are having new wood floor laid and so today we needed to clear the room of the items that we have been storing up there, the mattress (soon to be replaced with a sofa bed) and of course the carpet. It didn't take us too long to move everything...well I say we it was mostly Simon as I was finishing off our online grocery shop order ready for collecting tomorrow. We lifted the carpet and the underlay and then Simon prised up all of the gripper rods. This then necessitated a hoover round as there was dust and bits of underlay and splinters of wood all over.
Next it was time to load all the carpet and underlay into the back of the car and take a trip over to our local recycling centre. By about 2.30pm we had done what we had set out to do and the room is now already for wood floor to be laid on Monday.
The afternoon was a relaxed affair. After a spot of lunch I moved a few more jigsaw pieces into place while Simon made progress with his latest piece of digital art. Towards the end of the afternoon I decided that the bananas I'd bought over a week ago were ripe enough to make a low carb banana bread. As this contains no sugar it is best to use very ripe bananas so that the natural sugars from them provide the sweetness.
