Andy is away this weekend, so its like a sneak preview of what life will be like in a few weeks time when he's actually gone for good!
Can't believe its actually happening to be honest - 3 weeks today and he'll be leaving!
We have taken the opportunity, while he is not here, to measure his room so we can work out how the furniture will fit! Jamie's out getting his hair cut at the moment (although i'd have expected him to be home again by now - he's been gone a while) so I've been using the time undisturbed to draw up scale floor plans and cut out little paper shapes to represent all our furniture. yes, I know, I'm weird. I'm having fun, so you can't poke fun at me.
I have worked out everything fits with lots of room to spare. I've chosen a sideboard/display unit thing and a dining table set from my catalogue which will a) fit in the room, b) match and c) are actually nice and I like them.
I've even done a quick check for sleeping space for guests - there is space in the front bedroom for a double air mattress, and i can fit a camp bed in the living room (just!) and one in the dining room, which means when we are able to I can have 4 people staying and have space to feed them as its a 6 seater dining table :-)
Although, the camp beds are a bit of a squeeze, so what I'm most likely to do when I have more than one pair of guests is let one set sleep in our bedroom on a proper bed, and we'll sleep in the camp beds downstairs.
So all we need now is for the landlord to agree to get rid of the furniture from Andy's room, as I haven't left space for any of it!
I hope Jamie approves of my choice of dining table/chairs!
I'm looking forward to rearranging everything now, will be a perfect opportunity to tidy every room up and start from scratch - it will be like moving into a brand new house! and I'm soooo looking forward to being able to have people come visit - looking in particular at Mr & Mrs Hewitt, and Eddie and Rachael :-D
Also, with the table I'm looking at, it should be big enough to fit two bloodbowl boards on it, so we could even alternate venues for BB tournaments if we only have 4 players (which would be nice for Caro I should think, if we want to have a tournament on a weekend when she is home and would like to be able to do stuff in her house!).
So Its all good, and I'm feeling all kinds of positive about it.
Edit: YAY I showed Jamie what I'd done and he approved of all my plans - he likes the furniture I've chosen and everything!
