Low Key Easter Weekend Recap
Y'all it almost happened. It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install. Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs. Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it. Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate. The final "of course?" We had a TON left. Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily. Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer. This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get. (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...
I'm done! All wrapped up too and that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have gifts for the three friends (outside of family) that I buy for. I need to wrap them, and I need to find a birthday present for one of them (her bday is the 21st). I haven't started family shopping yet, but I won't have a whole lot to buy. I need to get on it, but I will probably wait until early December.
ReplyDeleteThis is the earliest I've had most of mine done. I bought some stuff in the summer, so that's been ready to go. I have a friend who's birthday is two days before Christmas so I have a little extra to buy for her. I'd say I'm about 85% done (I have a few more things to get for the hubs, which I'm ordering this week) and just have to wrap. My goal is to be done before vacation so I can look at the pretty packages and sing with glee that all my wrapping paper is put away. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe just got our names from my husband's side of the family (we draw names). I know I want to get my mother in law a tea set, but holy $$
ReplyDeleteI host afternoon teas and I get all of my stuff from this place: https://www.englishteastore.com/teasets.html I hope they have a set you might like for her at a reasonable price!
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHaven't even started and have no clue what I am buying this year. So not ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBoth my partner and I have started our shopping. He mostly just buys for his son, it is our year to be Santa, and the name he draws from his extended family. I've started my shopping for his son and my mother. I just set my holiday present budget, received my nieces' wish lists, and I'm still waiting on my mum's wish list. Now I'll wait and start looking for sales and for Giving Tuesday (I make a donation in my father & step-mother's name as their present). I probably won't be 100% finished until the week before Christmas. There are always last minute stocking stuffers to pick up.
ReplyDeleteOur family started drawing names and that hasn't been done yet so I haven't bought anything aside from the yarn I'm using to make gifts for my niece and nephew. I'm behind on making doughs too but hoping to work on that this weekend.
