The Build: Week 3

This week has mainly involved building brick walls....not much to say about that really other than they grow.

Much more exciting is our new table.We still have an oven - no hob mind-  but it does mean we are able to cook our evening meals. The problem comes when we need to actually eat said meal. We have no table. We are fine if the sun shines as we have a table in the garden but if it's cool or raining that is not an option. My husband cooked last Saturday and I was led into the children's bedroom to find an ironing board set for four between the children's beds. Two sat on one bed on one side and two on the bed on the other. It's perfect. I knew there was a reason we never tried for three children!  You can adjust it to the height you need and it is a perfect shape to fit between two beds. Next time I think we will splash out and bedeck it with a table cloth (if we can find one).

It's the most use the board has had in ages. I'm not one for pressing clothes. Long live the humble ironing board.
