PREPARATIONS RUMBLE ON! PART 2

N's got his passport back, with Visa included.

My fab Travel Agent has confirmed the seating bookings for the long flight home - the sky cot was already saved in 1 location, so we have to go 'upstairs', that'll be a first for me. There are only 20 or so seats up there, the other passengers are going to b*mmed when they realise that they have a 13+ hour flight with an 8 month old. I'm ready to be the most unpopular passenger on the plane - as a lone passenger wouldn't have wanted to sit anywhere near me with Whatshername!

At home the decorators have started. They're doing the nursery, the hall (it's huge and hasn't been done for many years) and part of the outside (that'll be the end of the work from replacing the windows). Each set of paint is causing problems!! The nursery problems are the simplest - indecision! The hall - matching the old colour (without a colour card) and getting hold of the manufacturer to order the bl*ssed stuff. Outside is causing the most hassle - I want yellow, but it's hard to find in exterior paint as (apparently) the yellow pigments tend to fade, I choose a colour only to find that it wasn't an option for exteriors (but it was the decorator who bought it for me!!)

So the nursery wall is dotted with 1 yellow patch and many pink ones - they're also painted on pieces of paper so that I can take the 'winner' with me when I go to choose the carpet this morning. That means I have to make a decision in the next 48 minutes!! Ugh, I'm being to hate making decisions.
