#14 HERE’S TO BEING AN ADULT | SWAPPING HEELS FOR CONVERSE

Good news people

I’m finally an adult. This month I’ve done the most adult thing I’ve ever done. I’ve never been more adulty.

Drum roll please… I’M BUYING A PROPERTY 

And when I say ‘I’ I mean ‘we’. Me and Maxwell are making the first move onto that property ladder.

Here’s to things to come and all the trips to Ikea (PARTY EMOJI’S ALL ROUND)

So the thing about the place we’ve bought is, it’s in need of a bit of TLC. In fact, the bungalow we’ve bought is on the verge on a  breakdown and needs a complete overhaul. But that’s okay, because I know a man that’s pretty good with a hammer. And that man is my Father.

If you didn’t know, I did write a small blog before this one about the building of my family home last year. You can check it out here. So yeah basically, everything is gonna be way cool because I got this whole building work thing COVERED.

So we haven’t even completed yet but I’ve already been busy buying house magazines and choosing paint colours and looking at endless amounts of grey sofas and beaten up tables for the kitchen. Y’know me, like to be prepared.

I will inevitably transform into an interior designer over the next few months, scattering cushions wherever I go, talking about feature walls and breakfast bars like it’s common place in conversation.

Homebase and B&Q will become my new hang outs. I’ll spend my Saturdays browsing door handles and sinks, whilst planning out the landscape of our enormous garden. Heck, Topshop will miss me. They might even put out a missing persons ad.

So with the next 4 months of my life dedicated to building work of the bungalow variety, I guess I’ll be swapping the heels for converse and cracking on with the knocking down of walls and taking chimneys out. Luckily, I got these converse as a little gift last month from Max’s little sister.

SCORE

She gets showered with endless amounts of free trainers as part of a dancing job. Um, deff in the wrong career path right? So not fair.

So yeah, thanks Lil. I love them. Well I will love them once I get ’em a little bit dirty. Converse should never be that pearly white, FACT.

I’ll be sure to show some before and after photos once I’m through with all the building work. These babies won’t know whats hit ’em.

So I’m finally beginning to accept that yes, at the grand old age of 23 (nearly 24 may I add) I am officially an adult. Debbie in the office has been trying to tell me this for at least a year. Well you can lay off the convincing now, I hear you Debs.

Jumping in at the deep end. Doing things proper, like.
