Since my last update I've been continuing with sorting out my bedroom and after doing a bit everyday for over 2 weeks the end is now in sight! I just need to declutter and tidy under my bed and then it's done :) Yesterday evening my dad helped me to rearrange my furniture - my wardrobe has been moved and my new storage units for DVDs and CDs have been screwed to the wall. I've also emptied a cupboard, but that has had to stay in my room for the time being until we work out what we're going to do with it.
Through decluttering my room and being able to get rid of my cupboard, it now looks a lot more spacious. I've known for a while that I want to fill the space up with a small-ish 2 seater sofa so I don't have to sit on my bed to watch TV, read, play on my Wii etc. And also so I can have friends up in my room and there'll be somewhere for them to sit. Earlier in the week I looked on the Internet at some sofas, but I want to try them out for comfort before I buy them, so today me and mum went into town on a sofa hunt. Before we went I found a local sofa warehouse on the Internet, which sells catalogue returns furniture at really good prices, so we went along to have a look. They had loads of sofas, but the majority were leather, which I don't find comfortable. There were a few fabric sofas though, but one was green which would have clashed in my lilac and blue bedroom! Then I found the perfect sofa :D It was a 2 seater, light beige coloured (so would fit in my room), exactly the right size and very comfortable. And it was very reasonably priced at just £200. So I bought it :) It will be delivered on Saturday. I took a photo on my phone, but can't get it onto my laptop at the moment. If I work out how to later then I'll post it up.
Tomorrow Sarah was going to come to do my Gifts of Life photoshoot, but we are going to reschedule for another date as her son Wills (who has had a small bowel transplant like me) has his first ever school assembly tomorrow. But I'm happy with that as my room is not finished yet, but now by the time Sarah comes it should be finished so I can have photos taken in there :)
My energy levels are continuing to be good :) As well as doing lots of tidying of my room since my last blog I've also been sofa hunting, been shopping in town, visited my nan... However my appetite has been decreasing and I'm struggling to eat full meals at the moment because I often feel full even a long time after I last ate. So I have to keep an eye on that, and on my weight too, to see how it goes.

Your room sounds great Molly - I'm gonna have to give my a major clear out once I've broken up from school! I've just passed my driving theory test (yay!) and don't really feel like it at the minute, but once I ger some free time I'm gonna do it! I would love to get a sofa...I'm gonna have to work out if I can get one that'd fit! =]

Thanks Becky :) I hope to post some photos up when it's finished, maybe Sunday or early next week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing your theory test! :D
Good luck on clearing out your room when you decide to do it. I really didn't think I'd be able to fit a sofa in my room at first, but once all the clutter started to disappear and I realised I could get rid of a cupboard, a bit of furniture shuffling revealed that a sofa would fit :)
