Boiler Madness

So, we have a new twist in the WM Kitchen.

A new boiler.

There are many positives. We can now actually do the kitchen! We have more storage space. Our heating is more efficient and we should avoid our home getting so cold it takes an age to warm up. And we have amazing water pressure in our bathroom, so lovely powerful warm showers here we come!

Obviously it's not cheap to have a new boiler, so that's on the down side. And the house smells of dust. In every room.

But worst of all, my kitchen cupboard is in my actual kitchen and there's a clean up op to do tomorrow.

But it is progress!

And apparently we can now have our bathroom done. So it could be WM bathroom before the kitchen at this rate. Let's see what happens ...

By the way, this has also led to random items appearing in my lounge. One of which is inflatable!

See further pics below. (Along with the reason behind why we have said inflatable in the first place - let's just say it's not just Baby A who likes playing dress up!)

Where the cupboard used to be.
Where it is now!
All the stuff from said cupboard is pretty much covering all the kitchen - I didn't know it was going there!!
An inflatable crocodile.  In my lounge.  Obviously.
Aha.  Now it all makes so much sense.

Wondermum Makes - Tegenarium - Spider House!

My Mum isn't a lover of spiders and unfortunately she passed this fear unwittingly onto Roar when he was small. She didn't want him to stay afraid and so one Christmas, she bought him a Spider House Kit.  Between us we hoped he would learn about them and watch one and see they spend a lot of their time motionless and aren't really that scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it when a spider scuttles too close, but it's usually the shock of something scuttling into view that's more 'scary' than the spider itself.  Well, that's what I tell myself anyway!  We have no poisonous spiders to worry about so there really isn't anything to fear (although I know that isn't the same everywhere). We've had this Spider House Kit tucked away in a box for at least a couple of years as Roar was initially not keen.  However, in Lockdown all  the 'kits' are coming out and so has this one and, what's more, he's LOVED IT! He has l...

Wondermum Makes - No-Spider Tegenarium / Spiderless Spider House!

Further to my recent post, I realise not everyone loves spiders and not everyone knows where to find them or is sure if their spiders are safe.  And, as we also have a toddler in our house, we needed a 'Cub Safe' version to ensure no real spiders are harmed by an excited toddler shaking their spider-house! So we decided to make a pretend spider so Cub could also be included :) To make the actual spider house, see my other post - this is just to make the fake spiders! Things You Will Need Our list included single and double-sided tape, curling ribbon, scissors, paper, black pen and optional googly-eyes :) But if you don't have all of the above, you could use glue instead of tape or double-back on itself some single sided tape to make it double-side.  Curling ribbon could be string/cotton/wool etc. Your spider can be any colour so any colour paper will do or colour some in.  You could even use newspaper!  And if you don't have googly-eyes, you can m...

Wondermum Makes - NHS Superhero Angels

Thursday night we 'clapped for carers' and made as much noise as possible in the Thursday night tradition (the UK's way of saying thanks to all the care workers for all they are doing to keep everyone safe throughout this Corona-virus). This inspired our craft idea for today and we made some NHS Superheroes but instead of the traditional hero capes, we decided they were also Angels and so their capes are Angel inspired 'wing-capes' instead :) Things You Will Need We had: various coloured paper, stapler (with staples loaded), cardboard tube, single and double-sided tape, scissors, crayons (for faces), felt tips (for eye colours), black pencil (for mouth), sandwich bag (for mask).  We also show pegs and Gorilla glue (super glue) but these are an alternative option as we only needed to use the stapler and tape.  If you do use glue, the pegs are to hold it together while drying as we have used this method previously. The other items we didn...
