Last night Dan painted the dining room wall black.
No, he wasn't taken over by a the need to goth out our home, but more a need to get a bit organised.
I finally have a blackboard.
We've had this tin of blackboard paint in the shed for about 5 years. Yes, 5 years!
I 'd actually forgotten about it..... really I had!
Anyway, last night Dan painted the wall. As soon as it was dry I put a weekly chart up of things we are doing , jobs to remember, messages etc.
I have been walking around with this information in my head for years... why? Get it out and on the board. I feel so much lighter.
Now everyone (Dan) can see that £2 snack money needs to be paid to Charlie's teacher and the guilt of not doing it isn't on just me.
This morning the boys enjoyed rubbing out what I had chalked up and used it for their own entertainment. Cars and lions.
Oh well... I tried.
