I think (she says...) I won't mind so much when we move on to *decorating*... but at the minute Mr Cheery is sorting the entire contents of the cellar and workshop into small plastic labelled tubs - so the entire kitchen and living room are full of boxes EVERYWHERE and we can't get at the fridge/washing machine/front door/stairs without clambering over stuff :eek:
Once the sorting is done, what's left can go back in the cellar, and the workshop (which is really just a spare bedroom with no bed in) will be empty - meaning that when we decorate one room, everything from that room can go in there...
That's the plan anyway :rotfl: and we all know what happens to those :rotfl: :rotfl:
We've been searching for houses in our price range over quite a wide area, but yesterday out of interest I did a search for our current area without a price limit on it :eek: There's an utterly GORGEOUS house in the next street - a snip at £650,000 :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: Basically, as suspected, we could stay round here if we bought another terrace - but since we already HAVE a terrace there isn't much point doing that! :rotfl:
Ah well, very occasionally something tucked away and ramshackle turns up so who knows?
Parkrun for me this morning :j Tis is my 40th, and after 50 I get a free Parkrun t shirt :j :j Not as impressive as it sounds - my first was in June 2011 so it's taken me 4 years to clock up that many :rotfl:
Sun's shining so I should probably get outside but I suspect it's going to be one of those days when I don't quite know what to do first! :rotfl: Having a shower first would probably help, - I'm getting a bit cold in my running kit now... So.

The housing thing sounds interesting! And so does the idea of leaving a room completely empty so you can do one room at a timeSort out grouting with heat gun2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
I have no idea actually KC - I never got round to that bit of the list... :rotfl:
My grouting is still covered in dark green paint - the man in Wickes said the paint wouldn't cover that so I slapped on some extra grouting. Which worked, in terms of making it white :j But I was pretty slapdash and it doesn't look at all straight or pretty So I thought I'd try the heat gun and see if it softened it for long enough to let me run a stick over it to smooth it out...
I'd stick to the paint if I were you - much easier! :rotfl:0 -
:hello: hello.. May I join in? *subscribed* I'm trying to do more running these days, did the blacklight run at Cheltenham last week which was loads of fun. I do need some new trainers soon tho...

Ooh, please join in StepUp (may I call you StepUp?) How lovely to have you around I've not heard of the blacklight run - was it in the dark? Sounds like great fun! :j :j
Nice and warm today (although I confess I'm rather TOO warm in my fluffy dressing gown...). Working at home - and I've remembered I never did get round to finishing my attic sorting over the weekend so my workspace is in complete disarray
Ah well, I shall have to put blinkers on..
Just done a bit of urgent ish stuff for my course (sending something off to go in a newsletter) and now off for a shower and dress into something other than layers of woolliness and then I'd really best start work!0 -
See what you mean, Cheery I've tidied someone *else's* grout in the past - it had been put on a bit slapdash, as you say about 2 months previously, and I was at a bit of a loose end staying at their place, so I begged for a job, and got a little chisel/knife thing and tidied up the grout. Mind you, if the tiles had been painted, the paint would've come off as well :eek: :rotfl:
Good luck!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
