Heres Fridays list! not sure what I will get done today as I am off to see a potential client today - three and a half hours there and three and a half hours back.. no mse for me today! OH back tonight with DD2 and DD3 so normal service resumed for me last week.
Had a treat (I think) last night. DD1 and boyfriend took me bowling and for a meal (I paid for the meal!) but its rare I get to go out with my big girl now so was a pleasant change.
Have finished painting my 'new' sitting room (it used to be a dining room). Just got the bedrooms to do now.
CAt are you up!
Hope everyone has a good day. Bunny - do they let you know that you have the job today.....!!!!!!!!!!!!{positive vibes}}}}}}}}}}}}

Sammy - finger's crossed the meetign with the new client goes well, though 3 and 1/2 hours each way sounds horrendous! Way to go getting the new sitting room finished. Are you having a decorating break before starting on the bedrooms?
I've got a builder coming out tomorrow to give me a quote to get the 'computer' room (this will become LBs bedroom) fit to use as a bedroom; remomve polystyrene ceiling tiles and fit a new ceiling, take plaster back to brickwork on two outside walls, paint on special membrane, special plasterboard, then skim all walls and ceilings). I might get the witless nephew in to do the painting of it. I fancy a neutral cream colour witha paper border but we'll wait and see.

Its been easy to paint this week cos the little one has been away, she's back tonight so it will have to be a case of as and when really. The bedrooms are quite small. I thought I had gone for a neutral cream but its really quite bright, I needed sunglasses yesterday!
I need a new kitchen but I am trying to do it on the cheap so putting it off. My fave builder emigrated to australia.Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
