    Love your wallpaper sexymouse.:T

    Anyone any suggestions where to get some cheapish wallpaper for our hallway. Just looking for something plain or embossed, may try B and Q in a mo, I'll need loads seeing as Lloyds Tsb B@@@stard insurance refuse to now pay out for our leaking roof disaster or the redecoration of the hallway and landing. :mad:
