    greenbee I would have thought the silver covering should have been on the inside - i.e. not showing???????????
    at least thats what you do with the foil covered plasterboard.

    This has foil on both sides... I'm not quite sure why he didn't use the foam & foil backed plasterboard which I suggested. Maybe he didn't think it would stay up. Mind you, I hope this is tougher than it looks, as the lights need to be fixed into it! It's made a huge difference to the temperature though, more than the walls, which isn't surprising.

    Your list is a bit long. Have you thought about how you're going to achieve it/what you're going to skip?

    as to Miss A she sleep walked for the first time a few nights ago. I have googled it and think it is perhaps that she is extra tired with all the activities she/she have had on. Will not worry for now, found this which gives several suggestions.

    Hopefully she'll be fine. I used to sleepwalk. As a child, I would do what I was told when sleepwalking (never did any other time :p ). I also had a bit of a problem when I was in my late teens/early 20s (I once climbed out of a ground floor window and back in through the door!). It worried me a bit when I went to uni - I thought i might end up in the river, which was right outside our front door. When I was older, it was definitely stress that caused it, but I don't think I sleepwalk anymore. I've also had sleep paralysis ... VERY frightening the first time if you don't know what it is!

    foil ceiling... hmm.. thats different!!! i hope he has a plan!!!!!!:rolleyes:

    yes I know the list is long - I was doing quite well and its all gone a bit pear shaped - next year will be different - remind me will you!!! I have a 'sort of' plan as to how it will all happen and it is my intention to be finished by Sunday!!!! I will probably skip the horrible things like utilities and finances ( I know I shouldnt!!!) and manage most of the rest - the ironing will get done by hogmanay - I wont be out much after christmas so will do that then - and just 'wing-it' with the rest!!!
    Do you think thats a good plan!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    zaza Nice to see you again and arent you well organised!!! Well done. can I send you some mince pies?

    If only:drool:!!! what a lovely thought though, it's true what they say about you :A.
    Not having too many responsibilities helps with the organization I find... I'm in awe of everyone on this thread - you all have such busy lives/jobs/families and achieve soooo much, even though you don't always realise it. :T to all the flypeople I say.
