    Nice colour Quillion
    I did DS's in a similar (if not the same) colour last summer - for the life of me I can't remember what colour but it will have been a Dulux - I like their paint.

    Reminds me of when, with the help of my mum, I did a full house decorate room by room - we'd lived here ages and HE had done bog all (2005 it was)
    About time I did some more decorating...

    I fancied a virus instead of a bacteria just for a change.. :p

    The littlies lists will be after the proper list so easily left off and you can have your star without it being completed.. But Princess Piper and the SW's and a lot of other littlies were all so very helpful last time they got special stars of their own so I thought they might like that again!

    I was almost tempted to ask to borrow some to help out here but then I came to my senses :rotfl:

    Pigpen - I take my hat off to you, I don't know how you are managing to cope with your assignments, looking after your family, your various ailments & then glandular fever on top. I only had gf & for a month all I did was sleep & occasionally woke up for food (great for weight loss). I also developed yellow jaundice which can also go hand in hand with the gf, the downside to that is no alcohol for 6 months). Please take care & try to rest where possible, I know that is an impossibility but you need to look after yourself for the sake of the kids.

    Thanks for that.. not.. I really need jaundice too!!!!! The no alcohol I can do!.. but while the Oriental look is very beautiful, it is not something that will look appealling on me!..

    help yourself!!

    I have had them cleaning 2 of the downstairs rooms today and tomorrow while I have a wakeful hour or 2 they can get another one done!

    I also had the laundry brought down from the bathroom and my 8 year old was given a binbag and told to empty the bins in the bathroom and loo which were full to the brim with her pi$$y nappies and smelled nasty!

    Tomorrows job has to be the back room as I want the carpet up (cos the cat keeps pi$$ing on it) to replace it with lino at some point in the next month.. wonder if it could handle a slop of paint too... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Triker-doodles... look...
