    Today I've mainly been looking at wallpaper saying "how much" and getting bored... I must focus - need to get this place sorted before Christmas!

    Just going to snuggle up with DS and watch a film.

    Good quality wallpaper is an investment, provided you're going to stay. Otherwise, cheap neutral stuff as it will be coming down with a new buyer anyway.

    How have you been today apart from bored?

    Not a bad day, footie with DS, him and hid pal made me laugh, then shopping with DS who just thinks I should buy something quick!

    Dvd this evening was fun, he's a lovely child at times. I have already been informed he has his own plans for tomorrow though! Just watching Girl Who Played With Fire now he's off to bed :)

    Something quick like what?

    Let me guess: He sat through a chick-flick without too much complaining? ;)

    Yep, you've had your quota... :p

    Anything! He just thinks I should choose the first carpet/wallpaper I see and get it over with. He may have a point...

    No, it was a comedy that he chose. He was just good company yesterday, very amusing:D

    I'm afraid so, on with housework for me I think. Maybe a quick run first.

    Buy some magic-eye carpet. Two patterns in one...

    You can't run from housework. That housework is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.
