You will be. Ceilings are hard work.

It's good that it looks better. Makes it worthwhile.
Definitely ceilings for me. Glossing is easy if you take your time and do it methodically.
Now get thee to bed. You've had a hard day...

It has all crept up on us somewhat hasn't it. Still, somehow it will all come together and we will wonder why we ever though different!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

:rudolf:What was I say about resisting things? I just bought myself a lovely cosy jacket for Christmas, I'm going to spoil myself seeing no one else will
, plus no boyfriend to buy for this year either
- wow, I'm such a money saver!
Did use an o2 offer in M&S and bought pressies in boots using my points so not all bad...
Shopping nearly finished, suppose I better put the tree up:xmastree: if I want peace from my lovely son:xmassign:Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
