    Morning all,
    Bit of a long lie this morning (late night last night), and DS slept too ;).
    Anyway, I am getting started slowly on the master bedroom (and think I will do DS's room today too as it's easier to do both lived in bedrooms together). Sheets are in WM now and need to get started on the rest of the stuff.......anyone up for an HHC at 10 am ?

    Greenbee - hope you get the cake sorted.
    Msgnomey - hope all goes well today
    Boddy - sending you soothing vibes - sounds like you have a lot on your mind at the moment

    Morning everyone. Slept in unexpectedly. Probably because I stayed up late last night. Will get bathed and dressed shortly.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Good morning all

    After all the painting last night and saga's which went with......I dont think I like it. :(

    I bought the paint and used it on a small wall in the hallway and it dried nice and light, (its brown, but a pale light brown - its called biscuit) but in the living room it looks much darker......but it still looks patchy etc, so Im going to do the second coat anyway, and when Ive put the curtains etc back up and can see what it looks like for real, then I will make a decision as to whether it can stay or whether I will be painting over it again.

    Its only one wall thats going to be this colour - the other walls are cream.

    But I am so tired.......... I didnt want to get up - I dont want to be at work and I certainly dont want to do this boring report........ However, needs must!! Roll on 2.30!!!!

    Im glad you guys are doing so well - It gives me the motivation to keep going!! Well done on all your stars and hearts - especially Carlsberggal, who thought youd never get one!! And Well done AnWs mum on the RoD!!!!

    Toots - I hope your taking it easy!

    Piggers - If theres open invites to this party - can we come too please - im in real need of jelly and ice cream! :D

    Boddy - I dont know if youve mentioned it on the thread before and I have missed it, if so Im so sorry. But what do you mean her husband is missing?? Is it suspicious, did he take his things, or did he go for milk and just not come back.......either way, what an awful thing for her to be going through. I hope you are ok, and hope he turns up safe and well soon.

    Where is Crafty??? Have I just been missing her posting? Hope shes ok.

    Best get on, will catch up later!

    Ooooooh - nearly forgot - Msgnomey - got everything crossed for you!

    Love hugs and vibes to anyone ive missed xxx
