  • Good morning all

    Off to work today but in Lincoln for a change so need to leave at 8.30 instead of my usual 9.30 so will need to keep an eye on the time.

    I probably wont get much done but I am going to try and hang out the washing before it needs to be washed again having sat in the basket wet for 2 days.

    Right off for my shower.

    Have to admit I am too scared to do this :confused:, even though the transfusion service came up here for the first time a few weeks ago :o. If I can have a baby I can give blood!!!! Must be brave next time they come!

    Jo, that is great that Toots pampering is sorted, well done ;).

    Everyone else, I have scanned the posts but forget who needs what (sorry), but as I said in last post, bug hugs to all who need them.

    Morning all

    Natty - hope you're feeling a bit better today
    Rosep - hope you're feeling a bit better today too
    Well done Swinstie on your three stars. I'll update them in a moment

    Grey and wet again this morning. Hope it clears up soon I have had a load of washing in the machine for the last 24 hours or so. I suppose I could drape it over the airer in the kitchen.

    And looks like I get off lightly fly wise today. I gave the living room a good bottoming out yesterday as well as the bathroom because I had guests. The only thing I didn't do was wash the soft furnishings but then they were done in the last two weeks anyway. So I think I'll award myself a tuesday and wednesday star anyway.

    Well done G&B!!! You're making fantastic progress... feel free to come and sort my house out when you've done your flat :D

    BTW - I don't use gloss, I use eggshell or whatever the vinyl version is called. It's matt, and it's also water based so doesn't smell so bad (lower VOC for those who know/care)!

    Thanks Greenbee, once i actually decide i'm doing something i'll get it done sharpish, its just getting round to things i have a problem with:o

    I tried the matt version of gloss (satinwood?) when i did my hall a few years ago and i dont like it. Will be redoing the hall in gloss - maybe next week:confused: Havent decided which room to do next.

    Rosepink - you do sound ill, please go and see your doctor ((Hugs))

    Natty - Hope you are ok, DH needs to be a little more sympathetic i think.

    Hugs to any other ill peeps.

    I'm knackered, couldnt get to sleep last night for some reason:confused: Will go and do some emulsion then nip to asda while it dries and will do the second coat after lunch. Will do the second coat of gloss later on. It says to leave 16-24 hours between coats. Didnt get the quick dry gloss SS, i found a tin of professional gloss in hall cupboard so i'm using that up first. Will get quick dry for the hall though - 6 doors need glossed:eek:
