    ok then, I will if you will, nice to know I will not be doing it on my own!


    :j
    Ah....Good stuff Jill.
    I think I will make a start tomorrow, as I am off Monday/Tuesday this week.
    I dont think it will take me to long to do it.
    Its only the window frame, back of the door, bath panel, and skirting, to gloss.
    Its the starting part that I find difficult. But once I am going, I really do go for it :D
    I will add it onto my flying list for next week.

    Do you have much to do ??


    My friend was visiting for the weekend, which was lovely, so I haven't had a chance to catch up with the thread :o. So, everything was spic and span for that. So this week, I think I will be doing level 1's all round, and concentrate on my decorating :D

    :jOh... quite looking forward to it now :D

    A small question:o Whats the difference in the star colours ??

    I hope everyone is well
    Thanks, Potty :D

    Well I was having a nap on our bed until DH woke me up shouting at the kids. I've done some more wrapping so that can go up the loft and out of the way. Need to clear the bed now.

    Resting done :D Had to clear away some summer clothes I'd dumped on the bed earlier. Found some more stuff that'll need dry cleaning before it gets packed away :rolleyes:

    My brother called on his way back from windsurfing - so at least someone has enjoyed the weather! More Christmas stuff sorted out.

    Better close the windows, rescue the last load of washing and workout what I need to do to be ready for work tomorrow.

    I knew there was a logical explanation.

    I had a cheeky HHC early. Managed to get a washing on, and the DW too :D
    I might do a HHI later on.... but I will have to muster my self up for that :rotfl:
