Hypno's "me, me, me, me, me," diary.....

I'll head to B&Q and just have a mooch down the paint aisles to see what catches my fancy....mind you, I can't remember what brand or colour-name I last used as I don't know where the remaining tins are in the garage.....so even if I tried to get the same again, it would probably be different!

I also need to do the woodwork - so lots of white gloss and sandpaper required. I've got ceiling paint, so that's ok, but I could do with a new brush or two.....hmm.....think my full £60 house improvement savings is about to be spent!!

i've got a mini hand held sander. want to borrow? makes the job sooo much quicker and less of an arm ache!

Ooh, yes please - I have so much woodwork in this house that I will be mightily sick of sandpaper blocks by the time I am done

I always enjoy a mooch in B&Q Hypno- then i go and price up elsewhere as well....then generally do nothing.lol

Right - I have a result - I found the paint store in the garage and have:

• a big tub of pollyfilla
• 6 various size brand new (!) paintbrushes
• a full tub of cream kitchens & bathrooms paint
• a full tub of white kitchens & bathrooms paint
• a full tin and a part tin of the paint I used in the dining room
• enough left over paint to patch up the spare room in the same colour as it is already painted
• half a tin of white gloss paint

So.....my £60 is going to remain pretty much intact - I just have to get some paint for DD's room today

Well done on finding the paint store Hypno, and on not having to spend too much.

Hypno, do you use sugarsoap, it really does work when doing paintwork prep.
