    Hi :)
    Another positive day - was a little late in getting up - both kids slept in too - bliss! :)

    Not done a whole lot, but went to b&q to get some samples and also some bits of wallpaper to match to my new ideas for sitting room and bedroom - if they match I'll go back and get more - free of course and just for some frames to hang on the wall - cheap moi?! ;)

    Going to do exciting things like clean the grout in the bathroom and do the washing tomorrow (oooh the glamour!) so will pop on here and record my ramblings :) Tempted to pay a little more off my bcard, so might dig around and see what I can ebay for minimum hassle!

    Hope all are well

    Fabric samples are also good in a frame - especially if you get some of the really expensive fabric - you only need a couple of square inches and most places will happily give you that amount as an offcut.
