    Better you than me Hypno-I bloomin' HATE decorating!

    Sounds nice though. Biscuit walls with a nice neutral carpet and black and white photos sounds lovely, I think splashes of red would look nice with that. (Feel free to ignore me, lol)

    I am happy because for the first time in over 3 years I have a dishwasher again!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!

    Congrats on the dishwasher Bunny.

    Biscuit colours sound good - then you can pick up colours if you feel the need for a splas or two with accessories. Makes perfect sense spending your time doing proper 'work' rather than time doing dooyoo. I seem to spend ages doing surveys etc. and they do mount up but if you worked out an hourly rate I'd dread to think what it would be. I've become very disheartened getting screened out of lightspeed and toluna. Makes sense haveing a 'work room' too then you can come out and switch off again - you must do this or your sleep will be even worse than it is now!!

    I have been catching up on this thread for days now - serves me right for missing a few days - but have finally caught up - must spend less time tending my farm and more time keeping up with the world of MSE LOL - how sad does that sound but both amuse me and are free :)

    Congrats on the dishwasher bunny - I hope you have a fabby holiday!

    milann - sorry you have spent so much time catching up! That is time of your life you will never get back you know!

    I am done in for today - got to the last wall, but started to get slapdash as am tired, so decided to wash the brush and call it a day. I have to say, it is looking good.....and I am v pleased I have got this far. There are parts that will need a re-coat tomorrow, but other bits that will be fine. I will assess the whole thing in proper daylight tomorrow, but I am happy so far!

    I am quite pleased, beanie - but it is a big job considering it is such a small room! Goodness knows how long it will take me to do some of the bigger rooms......:o

    Also, much more decluttering needed!!

    Well done on achieving so much and we're only half way through the weekend! :T

    You will be delighted when you go in first thing in the morning. I love that sense of satisfaction you get when looking at a newly painted room. Good for you, it will be lovely :)

    I think I will go in there in the morning and wish I had carried on and finished the last wall today :rotfl:
