    My first attempt at being a flylady and failed :(. Went out for long lunch with a friend :) and after putting DD to bed decided to make jewellery for craft fair instead of flying! Will catch up tomorrow.

    You didn't fail, you just prioritised ;)

    *Question*
    On a new plastered room should i buy sealent before i paint or should i water down the paint?

    Just water it down a bit - just saves paint as the plaster will 'suck' some in.

    My word, there were some pushy, pretentious people in there! And why do some people need to be three inches from a painting, they surely don't need to sniff it to appreciate it!
    :rotfl::rotfl: - I can't stand pretentious people, I never go to art galleries and that is one of the reasons;)

    love for your Nan and you

    Diva
    lovely to see you posting


    Morning all

    Lovely and sunny here.

    DS3 going to Mum's for a few hours so I'll nip to town/bank and then gardening today.

    I'll just put the towels on the line and do 15 minutes in the kitchen.

    Might get DS1 to help me get the bedroom curtains down for a good shake but I think he is golfing so that might wait until tomorrow.

    ETA:

    Boddy healing vibes for your family

    DS3 has digressed, we are back to Barney videos after about 3 years of none - I think it is being injured and needing everything done for him - I'm out of here into the kitchen.
