I think 1st one if you want totally calm, but the 2nd for a slight 'edge' to the scheme (which I think with your love of red, is possibly more you?). If they had done the 2nd design in mocha with black lines, I'd have been off there myself!I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0

Hi all
I've had a lovely but busy day so far. Auntie came over with a prezzy and cake:T:T and she brough in rolls and fritter from the bestest chippy too for lunch:D So fly wise I have done very little apart from my dailies and not even all of them but I did sort all Aunties photocopying and mobile phone stuff. Big cousins ears sorted too and when they left I weeded the garden and planted some seeds.

- Clean any pet bedding/poo trays/stinky tanks etc N/A
At the risk of having mules and other objects thrown at me from numerous directions, I have to say, I like it when the oven is on the kitchen list. Having got it all nice and shiny, it's good to give it the once-over quite often to stop it getting grotty again.;) Mind you, I'm not cooking any roast joints or things like that, so maybe that helps.:pIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
