    Soappie i have the same in the utility room, with flakey paint. I started scrapping and now have one wall bare. When our livingroom was done by a proper painter, our wall bubbled so he scrapped it back and sandpapered it. I can still see the marks and it's so annoying.:rotfl:

    Everyone eating and then we'll do a bit in the garden, now it's colded down.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    GS1 has been knocked down at tea time. He is ok but sounds very much like he has a broken foot. DD wont let me go to the hosp so waiting for futher news. Have spoke on the phone to him so feel better Ive spoke to him. Foot is very swollen and a bit sticking out. All he is bothered about is his Rockports. He got off the bus and walked into the side of a car and it went over his foot. Bus stop just beside hospital so his mate carried him.

    Hope his foot is ok, at least his mate carried him - what a good friend
