    Well, a lot of sanding and undercoating has taken place - my mum has been an absolute trooper and has helped me loads. We've only just stopped, and will be starting again tomorrow morning. Even though we still have the glossing to do, it already looks better - cleaner and brighter, so I am very pleased.

    Very tired. But so far so good! By this time tomorrow we will have achieved quite a lot!

    Well done. It does make a massive difference doesn't it?

    Even my 6 year old noticed - so it must be worth it! :D

    Yes, I got a similar reponse from a 14 year old boy, and anyone who has teenage boys will know that is praise indeed :rotfl:

    Ooh yes - if you get more than a grunt I guess it time for celebration! :D

    Are you running tomorrow? I'm off to buy new GNR trainers tomorrow as mine are past their sell-by so DH is treating me.
    I'm hoping to find a bargain.... after I've done at least 9 miles :o

    Yes am running tomorrow morning - am booked in for an hour and a half.....

    Forgot to mention my news today.......in amongst all the excitement of prepping woodwork, I have got myself a cleaner :j

    Just 2 hours a week starting after the children have gone back to school.....so not a huge expense but one that I will happily give up eating for if necessary :D

    no, sadly, but it IS a lady who is giving up a "proper" job (ie one with a wage and everything) to set up as a cleaner, so very similar in many ways, and I got her last slot, so I am very pleased!
