    oh and whilst I am on about my chairs - I was a little worried about sticky fingers spoiling the lovely gingham so a visit to Dunhelm and parting with £4.50 (Bargain) I have it sorted - have covered the gingham with a thin plastic cloth and stapled underneath the chair - now they can withstand meal times as well as craft times (hopefully)

    The chap in Dunhelm - very knowledgeable and really sweet said that a lot of people use it to line washbags etc too

    It does appear a lot brighter on here than it really is - it is the same colour/paint as my chairs - they are nearer the window when the picture was taken so is a truer reflection of the colour - have you seen the lady online that painted her washer and did it polka dot - totally awesome

    I should hope so at that price! Eeek! They used to go on about it on 'Change that'. I loved that show! They should bring it back in these frugal times!
    Thanks danemi1
