    Bathroom update:
    Ceiling - 16 million coats and still looks odd :(.
    Walls - 2 coats, ran out of paint, fortunately they still make it, unfortunately it's £24 :eek:.

    Also in painting hell... since last Thursday have completed a large double bedroom and living room. Now just the gloss work to go on the hall/stairs/landing but with a new banister I'm feeling overwhelmed.

    So, quick raid on posh fabric shop tomorrow - do I buy some fabric and get Roman blinds made, or do I get the existing curtains made into them :cool:.

    What? Well I buy the posh fabric I want then make myself...

    Here we go again :) And an extra special HSmademyday.gif to Jonathon Fox as I've finally seen a medal ceremony with the UK winning :T. I was very brave and didn't cry once all night (usually blub like a baby when it's on TV at every ceremony :o), till it got to the last medal ceremony when the Mexican who got silver cried the whole way through the ceremony so I came out in sympathy :o. So, just for you, Arnulfo Castorena -

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
