my oh is a mechanic ........but my car is last priority...i will get a new exhaust when it falls off never mind the sounds it makes now :rotfl: ! luckily hes good at d.i.y so my downstairs is all done well nearly just abit of skirting board to do !

so mrs any ideas on what i can do to my spare room ? we should be foster carers next year so would need to be welcoming but suit boys/ girls of different ages ! i am up for anything with one exception...MAGNOLIA !! i know people love it but its a pet hate of mine ! want something quite cheerfull but chilled out ! my room is teal and white and dd has fushia ...was thinking some purple ( not lilac ) but duno if would still be girle so maybe a turquoise but not as dark as my teal....any suggestions ?

thank you in advance xxx

I love decorating:)I did one room in duckegg blue, coffee and cream
and it's pretty neutral. And it suits boys or girls. Did it in stripes of colour going round the room and it does look effective. And theirs stacks of accessories about in those colours at the moment.

I love Cath kidston & Laura Ashley, I've got a really eclectic mix;) My hall is all Laura Ashley thanks to a ppi refund a few months back and I've got a bench in the hall that we call Laura after LA. Whoa betide anyone who leaves their coat on Laura:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:or moves my cushions;)

i told my wife not to waste money on L.A. bedding. well i got home from work and it was on the bed. since sleeping in it i must admit its worth the extra. but i wont tell her as she will get like you and get load of them.:rotfl:

I have ways of making him do my jobs:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:But seriously I am lucky, he's not happy just redecorating a room he has to build something or knock a wall down, and he's in his element with a mini digger. Even my garden shed has footings, is built of brick and prettily pebble dashed. But I did come home one day in our old house to scaffolding up the side of the house and a hole in the roof.He'd conveniently forgot to tell me we were having a loft room built AFTER we'd just had the hall, stairs and landing redecorated and carpeted:eek:

I know exactly what you mean! Our shed is made of bricks and rendered and painted. It has footings too. A proper roof and Upvc door and window!

One day I was walking up our street and looked at one of the downstairs windows of our house and thought how very clean the glass looked. As I got nearer, I realised that there was no glass in it. He had decided that he didn't like the way he had fitted it about a year before and had suddenly decided to remove it and re-fit it!

If you like CK and LA then stay well away from TKMaxx, they have a lot of V&A bedding in right now and it's GORGEOUS! Picked up a set in Merry Hill for £22.49 down from £80! Mind you that doesn't beat my first V&A fix, got a double set in a charity shop in Street for £7.99, there because someone had spilt a TINY amount of nail polish on it so they'd donated the bedding and matching curtains, sooooooooo thrilled when I saw it in TKMaxx for £30 down from £80, what a saving!!

I'm going to bed now but just had to say I'm lethal in TK Maxx. Love there stuff because it's all so different. I'll always find something in there even if its just a candle:)
Really am off now, so handing over to the night shift;)

Power has tried to come back on twice now but it's gone straight off which isn't a good sign.

that sounds like a good idea !! at the moment the carpet is pink but thinking a pale laminate and that would look lovely together ooo and a nice rug lol getting excited now !! just need to get rid of the xmas pressie pile move my wardrobes into my own room ( weve been spoilt for space so far ) and then i can get painting :-)

thank you mrs and sorry for keeping you up when you were off to bed ...night night x
