Penny i'm not sure that is a job when I have an hour free for sure! Want to get that letter written and sent off asap so think Monday morning will be devoted to that.

Just popped on to say I am well chuffed I have acquired a free extending Table and 4 chairs this afternoon. I just happened to be on FB at the right time on a sales site and it popped up as free and I snapped it up have been wanting to replace my table for ages as ours is cheap rubbish arg0s type MDF carp. (which i only bought as was super duper cheap) I did NEED 3 chairs as my old ones broke slowly over the last few weeks so i'm happy now as it was free, and very local I am planning on shabby chic'ing it as it's an awful orangey pine (sorry if you have this or like it, it's not my cup of tea!) just need to choose a colour! :T

Oh and I hope to sell on/ freecycle my table when i've finished this one so it won't be going to landfill

Pics all uploaded ready for fleabay for other shabby chic'd bits already completed. Wish i could put them on here but it's too much of a pain plus I don't want to get recognised (posted some on my fb ) xx

Thats brilliant news, I know what you mean about the orange look, think it was very fashionable in the 80s, my kitchen cupboards have the same look, one day when i have time I want to sand them and paint them in cream eggshell.

debtfreewannabe321

yes that's the look....1980s...i'm sure my mum had lots of it too (perhaps that's why i don't like it lol I remember her moaning after a while..)

I'm desperate to get started on the sanding and stuff but the kids have commandeered it and are using it as a den will have to wait until they are in bed

Just realised Yesterday was NSD #9 :j:j Today might well be #10 but i'm secretly hoping DH gets home from the zoo with my car so I can pop to a DIY shop and buy some sandpaper, primer & paint :rotfl: I started sanding this morning with my borrowed sander and the sand paper broke after doing 1/3 of the table. DS1 and I managed to use the torn bits to do two chair tops though :T so only 4 more chairs to go :eek: and 2/3 of the table :rotfl: (easy?!) I can't wait to finish it and get it in my kitchen all done :T I may try posting a pic of that one oh and whilst looking for items to 'dress' our for sale pieces I came across a wedgewood set in my wardrobe which I had forgotten about :o mum had given it to me ages ago and I think it was hidden from the babies...well they're not babies anymore and haven't broken anything in a while :rotfl: so i've chanced them out again on my kitchen table! A lovely set of candle sticks and a medium sized plant pot :T You might almost think I had some money if you came into my house now (via the back door straight into the kitchen where they live :rotfl:)

:A

Great that you have started on the tables and chairs i'm sure it will look lovely when its finished and Well done on finding the wedgewood peices.

I have some antique royal doulton pieces that have sat in a box since I got married:( (wedding present) one day when I have the money I will buy a cabinet to show them off .

debtfreewannabe321

Oh no you should find somewhere to put them! I love walking into my kitchen now with lovely painted walls & shelving and my Wedgwood sat there Soon there will be lovely new table & chairs too DH is taking his time at the zoo.....he's been there a million times! Hurry home so I can go spend some money (it's not often I say that anymore lol)

debtfreewannabe321

Not a nsd but I did get out to get my sandpaper and some primer :T also got some shopping from s' bury as was next door! Hopefully that will last now for a few days! DD must be having a growth spurt as she's not stopped eating! !!

I finished sanding table and chairs and primed the chairs but not the table. Will do a secon coat on chairs tomorrow and 2 on table so I can paint it all before the end of the week! it's exciting stuff!!
