Nooooo! In this day and age wood shouldn't be glossed. Sand it back and put a nice stain on it. Gloss is sooo 70's/80's and in my personal opinion, I think it looks horrible.:(

I don't like it either but would take me too long to get the old stuff back to natural wood, not too sure how many layers of gloss is on there :eek: although there is a lovely banister and raillings along the landing that I may take time to sand back, and am thinking of sanding and varnishing the stairs because I'm not too fussed on carpet although that would be the only place it would be in the house if I don't get round to doing them.

Just have to get the kitchen units sorted now and everything will be fine I hope

hi everyone
hope your all good, so many newbies at the moment!

well no T's for me in a while and burst into tears today when i did finally go in and got the most miniscule accidental dtd of all time, pathetic:(

loads of crap gone on at home and finally kicked the OH out for good a few wks ago, i just couldn't take anymore and the icing on the cake was that he told me he was never ever going to look for a job near us and had kept me hanging all these years on purpose. I was doing great for a few weeks but now i'm having a few weak moments, I must distract myself and keeping trying to remember when i miss him how he treated me like something on the bottom of his shoe but still feel like my insides have been ripped out:(

Am NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way letting him back this time, i know he thinks i will crumble as i am the weaker more needy one but i think i've realised thats was my naivity plus the psychological abuse that has just completely battered my self esteem. Just need reminding/distracting in any weak moments when i feel like emailing or texting. In fact kids haven't even mentioned him since he went which says it all really.

I didn't want to bring a downer onto the thread so avoided posting but am missing you guys, many others having a rough time too at the moment. A special hug for the 3dogs family and fudge cake, tiny shoes and flo flo.

Will be lurking again but really am not feeling the need to go bargain hunting at all as before and tbh think i did just to get away from him, how sad is that:(. Am going to concentrate now on the two things that matter most in my life, my faith and my kids.

Hugs to all xxx

oh my can't believ i was just posting that as neosi posted that joke, any other time i would have found that funny lol xx

Well done for being storng and doing what needed to be done. I'm sure there will be many dark days ahead where you question your decision. I'm sure our collective support will help you get through those dark days.....along with the odd bowl of ice cream!

has anyone a logical answer to this?

3 weeks ago tomorrow i had my toe amputated.

i shave my armpits and legs and bikini line every week, but since surgery there has been no hair growing. why? i am not taking any different medication.

Perhaps your body is saving all its reserves to grow a new toe?

How are the repairs to your new house coming along? :heart2:

Just off the phone with the housing association, the contractor are still insiting that the work has been done yet on the other hand are complaining about getting access to the property :eek::rotfl:
Housing guy coming out to 'sign off' the work, he said that because he will be in the property he can then take photos of the 'completed work' and then contact them with the complaint.

Work was supposed to be finished on the 12/6 so they're already a week behind :mad:

Planning to just move in this weekend anyway and go to my mum's for tea or exist on cold food for a wee while - won't go down well with DS though :rotfl:

Hi I need to get the washing done and then ironed so can i borrow miss laid too please :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Must go and put the washing machine on. Would have been finished if I had got my act in gear before sitting myself down with the laptop.

Guess I sort of hoped Miss Laid might have come round and got on with it for me, bet hers is all in from the washing line and dry already.
