    Morning everyone :D

    I am not going to be drawn further on the subject NorthernLas - we all have to find our own ways of dealing with it, no 'one-size-fits-all' ;)

    It isn't as sunny today but dry and warm so I've stripped the bed and got washer on now, hoping it will still dry on the line :D

    I put washing out yesterday, it hadn't dried, so I brought it in, and dried it on dryer in front of open window last night. Heard mutterings about why put it on the washing line and then on dryer.... well it was dry this morning wasn't it? MEn!

    sounds like you had a good day yesterday 3Dogs. What colour paint are you buying/bought?

    I am getting Crown Liquer emulsion for all my walls - got enough colour to give warmth to room without being dark. It was already in a house we rented in 2001 and we loved it, so used it in last house too. Very versatile as it sort of takes on the other colours in the room

    It takes on the red or pink of a room, or loses that tone when put with browns. Got to find it at a good price though !!

    I do feel very guilty at dragging the gang all this way to do my decorating, but they offered, want to do it, and wouldn't take no for an answer :o and I just can't do it myself :(

    sounds lovely and sure you will find it at a good price.

    Don't feel guilty, can just see Kit now in her painting gear, with head scarf and overalls.... :D

    They love helping you and you know it will be fun with them helping you. And it will be a mini holiday for them.

    got letter from Court today - they have excused me from Jury Service.

    They didn't say if you would be considered at a later date, did they?

    Laughing now at image of Kit in her head scarf and overalls :rotfl: :rotfl:

    but probably more like this, as she is always going on about her 'big' butt:

    This is kit using Steve's 'puter. He is more than willing to turn up in his birthday suit. We can charge and make some money.

    Glad you did so well today. Steve says can you find one for Andy? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Really pleased as I had lost 5 1/2 pounds in my first week at S/world :j :j I did the pay-in desk for the first session and then the weigh-in table for the second session and left as that class started. I took the dogs out for a walk as soon as I got back and it was just as well as it started to rain just after we got back into the house ;)

    Perhaps Andy might prefer this cheeky little number?

    but rumour has it that he got the wrong idea when I mentioned nude painting:
