    The landing pile is almost gone; it's down to a box of junk and a London road atlas that has lived in OH's car(s) for 40 years, so it's just a tad out of date. Plus, neither of us enjoys driving, so why we would even think of taking the car to London is beyond me. I'll be in trouble if I make the decision unilaterally, so cue a long negotiation about one book. *sigh*

    I now can't find my 3 tog duvet. Grr.

    Oooh look forward to seeing pic!
    Dr Bumpkins recommends:
    1. Eat the toast
    2. Drink the cider
    3. Get binbag ready to dispose of any remaining sh*te when you get back from work tomorrow
    4. Know you are fab & get a good night's sleep

    Thank you Doctor, that's just the sort of pep talk I need! :beer:

    Here's the pic my friend was working from:

    And here's what she came up with:

    She has only been painting in her spare time for a couple of years and I really love what she's done. We just need to find somewhere to hang it now!

    Thanks again for your lovely words :) I'm off to strategically place a black bag on the Coffee Table of Doom by way of threat. After refilling cider glass, natch xx

    They're both wonderful - how on earth do you manage to match your eye shadow with the exact shade of green in his rugby shirt?

  • What a fantastic painting! She has captured you especially well.

    Cheers!! :beer: Dr's orders :p

    Thank you all :) I agree that DS2 isn't quite as "sharp" as I am, but he is thrilled to be immortalised in oils nonetheless. She has captured the moment so well, I don't even mind that she's included my [STRIKE]crow's feet[/STRIKE] laughter lines. As for the eyeshadow, that's definitely a happy accident as generally my makeup doesn't even match what I'm wearing, never mind my skids!

    DS2 dotes on me, he is such a loving boy and saves at least 95% of that love all for me <3 I asked him recently if he'd like it if me and OH could have a baby together (moot point as he is a Jaffa and I'm a barren old spinster :rotfl:) and his response was "no thank you Mummy, I like being your baby!"

    Valli, sounds harsh, I hope you can take a deep breath and let your annoyance go. If not, you're welcome to a cider, or three xx
