    Any preferences? I think I like bottom left.

    If we were playing battleships, I like C3, but pick your paint to compliment the things already going in the room. Have you picked curtains etc as I would pull a colour from those and have it colour matched exactly. Its easier/cheaper to match paint to furnishings than to match furnishings to paint, iyswim.

    I'm colourblind so have no clue. Apparently some of them are either a bit pink or green, I can't tell which ones, apart from the blue one they all look like different shades of the same colour to me!

    Really? I thought they were a bit brown or a bit blue :)

    She recommended sun cream to block the X RAYS. .

    Yeah... nope, not until you've got permission from your cancer doctors.

    Pharmacists are nice people with degrees, but I wouldn't trust one OR a GP on this. Trust your experts. Maybe send them a email or call them if you've got urgent questions.

    I'm happy to use the pain killing cream the pharmacist recommended although I always wash the area thoroughly with baby shampoo before going to the hospital to get rid of unctions, potions and dead skin. In general, this is too serious to entrust to anyone who is less than the best expert I can find. Westmead Hospital is the best place to be treated for cancer in the Southern Hemisphere apparently and possibly the best place outside the US.

    I'm even avoiding too much Google. I don't want to start kidding myself that I really understand what's happening although I will find out after treatment has finished.

    DS is in Eastern Turkey, and just emailed this:

    "Currently in Diyabakir and staying here for the next couple of days at least - I'm trying to assess whether ıt ıs safe to carry on to Iraq gıven events ın Mosul...

    Love
    Adam"

    Does he write these things just to wind us up?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My answer would be, "Lovely idea but I've just checked with your travel insurer and your not covered."

    Is the column near the light switch A or 1?

    Just remember that covering the whole wall will make the colour more powerful on the eye. I would go C1 or A3 depending on your referencing (the column near the light switch, 3rd one down). But then I like neutrals.

    Don't knock it. She's achieved her dream. It doesn't matter how prosaic it may seem. I once worked with a woman who just wanted to own her own 3 bed semi in Streatham. Some people were really snide about it when she finally sold the flat in Brixton and bought it but I was made up for her (not saying you're being snide BTW, just to be clear).

    The first time we drove through this area, we drove past a house and I fell in love with it. Only saw the outside but I thought it was beautiful. It has just come on the market, marketing pictures make the inside look as good as the outside.

    For the avoidance of any posh alerts, it is clearly way above my budget.

    Who would have thought that suncreams can block X rays?

    I switched my mobile phone on when the plane had landed. My mother had a fit in case it interfered with the piloting. I doubt even an iphone can make a plane take off!
