Yes me too! I'm not doing wallpaper just emulsion. Would you like to come round and give me a hand?

I will treat you to your dinner I do a lovely pasta dish!!!:D

I would love to help you Claire but I'm afraid I'm cutting down bushes with Bexy and WMC.

We have loppers and secateurs and will be drawing straws as to who's trying out the chain saw first

I can wallpaper if someone puts the top bit up for me , my dad taught me how to paste and brush the air bubbles out. I have his wallpaper scissors and line (a little brass weight on a string). :A

It was his trade painter and decorator. White overalls with a pocket watch in the pocket so it didn't get covered in paint. I have that too.

:smileyhea it's called a plumb line and my Dad had one too even though it wasn't his trade. He taught me to wallpaper too amongst other things. How lovely

Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten what he called it. I couldn't let his pasting table go either even though we have our own. Think it is the same one he had when I was about three when we moved to the bungalow.

Sometimes Dad's are just the best. :A

I think he is in my mind today as I finally made the decision on what is to be added to his memorial for my mum. I had been putting it off again and again.

10 hours is nothing Em, it'll go by really quickly

Try 27 hours door to door SWales to SEPoland, I actually thought I would die...we arrived at OHs cousins house in the wee small hours, muttered incoherently then fell on the bed fully clothed and passed out for about 12 hours

Try 37 hours going from Durham to Krakow by train (made a bit longer by getting on the wrong train at one point and ending up in Warsaw :eek: )
