    evening all xx
    spent this week redecorating ds3 bedroom as he has always shared and has never had a choice of decor, so now ds2 has moved into the girls room and we had new windows so repair work had to be done thought I would do it nicely. so i thought i would share with the elite what i learnt..
    1. putting hair in a bun is a good idea, but remember its taller than you when on a ladder, white hair is not a good look:o:o
    2. dont answer your mobile with blue gloss on your hands,:p
    3. dont step back of a ladder, you cant fly :(
    4. make sure the wallpaper has dried before painting with a roller, or it might fall of :rotfl:
    5. make sure the person your decorating for wants the change or you may end up with him choosing the same paper and paint you just stripped of :eek: but at least it looks clean and fresh.:rotfl::rotfl:
    6. if making curtains remember the sewing machine needle is very sharp and fingers are soft

    hope this helps all budding diy ers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    final idea save money on elite and pay someone else ;)

    Hello everyone :)

    Went in search of glitchy donuts and thorntons cake earlier but there were none in my rubbish store, just typical :mad:

    Funnily enough, that's what I usually remark in frustration at the shelving in my stores when they don't have things I want! Rubbish store!:rotfl: Either that or - useless store!!:mad::rotfl:.

    I still think that my main store deliberately removes anything that compares well or removes the glitchy triggers from the shelves so I can't get them!

    Aww, you should have bought 2 packs of the "Indulgent" ones, at 2 for £3 (£2.25 individual price).

    I know, but these were the only ones they had, so I took a chance cos they looked yummy!

    MY OH has reached a new level of annoyance.

    He has just found that if he logs onto the sky account via his phone using the new sky HD ap he can access his photo collection and view them on the TV - so now his 30 year collection of train photos and his 20 thousand collection of ship photos he can view on the big screen

    :eek:

    That's not as annoying as my OH. Everyone he meets has to been shown a pic of his gaming PC that he built with 3 monitors. He's even shown it to strangers he starts talking to whilst out and about. Honestly no one escapes, if you talk to him you will be shown this pic and hear the story about it :rotfl:

    Have any of the elite used 3v to pay for their tv licence? I thought I had read somewhere on here about this but according to dd (who is kindly doing it for me) it says you need to combine all the 3vs together and pay £1.75 fee for each one? TIA
