    I am cheesed off today.

    My central heating has been playing up.
    It has been loosing pressure very quickly & needing topped up 2-3 times times a week.
    So the boiler man was out this morning.
    There are no obvious leeks in the system & there is no problem with the boiler.
    So where is the blooming leak?? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Not a week til Wednesday. Yes, thinking of the fence finally being painted.
    Need to think of a colour~~any thoughts people?

    I like soft greens for the garden. Find that the dark browns/oranges make the space feel darker and smaller. Wilko Willow is nice for example, and was ok to work with.

    Morning Beanie.

    No idea about the CH problem sorry.

    I'm with Redofromstart, our shed is Wilko willow green and I love it but my lovely FIL used to paint the shed for us and hated anything green so wasn't impressed :rotfl:

    Randomly thinking about your chair this morning, did you manage to find one you liked? xx

    Sorry to hear you're feeling so tired. It's definitely all about crying today ;) I cry 'ugly'. Mouth contorts, big red swollen eyes, snotty nose. But if something is worth doing it's worth doing properly :rotfl: xx

    Have you got a leak in a valve Beanie. Has to be coming out somewhere.

    I kind of think a slightly greyer version of the green on here would be good - the green where it says Welcome Beanie..you last visited. It seems quite relaxing.

    On DIY SOS it was called French something. They painted the bedrooms in it!
