I trust that 2 rolls of paper is enough!

Just one wall. And yes, due to the pattern match length I need two rolls. I'm not a fan of pattern all around the room!

Hello.

Yes I did do my 4/5 NSDs in the week :T

I am 11/16 so far so very respectable. I have had a bit of a spendy day today as had lunch with friends ( with 25% off discount) and then spent a whopping £12 in a charity shop I don't go to often as is not nearby. Three great books I want to read, two rolls of laura Ashley wallpaper for £2 each and some pot pourri which I'm not normally a fan of but the colours are perfect for the fabric I have bought last weekend for cushions etc for spring update in the lounge. Just checked and paper is still on laura Ashley on sale for £18 a roll ( in the sale £40 a roll full price :eek:

So a good spendy day as total lounge update including decorating will cost £60

PS hope the snowman is coming along!

Great stuff, will need some tips as back at work next week.


And excellent buys on the wallpaper, love LAshley. Got me in the mood now.:D


Mr Snowman, not started yet, as it snowed all afternoon but stopped now, pity its too dark now.

Work NSDs are really about planning for me. Take lunch with ( as that is major temptation). I'm lucky I can't wander around shops at lunchtime so that risk is gone! Late evening weds so treated to evening meal out ( not expensive) in between work. Am out one night next week ( present for Christmas from a friend) so will eat out then but otherwise no spends planned

Good luck back at work next week. It was like falling off a log when I went back ( or something like that anyway!!)

I only needed 2 rolls for the room (well, 1 wall) I papered, and was very very surprised.

I like the one wall papered as well, call it a feature wall, although have had a notion to do something really different in my spare room1, if I can ever find the time.

bexster1975

Yes time is certainly the limiting factor! Not going out tomorrow and OH will be watching football later in the day so may get the sewing machine out and start on the cushions

Wallpapering will have to wait a few weeks I think

Thanks,


We have no staff room or changing room, no kettle, fridge or sink, nowhere to hang your sodding wet jacket put your brolly up to dry or get changed, so nowhere to keep food/drinks cold and nowhere to de-stress/switch off for a small period at break/lunch times. Although there are now microwaves available for use but in the main it is really difficult.


I've just read that last paragraph over and realised what I'm going back to Like falling off a log ...... did you mean like falling off the .....wagon .......:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:DAh ... Ha ..... just had a thought .... not doing up your house for selling, are you ?? that news you were talking about, change of plans etc ..... ?? Hmmm, just a thought, any nearer to deciding ??:D

I won't steal the excitement of finding out for yourself!

Shame about carp facilities at work. I do have a fridge and kettle and microwave in my office so am much more fortunate ( I can also lock my lab door and if I go in the office no one knows I'm in there so can escape at lunchtime.

The only place we can lock the door and get some peace is the loos and they don't even have "staff" ones.

Ok, so now i'm getting hysterical .... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
