I can't feel much difference.

Thanks GreenT!

Here is my list for today

finish and put away washing
make up bunk beds
clear out and clean the porch
clean doors and skirtings (they are disgusting)
Take dd out with Plops
fill cracks/dings in plaster
touch up gloss
touch up emulsion.

I think it took about 1 1/2 stone before people noticed it on me - and then I went and put it all back on! That 1 1/2 stone didn't mean any smaller clothes, either - as I'd obviously been squeezing myself into things a size too small - but it did mean that they then began to fit better


We're meant to be decorating here, too - DS3's room - but OH is still asleep in bed...... Ho hum

Hope the gussying goes well

Ha ha. Also squeezing self into too small clothes!

Items 1 and 2 done and 4 started.

For the first time I can see why they boarded over the period moulded doors in the 60s. The filth that collects!

The touching up and the porch didn't go so well but the rest was good.
I am too unfit for a full day of manual labour.

Right. Up and at 'em. Photos day.

Wish us luck!

We're almost at the end of our week long exercise to decorate the front room. That makes it sound like it is a very large room but it isn't, it's one of the smallest front rooms I have had but there is only me and youngest doing it and I have about as much energy and physical ability as a melted chocolate spoon so can only do a few hours a day and even then, in little bits with rests in between.

Despite having a major declutter just over a year ago, there has been a mammoth amount of stuff being chucked out this time including furniture, some of it intentional, some of it because when we moved them, they fell to pieces!

Goodness only knows what middle and eldest are going to say when they come home from university for Easter (if they both come home that is, eldest may be staying there this time), it will probably be a session of moan a lot.
