    So glad that all is going well in the new house. It all sounds really exciting. And we'll done on the results x
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!

    Thanks. Nearly done 3 rooms. Just the feature wall to go.

    Puppylove has decided since the children are away that bedtime requires a Labrador in one's bed.

    In "slightly wacky ideas" I put my (emulsion) paintbrushes in the WM and they came up great. What can go wrong?!

    Well the filter is full of horse hair and I solved the problem of the next wash by putting DH's clothes in...

    Machine about to finish I will report back.

    First coat of feature wall done. Purple Pout. It is VERY purple.
