I need a lie down now after reading all that 😀 I agree about the plastering too, I damaged a wall in my bathroom a few years ago now so got it replasterd,I couldn't get over how smooth it was and kept going in to stroke it 😂🙀😂🙀

I’m halfway through the wallpaper stripping. It’s hard work that’s for sure. The walls are in a really bad state, there’s no way Mr SA will be able to patch them up. This is the last room where we still had wallpaper and I’ll never have it again, much easier just to paint. I’ll definitely get a plasterer in then a painter so the job is done properly. I know what you mean about stroking the walls OBL, I’ve done it myself 🤣
Right back to work, want to finish it today.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -

😂😂I’ve been known to stroke newly plastered walls too 😂🤪
You sounds as if you have done loads.
I’ve not done much - I just can’t get on when dh is at home - I don’t know why. I have been working this week but I’ve just had 2 weeks Easter holidays and spent the time chilling . I think half of my problem is I know I need new fences putting in and want to do a big declutter of the spare bedrooms and sheds.....but the tips are shut and what do I do with everything and the old fences if we can’t get rid of them. I’d rather leave it where they are and do it at a later date....out of sight - out of mind.....☺️I want to decorate the room the gks use and it’d be ideal as they won’t be visiting for a while but I haven’t seen any paper I like and I can’t motivate myself atm.
So I admire your get up and go.

Well I finished the stripping but it took all day 😩 Absolutely shattered now and I just know my back and neck are going to hurt tomorrow 😩
It was Mr SA’s birthday today, he’s had lots of beer bought him and the GKs video called him to sing Happy Birthday 🎂
The weather has done nothing but rain here so glad I got out with the dog first thing.
Mr M shop arrived tonight but a few things missing and a couple of substitutions.My Robert Dyas garden bits order finally arrived today hooray 🥂🎉 Mr SA is very happy with his new hosepipe.
The plan for tomorrow is to paint the bathroom but will see how stiff I am first.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
