    I don't post very often, and I'm 4 weeks behind in reading so still on the thread for the first week in January but I am - having a panic and need some advice. We have just had a painter and decorator in - never done that before - to do a big room, we did tester pots etc. I've been out at work and come back and I hate the colour. Had a big cry. What do I do? He is back tomorrow to do all the woodwork. I'm really embarrassed and so so gutted.

    To add - I am very fortunate that I have enough money that I could have it done again. But so gutted and no sure how to do that whilst being fair to the painter because if he doesn't come tomorrow he will lose a days work. Can just the wall paint be done without doing the woodwork if he comes back?

    Doobop.. I did the same with my hallway.. I had it done yellow and hated it.. so I told him to stop.. I went out and bought a different colour, took it home and said I'm sorry but please do it this colour instead.. the guy was lovely about it.. it happens a lot.

    Back again! Next week I'll see if I can actually do a whole week! Major stress gone as finished loaning Huck yesterday and good news as found another one who is literally only 5 mins down the road so very happy!

    Haven't done anything from lists but did so some washing today and yesterday. Not riding again till Friday so will see what I can do over the next few days.

    Thank you pigpen. Feel like such a plonker and someone has paid for it as a lovely, lovely gift. Don't want to fess up to them that I've made a bad choice. I won't be able to get new paint for tomorrow, so if he doesn't come back tomorrow he has lost a day's work.
    Edited to add, tried to ring him, no answer

    WM run, clean washing sorted and returned to owners, bedding changed ready to wash in the morning, dinner cooked, kitchen tidied, fridge contents looked at - not inspiring.
    Sorry - I had to list out the little that I had done, as I thought I'd actually done nothing in the way of flying. I came home from work with an almighty stress headache again, so that had better not be becoming the norm. I really ought to get myself in gear and do something useful now, but I think it might be pjs and do nothing time.

    Mumof2 - glad you managed to get a new loan sorted. Enjoy!

    been to The Deep

    Stupidly excited to also see the Humber Bridge and the Spurn Point lightship.

    No mishaps and no vomit...boom!
