I have a bed to dismantle.. the N£xt parcel is on its way back.. £180 refunded.. TYVM .. I only wanted the bits for the christmas photos.. yes yes, I know!!

OOooohhh.. I am really dizzy.. weird.. I have had to sit down because the dust in that middle room is unreal and my chest can't cope and is wheezing.

I found 2 boxes of fabric, 1 box of wool, 2 doom boxes and a box of gibble from OH's late step-aunt.. and 2 boxes of Meem stuff.. the new bed has 2 drawers.. I need to declutter!

Ricky is delivering my Parcel of lovely smelling cleaning stuff after 4pm.. my house will be lovely ... eventually!!

Right.. bed dismantling and OH can make a cuppa and put the deconstructed bed in the car boot with the broken airer and the remaining empty boxes *FLING*

Question for those that like decorating, gloss paint or satin wood paint on doors, I have 6 to paint both sides!

Sand and prime and satinwood.. I loathe gloss paint. If you can.. take them off, put them outside and spray or roller them.

OH says I don’t need to paint this before putting the bed in…. 😬😬😬😬😬

what do you sensible people say??? 

I will wash skirting in a minute I’m just wheezing a lung out and having a cuppa.

OH emptied Henry and slithered the desk and drawers across .. it is very much Tetris in there

I would do it, pigpen, if I was fit enough - but I'm not allowed to do any decorating for at least another 2 months, so unfortunately I am unable to help you.

Last night I started a 1000-piece jigsaw that was my CP from DS2.  This is not conducive to Flying.

I love decorating so it is great fun.. I will load the DW and WM's first.. and get the 2 items out for posting and sort those.. then see if I have time.. it might get done tomorrow but it was only done a couple of years ago but is matt paint so can't be wiped and is nasty.. I have to clear chair space upstairs before the girls can go to bed too.. I will get this house sorted and habitabl and clean again.. it is not clean right now and I don't want EC to be forced to live elsewhere if she doesn't want to.. I might like to be able to foster another older child in need when EC feels ready to be independent... because I just don't have enough on!

Cat trsys need scooping and I have prescriptions to pick up .. arggh..... I clearly do not like myself very much this month

Gloss if you like it shiny, but apparently it’s out of fashion.  I used Wickes Satinwood recently, was very pleased.  Sand as Piggers says, you can use white emulsion to prime.  

I remove handles and I use aluminium foil under the doors as protection….it’s easy to move with the door and it doesn’t ruck up and stick to the paint.

Fridge cleaned out, shelves etc washed.  Got a spud in the oven for my lunch and there are a couple of banana loaves in there *insert spinning Martin* and I made 3 puff pastry mince pies with the left over puff pastry too.

I’d paint it tbh.  I like decorating too., Piggers.  And DD does and she’s even better than me!

I would do it asap, while it’s still light.

Hope you all well

stuff to charity, bed changed, book finished and made sure hubby was sorted as him and his dad have gone to a funeral today 2 hours away

meanwhile my new washer is here and I feel sick about how much I spent as had to pay to have fitted and removed as well as cost of washer and delivery 😢

best get tumble dryer back in as all the towels I used yesterday to mop up will have to go in rather than dry in house 🤷‍♀️

Satinwood 5Ltr ordered, thanks all.

Piggers yes paint the wall etc.

Dangerous stuff (very wet and windy here atm, so inside, internet is amusing me) the internet, been looking at water butts again, plus beds for OH and me, goodness knows how old the one is we have inc the mattress but I think in the region if about 18 years, put mu purse for my cards away twice and so far not bought anything, I'll save up, bed 1st, so that will be end of MArch or May time, water butt, hopefully commonsense will have come to me nd a £50 water butt will do, not one priced at £350, but it is pretty and lovely.            

Cats blankets back in their places, cats ignoring them.

Cat 2 now had his AB.
