    I am not having much luck today. Well apart from getting curtains sorted. I have been painting the kitchen this aft. I have dropped some paint on tiles on floor and not realised. What a sod. Splot splot splot as she walks the paint through the house. At this rate it will take me longer to clean up than it is to decorate. I should have got a man in............ Then a decorator. Must keep my mind on the job. Must keep my mind on the job.

    Ahh bless, just get a man in and forget about the painting.;)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I was very good and didnt swear, in fact my kids have never heard me swear, just a funny thing with me as I never heard my Mother swear either.

    I'm the same :A - DS was shocked when I called someone an old fart the other day when I was driving, he giggled though. some of the kids at his school swear like troopers so I'm just not thinking about it, he's only 8...

    I had thought about getting a decorator in, but they charge soooooo much and i would want more than my walls licking with with a pot a paint for that price. Now where did i put that phone book.
