    Me too.  One of my absolute favourites.  Thin on the ground here so I'm hoping to pick some up next week when I drive Possum back to Namur.

    Ooh I love the doubles too. Good when he goes out and buys though. Very nice.  :)
    I'd have thought you'd need to be careful about wetting that paper too much because of the plasterboard. Always a bit tricky. 
    Been a lovely day here apart from a real downpour early afternoon. My bird food arrived - I ordered online to save some dosh. Two massive [badly packed] bags. No idea where they're going!  :D

    But you don't wallpaper straight onto bare plasterboard do you?
    Hubby always says " let the water do the work"
    He takes off the face of the vinyl then lays it face down on the floor ( on dustsheets too, obviously ) and the excess water get soaked up mostly in the old paper.

    Didn't you have a skim of plaster put on the board?

    I would have expected the builder to skim plaster over the bare plaster board.

    Don't the edges of the plasterboard show through the paper?

    Not if they’ve been skimmed.
