    Sounds entertaining Busy.  I have a pile of clothes I keep just for painting as they end up daubed too.  Separate pile for gardening. 

    Our living room has been painted a cold, muddy beige on 3 walls and off white on the 4th.  It has big windows on teh east and south so is failry bright.  The dining room is grubby white and only has one window in the upper 3/5th of a door so needs brightening.   Still thinking about colours tho I need to decide by January so I can buy paint in the sales period.

    Hi, looking for a bit of advice and you are the most knowledgable lot I know!

    It’s our last day and it was a rough sea for the tenders. Typically yours truly was the one scraped down the back of my Achilles‘ tendon.  Its not too bad but it’s my numb foot so no pain warning and of course tomorrow I need to wear shoes and will be travelling for
    most of the day. 
    heres the question,............ did I read recently that you guys were all talking about blister packs doing the healing job for lots of things. I think Fairy and doc mentioned it. I have them!
    should I use them?

    would be very grateful for advice

    No idea LP but hope you find some help and tomorrow goes well.

    I think @Fidgetbones was giving @Hostafan advice for his OH's burned foot.

    I decided to buy this house as I looked at the land as I drove up the drive. The condition/ decor/tidiness of the  garden and the inside of the house were completely immaterial to me.

    The trouble with asking for advice/opinions is that people don't always give the answers you want to hear. So, if you don't want it, don't ask for it.

    Asking the same question 5 different ways won't get 5 different answers either and, assuming the kerb appeal gets prospective buyers in thru the front doors, it's the interior that sells it in the first 30 seconds to the vast majority of buyers.  

    Now, who can help LP?  I don't suppose flip flops or mules will do?

     @Lily Pilly think it was 'Compeed' blister plasters they said work.  Hope it's better soon ((hugs))

    "Cosmopor" is one Hubby got, but I think they started off with something different. 
    My squeamishness stopped me paying more attention, sorry. :(

    @diana 1   Then as has been suggested it would've been better to post your query on one of the gardening sections and not on Hello Forkers in the Potting Shed where we specialise in friendly chit chat.

    Hope a sale comes through and you get the place of your dreams very soon.
