Hello everyone, late again. Living in a major muddle while decorator is in. Went to get paintable paper and paint. Forgot to check if pot of paint I have is matt or silk so came back with paper only and a warm top and a pair of socks. Not all items are stocked by Homebase.OH decided to invite his cousin over after their uncle's funeral this morning - at least I got a GC lunch amidst all the hassle! Not much chance to catch up but
Gary :- D can't remember what for now but I liked it.
Inka, I like your upholstering. I did have a go at a very plain three seater sofa once when young and poor. Not a bad effort for a beginner and an interesting and satisfying experience.
Pam, hope to see piccy of camels in due course.
Becks, hope the lurgy takes itself back where it came from! Keep warm and indulge yourselves.
Have done in garden what set out to do. Was good & spent plenty of time sat on wall & didnt do too much in one go. Thermals brill!
Plumber gone for today. We now have a bath we can use, but musnt wet the lowest tiles around it. Daughter- no chance!
Will be doing a pressure cooked veg curry soon. Tomorrow will be fish & some baked pudding. OH & daughter are off to Trafford Centre I believe, so I shall be ironing & may even start the cards whilst I deal with constantly open doors- no, he didnt learn!
Friday I'm going out! Dont know where yet & OH can supervise the last bit of work!
Now to see if OH can pull the wheely bin round......? J.
Many's the hour I have spent waiting for OH to finish in a 2nd hand/charity bookshop. Where ever we go he always googles for the 2nd hand book shops. When we were moving I put a ban on buying books, Still is on until he gets round to putting up bookshelves. He has thoudands of books, A room full I do not like book shops for that resason - don't get me wrong I like a good read but......
Most I think, some probably years ago. He used to read on public transport as he went backwards and forwards to work. Now he has a Kindle type thing. He just won't get ris of them.
Selling some before we moved on Amazon meant I raised nearly enough to buy my lovely greenhouse.
We have a large bookcase across one whole wall in the alcove bit of lounge- the previous owner built it for his electric organ, so you get the dimensions. Trouble is... some of the books are double stacked ie what you actually see is only half the story......... Then there's OH's shelving in his study/workshop & the kitchen bookshelf ........! That now musnt have any more put onto it as it could buckle!!
Love Oxfam books- other charity shops are cheaper, but not always the same selection/quality. Am still debating a Kindle though for holidays. J.
I donate some, I buy some - think it works out about even! Need to sort out more to donate though because we need to clear the very large bookcase - its got to go. OH now only reads stuff on his Kindle. I'm sure there are still some school books on the shelf as well!
