we're having the outside of our house painted. because it's a semi and because the neighbours are having work done and are painting theirs soon too we chatted to them and agreed it would be nice to have both the same colour. Problem is we're in favour of different colours (albeit not radically different). now I don't know what to do and i'm kind of wishing we'd never asked - I think I'd prefer ours to be the colour we like more than I'd like them both to be the same iyswim. but dh and I always go for the easy life on things like this and back down and compromise etc. but for once I'm not sure I feel like being the easy-going ones.... but on the other hand can I really say to the neighbours "we know we asked your opinion and we know you like x but we're going for y anyway" not sure I've got it in me. oh pants.
