Morning Girls!
Dp and I have been snuggled up in bed with the dog practically all day glued to the first episode of 24 on the laptop. Just came downstairs to eat the dinner he made and when he gets back from the shop with my chocolate we'll be going back up there to continue watching it
Hope you're all having lovely mid-week evenings too and looking forward to Desperate Housewives later on!
Tessie - I found I didn't get anywhere nearly enough attention when I went brown and had to get it highlighted back again within a fortnight!
Wow! an october thread already
Has anyone else put a stone on yet? I was shocked last night to see that I have put on just OVER a stone, but his morning it was just a stone
Lippy, I had a massive iced bun this afternoon and TWO slices of hot chocolate fudge cake last night, so no, don't feel too bad about your extra afternoon teacake!
Hello Lollipop! congratulations on your girl!
chips and minstrals Jonah ?? Very strange...was that just for your benefit?
Lippy It's very straightforward - you just close the valves and unscrew the bits nearer the rad. It's messy - you'll need loads of towels and polythene, then you need to lift it off the brackets at the back. Mine was more complicated because I had exposed pipes to get rid off. I just followed the instructions in my Readers Digest DIY book but don't do what I did first and remove the whole of the valve Have a look here too
I find HSS very expensive, maybe you shoud shop around before going there to hire your sander. Some sanders have better extraction systems than others, but unfortunately it is unavoidably a dusty job. The best way to fill gaps is to mix PVA with sawdust (clean if possible) and kind of press it into the gaps horizontally so it sticks to the sides. It's a real pita, but very worthwhile. The best piece of advice I can give you for this job is to use a really good quality varnish. I would recommend Bonakemi Mega from these people . It's a two part varnish, but water based so not too pungent and will last years if you follow the instructions properly (don't scimp on layers)
CAT me if you get stuck
Tea! I don't believe for one moment you're only a B cup! You had a right pair of chihuahas down your top when I saw you!
I definitely have the most useless degree here - try Fine Art!!
