The "things to do today" list makers, otherwise known as the Slatterns - thread 248,309

[FAQinglovely]

here you go - new shiny thread all ready for us when the current one fills up

Just checking in, nasty bruise on arm and my plumbum, I would get dh up ladders only I'm a very picky painter and won't allow him to cut in the colour around ceiling

Although I was that tired its not my usual standards, but I got told off by dh for being so stubborn

(whispers) Its abit yellow not sure I like it, wishing I had went with the lemony cream I already had in utility, which is going to get painted over tonight

BUT its is def better than the red!!

Anyway hope your all okay, have to go get dd1 and then off to dancing, MIL paid for my hair so that made up for bruised bum

JKS house is white pebbledash and previous owners had it rented out and it wasn't looked after at all, so dh is out scrubbing with some special cleaner!

That explains it PBM! could he use a jetwash or would that chip of the pebbledash?
You may find the yellow settles down once its dried?
