TS Just in case you are wondering Kev was out the back with a cigarette not a gay man

oops I'm with dizzy, don't beat yourself up about it. No harm done.

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:14

too much or in fitting with Moroccan tent theme?

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:26

changed my mind, feature wall now done in

this

and rest of walls painted in a very very very pale gold colour

now, where's sodding Kev with the flooring?!?

PetitFilou1 · 27/01/2009 11:27

Osborne and Little dizzy I like your style

sazzles may not be keen though as she threatened eviction on the installation of leopard print. Still I think it is a case of while the cat is away the mice can be fecking decorating geniuses

Just waiting for your accessorising now (kicks Linda Barker away from tent entrance)

Off to feed sleeping son today as I appear to have had two hours free time this morning and will pay for it later otherwise

PetitFilou1 · 27/01/2009 11:27

dizzy NO get the zebra print back up

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:29

ataraxis · 27/01/2009 11:29

sorry, got distracted.
Loving the purple - is it flock?

ah - hearing dd, gotta go

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:31

ataraxis, doubt its flock at that price from Homebase but M&S were selling off some really lovely red flocked christmas wrap for just 50p a roll - maybe we could loads of that and bung it up!??

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:39

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:43

ataraxis · 27/01/2009 11:56

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 11:56

back.

boot camp was just AWESOME this morning.

have hired a masonry crew to build us a fire place. was getting of sazzles and vg with all their fireplace lounging. now we can have our own here.

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 11:57

fireplace
seems i left my brain somewhere this morning....oh right, brain does not switch on til 7am and it's only 6:57am.

ataraxis · 27/01/2009 11:58

bootcamp+awesome=

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 11:59

Am thinking the size of tent this needs to be to fit all of us in we can have a purple and a zebra print feature wall without them being close enough to clash!!

for purposes of weaning, I'm also having a really big round table put in the middle (with lazy susan on it) and high chairs too

am also considering some reliners and chaise longes for those of us who have had bad nights

and lots and lots of these

fatboys

now, can someone finish off the soft furnishings please

god, we're better than DIY sos and 60 minute makeover

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 11:59

once the thread is all nice and tidy, should someone go ahead and give it a new name and new location. the london ladies will really be lost then.

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 12:00

oh now now, how will they all see our hard efforts if we move before they're back!?

TS can I leave it with you to organise Kev the builder as he's taking the piss out of me now

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 12:01

bootcamp+awesome

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 12:02

where's the old boy now.

OH KEV, DEAR.

i knew this whip would come in handy.

TwilightSurfer · 27/01/2009 12:03

Oh MY! I think Kev is into S&M.

dizzydixies · 27/01/2009 12:05
