I don't like painting much so thought it was worth a try!

blimey, you must live in a mansion! 13 rooms!

I must get off my arse and get on with painting. Started painting kitchen around 7 years ago and got as far as above door (around 5 feet painted) and gave up.

Have bought tester pots a few weeks ago and had a play, decided on colour and bought paint. Am now unsure whether I like the colour but just need to get on with it.

Also need to paint front of house. Had new front door last year and the fitters damaged around the edges and fixed with huge patches of grey on top of lovely cream paintwork. Bought several shades of tester pot last summer in the hope to just match it up and cover the grey bits. Unfortunately its obvious I have to paint the whole front and the paint is just sitting in the garage. I keep saying I'll start and then it bloody rains. Was going to have a go this morning and suprise suprise, bloody raining again.
