Housely Renovations - Report #3

[panik]

High on Solpadene and Radio Four, I have tackled the spare room which is now pleasingly skimmed with some Polyfilla stuff that does the job of plaster without the angst and pain of the actual horrible powdery red-stuff you mix in a bucket and gets everywhere and... yuk. No. Polyfilla-stuff's a dreadful price - but nothing like as dreadful as employing a bona-fide plasterer. To paraphrase Father Ted, it takes the misery out of plastering a wall.

Mark has sugar-soaped the bedroom and we're now good to go with the painting tomorrow.

My back feels loads better - not sure if that's the result of the stretching and bending or just the Solpadene. Time will no doubt tell.

So I'm all showered and shiny and back on the sofa. I suppose I should start thinking of rustling up some dinner in a bit but not until I've got on the outside of a glass of much-needed wine. (o:

Raising a glass to you babe - I've foundered on the sofa myself. Alas, alack and hic *g*

Ah, you're a woman after me own heart.

I really should get the vegeburgers on the grill but... the sofa, she is so comfy and welcoming...

I wish there was something half-decent on t'telly. What I'd really like is to flounder half-naked in the garden. Damn you, howling wind, driving rain and unseasonable temperatures! ::shakes fist::

Solpadeine's great, isn't it?!

I'm glad that the 'plastering' didn't cause you too many problems, take care with the painting tomorrow and enjoy your wine!
::clinks glass::

And yep, I have 'The Mummy' on in the background too...

Telly's rubbish tonight isn't it? ::sigh:: Time to raid the DVD shelf - again. Maybe Blackpool will do the trick. And wine, lots more wine to dull the pain. (o:

Painting tomorrow. I like painting. Painting to The Archers omnibus. Oh yes! *g*

I do hope the improvement in your back is due to the workout you gave it, and therefore lasting, rather than a result of the medication! *raises a Baileys to you*

It's still twinging but it seems much better today, thanks - ta for the goodly vibes, hon. *g*

Ooh, Baileys - creamy!
