That pink is so PINK O:!
So, I bought the wrong shade of paint. Bit of a cock-up on the decorating front*. We were in a hurry, I was being harassed* and I gave the good lady of B&Q the wrong colour card so now I've wasted £18 and two hours of my life painting my kitchen like Barbie's boudouir. ::heaves a heavy and heartfelt sigh:: If anyone out there needs 2 litres of Dulux Thai Dream #5, you know where to come.
So in a moment, we have to drive back to bloody B&Q for the correct colour, a nice (I hope) warm orangey, terracottery not too pink, pink. Might as well get the green for the stairs while we're there, I suppose. I can undercoat the stairs when we get back so the day isn't entirely wasted but...
::sighs again::.
I did get to listen to the most excellent Afternoon Play whilst defacing my kitchen; The Last Days of Grace by Nick Warburton.
Easter Monday 1908 sees snow on the ground as WG Grace contemplates another day in his long cricketing career. Arriving at the Oval, the ageing icon cannot bear to sit in the clubhouse to meet the usual people. Instead, he trudges out into the cold to face a different type of questioning. It'll be on Listen Again for a week if anyone's up for 60 minutes of spanking radio drama.
Anyway, tea's all drunk - back to B&Q and the painting I suppose. See you all at supper time. ::waves::
*Ooh missus! Two seventies sitcom references in the one post! A virtual Toblerone to the first to tell me which they are!

You win at the seventies!

Oh dear lord, you're going to be the only person I know to get a season ticket to B&Q.
::pets gently::
If only I had shares in the place.
New paint purchased. I've done a bit but can't do much owing to all the sugar-pink still being wet ::sigh:: It'll dry darker, I kept telling myself as I was painting it on and all the while the voices were saying 'this is wrong, so wrong...'
Hey ho. Such things are sent and etc. I should get me a B&Q icon.

Never really thought about before and after pix tbh.
Putting work in because it needs it! Really - we had no ideas the place had got so manky till we started working on it. Luckily it's only a tiny house an we're not far from the end now. I'll certainly do some pix when it's all done.

You have my sympathies...
Yeah.
We'll see how it looks when it dries. (o:
You have my sympathies...
::gasps:: Thank you.
