Well at last I have finished DECORATING THE SCULLERY!! - It looks clean and light and lovely, Davis painted the last coat on the ceiling before work, and I have fitted the new vinyl flooring this afternoon, (I shall put a photo on when the digital camera returns home!) The only problem I had was because I decided to shift some furniture around ( Read more... )

Well here we are over a week later and I finally have the first full coat of paint on the scullery walls, I have a bit of pressure on now as Davis's brother, Sticky, and father are coming on Friday for the week-end (first visit since we have been here) I also have a school friend from London staying on Saturday as we are having a housewarming/BBQ, ( Read more... )
