Know the feeling ha ha. We want to freshen the sitting room up so that involves getting a new colour paint for the walls, white for the ceiling and 3 rolls of wallpaper for a "feature" which will all have to be done by yours truly and the wife purchased new cushions for the couch as they will match her vision for what the room will look like 😄

Cushions and candles, the OH would have them everywhere 😂

Don't envy the wallpapering bit. We did that for a feature wall in the living room, the wall in question being the one with the fireplace, given the pattern it was an absolute nightmare to get right... swore I will never use wallpaper ever again.

I hear ya, only good thing about the wallpaper job in our sitting room is its the walls either side of the chimney breast so just two straight sections of walls, when the wife suggested wallpapering the breast itself a few years ago I told her no way, far too hard to get right.

She's already suggesting after I get the sitting room done that I paint the hall, stairs and landing, one of the kids rooms and the downstairs toilet. Oh and new carpet on the stairs as well, she knows my weakness too, she always adds the line "the house will look great for Christmas"

If you have straight wall then you'r a luck man!

Sounds exactly like my OH, always throws in something about Christmas to seal the deal, as such 😂

Reasons to be cheerful:

Still don't have a job but the schools are much more interested in me subbing as an SNA this year. Bit more income always helps.

Pendants are selling well, getting nice reviews. Not much money in it but nice to know they make people happy.

Our one year old is consistently sleeping through the night.

Might get a night to ourselves soon!

This time tomorrow, I will be touching down in a sunny climate for the first time in three years 🛩️⛱️ Looking forward to three nights of uninterrupted sleep & a much needed break from reality 😀

Had a tooth removed Wednesday which led to an infection in my mouth. Needless to say I've never experienced pain like this. Coming into this forum and listening to some playlists has helped greatly. So much being ticked off and the season is so close!!!

remember getting dry socket after a surgical extraction a few years back... the pain was unbelievable, so you have my sympathy!

Its the bank holiday weekend and I'm on leave for the rest of next week... longest break I've had since ast Christmas and boy am I looking forward to it, work has been incredibly stressful this year & has only ramped up recently, so the break will do me good.

Enjoy the break, I feel your pain, haven't had a week off since last December. Just having long weekends every now and then to use up my holidays.

Will be taking a full two weeks plus one bank holiday for Christmas this year, haven't done that in years either.

My family and I (adult kids) are going to Portugal for Christmas week. How about that for a reason? Can't wait.
