Twenty days until Christmas. And for the first time in years I haven't done all my Christmas shopping.
The house is taking over everything. Every spare minute. We're really close to completing the attic bedroom / dressing room / office. Which is good as we have four guests staying for the festivities. As we're using Farrow and Ball paint in the bedroom we decided to use their undercoat. The first tin we opened had the consistency of cottage cheese. I opened the second (which looked like paint should) and used that one while Stu ploughed on painting the ceiling with gloop. Before we bought this house I hadn't lifted a paintbrush in a long time - not since I met Stu. Why would I? He's super speedy and super neat. But this house is too much for one person to decorate alone. So I have rediscovered my painting mojo. And I'm enjoying it too. In other Christmas-prep news:
