"Is the lounge finished yet?" Says...everyone. Erm. Nope. When you have to remove wood chip wallpaper, build a window seat, strip all woodwork, skim all walls, repair knackered coving, strip the floors...and finally clean up an entire fireplace before you get round to putting a paintbrush in your hand - it takes a while. Today is stripping the floor day. Which of course means dust. In every orifice. I'm in charge of rotary sander. Stu is using the belt. We are not spending money hiring a big stripper. (Lots of potential innuendos). My interior design stress-levels are peaking at light fitting. We have a colour scheme. We always had a colour in mind. But the exact format took me to near breaking point in B and Q as I tried to work out just how much of the paint I would need in matt emulsion and how much in eggshell. But I'm over that now. I'm also pissed off with Ikea for changing the colours of replacement covers for our sofa. How very dare they. I am now restricted to shitty stripes, blue and a natural shade of something crap. I could, of course, spend an absolute fortune on an alternate site that also does covers for all Ikea sofa ranges. But that's not happening. So..back to the lighting. The many options that we possibly, maybe like.... One of the above is a red herring. I'll leave you to decide.
So as I am supposed to be in the office on a client call (which I have just realised is tomorrow - not today) I better look lively and go grab that orbital.
