I dont know how much paint you have, but as you like lines & pictures so much, plus a TV in the bedroom, then surely will to do the trick?

You need black out linings for those curtains and a couple of nice pillows on the bed too.

We have lived in our house for over 30 years and fitted so-called blackout linings to the curtains. But in summer our east-facing bedroom window still let in too much morning light.

A couple of years ago I fitted inexpensive blackout roller blinds behind the curtains - transformative!!

Wished I'd done it decades ago...

Evening,,, it’s all kicked off !!

bed arrived,, all sorted,, bedroom is well liveable now,, temp wardrobe will be fine for awhile!!
Builder rang me,, he said and I quote’ can you start next Monday? I can’t get building regs in till this Thursday’. Yes I said , I won’t hold me breath! Lol.

Still now I can concentrate on a bit of advertising or whatever, because I’m doing no more in the flat,, perfectly liveable now,,,

hope you had a good day! I did! Lol xxx

new tv!!

 

[TinaLes]

Well done Ian, hopefully you will soon never be in the position of having work delayed week to week from such an unreliable source, that relationship has failed before you even start, I know you feel the same, and I know how you will naturally be on guard when it comes to being paid on time.

Great to see you used your imagination once again in using the leftover paint pots to do a picture for the wall above the tele.
Really pleased you have settled in, and can get off to a good start now, good luck.

[PhilMary]

Quick, get some water. Pooh's honeyjar is on fire.

looking good, love the picture above the bed.

 

[ianthebuilder]

unfortunately not !! I did complain !! X

 

[TinaLes]

Warning: Ladies leave the room please, this is blokes stuff.
Have they gone yet Ian?, bet they haven't, are they listenin at the door?

I was just thinkin Ian,sod that POF website.
That bird that showed you round the flat, then did the paperwork, you know who I mean, was she a looker?I hope so, if not ignore the following, just put it out your mind, read a paper or somink, paint another wall.

When is she due round your place to do her first property inspection?,was it after the 1st month of tenure?, maybe it's soon?

Well I was thinkin, as us blokes do like, maybe get some Fizz on ice ready for her visit, she will hopefully be so blown away with excitement & encouragement when she sees the improvements you have made to the flat, all done in your first month!

Then,Tell her how grateful you are, and that she is such a star for giving you a great base to work from back here in the UK,.....you know the drill
That should hopefully give her that warm feeling of job satisfaction, reaffirming to her, that at last, there are still some great tenants that take pride in the place they live in, and are welcoming, thoughtful & generous.

You have now reached Base camp 1

Maybe get the photo album out now, whilst she sips her Fizz, and show her some great pics of you and your travels to exotic places, get her onside with the idea of living the dream, sun, sea & adventure.
Tell her about MH Fun and all the "fans" you have, all wishing you well.

You have now reached Base Camp 2.

When I mentioned earlier that she may be Blown Away, well it was two fold really,.....should you reach base camp 2, just make sure the bung is tightly secured in that air bed well in advance.
If something does explode, Tell her not to worry, as like you, its still under guarantee

Have Fun mate, hope that raised a smile or two.

[wigster]

Eww that sounds a bit ,ok i will say it , pervy . That bird as you call her is probably young enough to be Ians or my daughter . If it was meant as a joke fair enough but that much detail takes some unhealthy thoughts and planning.
If i upset anyone sorry , had to be said .

 

[ianthebuilder]

Good morning,,,

I slept like a baby in my new bed,, I do like this memory foam mattress, really firm and great for my back!!

well I’m off out to pick up my new polo shirts and hoodies for work this morning, hopefully they will look ok!

also I was called by the ‘ range’ yesterday evening, and my table and chairs are ready for collection, so I will pop in and pick them up! It’s aglass table, so I’m going to have to get a runner of some sort, so as not to scratch it,, and I want a big bowl,,, now I like a big bowl,, not for fruit or anything sensible, but to drop all my crap in when I get back,, receipts, keys, the usual crap that I carry about! And it’s nice when I get home to just sit on a firmer chair to eat, have a brew and chill for ten!! i don’t know where I’m going to put it yet, but I shall have to have a look, perhaps move a few things round!!

right, now I’ve had an idea,, Lolol. I have been burning scented candles since I’ve been here, I have bought them from the range, and my favourite is coconut,, it seems to be the strongest smell,, but only when I’m lucky enough to get one that seems to smell,, most don’t have the strength of aroma that I like!! So I looked on YouTube and I’m going to have a go at making a candle, or two!!
Now these will be proper builders candles!!
Like proper builders tea, or proper builders breakfast,, strong smelling and tuff looking!! Lolol. Proper builders candles,, now there’s a name for a range of products!! Lol.

if the aroma is directly correlated to the amount of smelliest you add then I shall just add more smelly !! Any advice on product girls, cause I know there’s a few of you that do crafts etc on here,, type of wax, wick, smelliest etc would be much appreciated,,, I’m hopeing to pick all up at the range today!!

so be quick!! Lolol.

Ok, so have a good morning and a great day,, chat later, xxxxxxx

You'll be getting a brush and comb set next!

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

You could use the Nestle approach for your Builders Candles, they stopped using it in 2012 after 10 years!
