PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Nana d - you need it!!

Typical isn`t it, just when you think you are organised some nasty gremlin throws a spanner in the works. Good luck with it all Nana d....

Hope you have a comfy sofa!! Good luck!

Yes Lulu I have got a comfy sofa but I don't think I am going to have time to sit in it lol! Thanks Sheilar and Lincslass:)

Blimey! What a job...still, if you have a 'deadline' to meet, you will get it done somehow and if it hadn't been for that, you probably wouldn't have got around to it for ages, and then the problems would have been much worse...so....good for you! :)))

Good luck with the work...
Hoping it all goes according to plan :o)

Hi Karen you are most probably right OH say's he works better under pressure!!!!!!!!! Thanks TT. I will post a photo when the carpet is done and the units are up and hopefully that will be next weekend:)

i hope you get it sorted, it never rains but it pours, as they say.
if we all lived nearer we could all come and help!!

I will have a look when you post the completed job. If it looks OK I will invite you up here to do mine. I have a Bathroom to fit...I have had it for years stored in the front bedroom...along with the fitted kitchen that I don't like now anyway. Then I could actually get in and do the bedroom itself.....I have grown to love bare plaster walls.

poor nana she will be worn out!!!

have you seen the cupboards that stroller made pimpernel?

Yes a lot of work to do Nana D - please do not over panic though - it is what I did when my room was not far off this bad - it is surprising once the main part of the job is done it comes together quicker than you think - the longest part will probably be the cleaning up :))))

Chin up Nana - and do not stress :)))))))))))))))))

Good luck - you'll do it ;)))))

I meant a comfy place for lodger to sleep if needs be!!

Oh my word ! Nana d - it's even worse than this house lol
I do hope you can get everything done in time

Hi Lulu yes the spare room with the computer and office in is done(which we are sleeping in now) we did that in a panic too when my daughter finished with her fiance and had no where to live we have for the majority lived in that room we are doing now cos my son his wife and Livvy moved in for 6 months, children are like boomerangs they keep coming back! Thanks Paul and Hywel sure we will get there in the end just as long as the skirtings are topcoated and dried for the carpet to go down Friday I shall be happy:) Paul I am having a large glass of wine as I am doing this reply and funnily enough I am not panicking now lol! Thanks Sticki and Pimpernel will post results next weekend hopefully:) Sorry this has nothing to do with gardening just needed to share:(

That's good Nana ;))))

Sorry..What is that tool on top of the radiator? I have not got one of them.

Looks like a paper guillotine to me!!!

You`ll do it Nana, having a deadline gives the motivation all you need is a science/technical drawing degree to put the self assembly furniture together.lol. Have fun and don`t get stressed.

Got one of them Sheilar.....Never used.

Aw thanks everyone going to bed now room has all the floor filled in now nite nite x

GOod luck with that nana! :) I'd help if i was near you

Ah that's nice of you Pixi:)

Bit far away tho ;)

Hope you get it all finished in time before she comes to stay before emigrating.

Thanks Alex:)

This looks like a flat my friend rented when we were at art college!

Oh dear Stevie, really did you stay there long? Off to rub down the skirting all flooring is back in place air brick has been cemented in... and I have cleaned all the paint work with sugar soap OH said he was quietly confident on it being ready for carpet friday I on the other hand don't think we stand a hope in hell!

oh well just throw a couple of cushions at it, it'll look all right ; )

hahahaha that really made me laugh:) finished the rubbing down now, tomorrow morning before work gonna undercoat (this is just the skirting!) rub down the rest tomorrow OH is going to deal with the ceiling re paste and make good then I can paint that. Hopefully he will be able to spend more time on it tomorrow and even have most of thurs to do stuff.............lots of STUFF!

The very best of luck......have to say, been there.... so many times!! always worked out in the end though.

Thanks DD we are getting there and OH is off working on it all day today and I painted the ceiling last night and sized the walls before coming to work! Will post picture of bedroom tomorrow morning before I come to work and before the carpet and units arrived:)

Well done, I knew you would do it, look forward to the piccies.

You certainly a hard worker Nana, happy that things are getting together. Pity we all did not live close to each other.

I can remember when I first moved here 36 years ago. When friends needed work done we all use to pitch together to get the work done. Even had an electrician and gas fitter help. Use to be great and we were all happy with a cuppa tea or a pint and a sandwich .Use to have some very good mates in those days but unfortunately we all get old.

Best wishes

Tom

Thanks Tommy on the last stretch now I did the rest of the top coating yesterday OH has got to put up feature paper today and hopefully units so I can transfer stuff from other bedroom ready for our lodger to move in Tues she is bringing some of her stuff today:) Sounds good everyone pitching in and helping each other:)
