Featured Shopping - I Wants It !!

  1. Ooo such joy! I think Tope on the walls with Wild Mushroom as an accent colour on the skirting boards with perhaps Zanzibar on the feature wall... what do you think dear? Fairy, Fairy are you awake.... :zzz:

    One piece of advice I heard years ago was decide on the colour(s) and go one or two shades lighter depending on the depth of the original selection(s) garishness. Saves you having to do it all over again in 6 months time.
     
  2. Top choice... yeah fantastic pieces of kit even now. Am I right in thinking only half a dozen or so were ever made?
     
  3. I'm so glad I live on my own :D

  6. Help your knees by painting the boards before final fit.

  8. Our sofas covered in them. The first thing I do is lob them all to the end I’m not sitting. Fekkin (curtain matching) nuisances!

  11. I just had a flashback to those early days of shagging as a youth. Prior to violating the poor girl, having to clear her bed of bloody cushions and cuddly toys. All this as her parents watched The Price is Right downstairs....:D

  12. About 10 years ago in one of my periodic phases of rampant philandering I had a moment of clarity which caused me to reassess my louche lifestyle when one Saturday night when I was in flagrante delicto with a young lady, there was a TV in the same room with the sound turned down and the actor John Nettles was on screen, but I was so jaded, disenchanted and disengaged from the whole experience that all I could think of was “Is that Bergerac or is it Midsomer Murders?” :laughing:

  13. I have often engaged in various mental trickeries to delay that final moment of issuing forth, but never that one, top tip...:upyeah:

  14. Fuck no. I’ll be able to whinge about my knees for the rest of my downtime. It’ll get me out of all kinds of other shite round the house.

    And it’s not so bad with those B&Q knee pads….

  16. Sounds like a Farrow and Ball colour.
     
  17. I believe so.
     
  18. Taking money off gullible people since forever.

    Tell Crown Paints what colour you want and they’ll do you an exact match for a third of the price!

  19. You say that however under strict orders from my wife I’ve just redecorated our lounge, which isn’t a small room by any stretch of the imagination.
    Where as I would have normally allowed for approximately 10 litres of Johnstones mixed emulsion allowing for three coats, I managed with two coats from a 2.5 litre tin of Farrow & Ball
    Cost effective in this case.
     
  20. My partner does she takes in a colour sample which gets matched.
