Love is....

...the man in your life telling you that you can buy another cupboard because the one you bought is a pile of crap!!!

I hate my cupboard....it has been resanded, and it has had 2 coats of emulsion and looks better than it did before but the paint is just soaking in or something and it just looks dirty..starting to think i bought a load of rubbish!!!

Ok Plan C...3rd coat will be eggshell - I'm thinking F&B Lulworth Blue (I've been to Lulworth and don't see the relevance of blue...perhaps someone can enlighten me!!) will try the water based eggshell methinks.

Plan D is landfill!! Not even freecycle...I wouldn't want to offload it on some unsuspecting soul!!

Mr Dolly would live in a very tidy, minimalistic, furnished like a page in the Next catalogue kinda home without me in his life, he humours me and is learning to love the treasures I bring back to our home....so I know he must really love me not to say 'I told you your cupboard was shite!!!'

So bored with this cupboard - more posts soon, on interesting things like.... how many stools can you fit in a renault scenic!!!!

I'm sure a lot of you out there are familiar with the place I am going to this evening...It looks like this.....

Now the baby is stuffed full of 2 boobs worth of milk and down for (hopefully) the next 7 or so hours I can get going!! Oh hold me back - I can hardly wait!!!
I could have tackled it today but instead I went to collect this that I won on ebay

It needs a bit(!!) of a sand and wax but will make a great desk/sewing table in my soon (i hope!) to be finished work/guest room! For the princely sum of £4.99!!

The number of outstanding projects here chez dolly is reaching double figures - I have been asked to not buy any more furniture. I said of course, but luckily I had already collected this:

And had already won this (so of course I have to pick it up!!!)

I'm hoping that doing a kinda online diary will push me to stop procrastinating and mean some things actually get finished...watch this space!!
