prep completed!!

Im quite pleased with myself for getting the work I set out for myself all done by midday today. Yey!
It was a sale day at the local DIY store so I went along and picked up the last one of the ceiling lights I liked, some white sockets and a light switch to replace the hideously old, cream and HUGE ones that stick out in the middle of the walls (yes, they really do) and some wallpaper. I have lots of small pieces to fit around the window etc but decided it is best to be prepared with a fresh roll so as not to waste precious time tomorrow having to go out for it. I found some colour swatches too - I was pretty certain they would match my beloved curtains - and they do exactly, so I think I am just going to go ahead and hang them and go plain with the bedlinen etc and wait til we find the right one. I suppose I am more or less looking for a large throw or a patchwork quilt thing - it keeps the warmth in during the winter and we need that in this house!! I have white bedlinen already which can do for the time being, not such a worry really. But where to find nice attractive curtain rods?!! I have not taken to any in the store this morning - something not quite right with any of them to my eyes, but I expect in the end I will have to compromise once again.
The pink rad is still bothering me. It is just not white enough. More spraying is called for and if that fails then perhaps something to cover the radiator up would make sense...............
And that is where you find me now. Done and dusted, free from knee-ache and sitting comfortably in the snug considering what to do next . . . . . .
