Decorating

The hall was decorated about 2 and a half years ago. We'd moved in.... changed the stairs about 3 years after we moved in, then took another 2 years to fully strip the hall and left it another 2 years to decorate and the coffee colour was badly stained. The kids never hang their coats up because the hooks were too high.

So on Wednesday night at 5pm I announced we were repainting. By 6pm we were in B&Q. By 7.30pm the downstairs and the stairs were repainted. D had run out of paint. This morning we got more paint and finished it off. Then bought new coat hooks and have them up with the coats all on there. Our new flooring instead of carpet is in the hall awaiting being laid next week by DH. Just need to goback to B&Q and get paint and varnish to do the woodwork and then I think we may be finished.

Then in 3 weeks we'll paint our bedroom in the morning before we go to London.

Films....

Have seen a fair amount of films lately.

My Sisters Keeper was very sad but brilliantly done film.
Harry Potter 6 was very good but Murray disturbed me by needing the loo.
G Force was far better than anticipated and I was upset when Murray needed the loo again.
Aliens in The Attic was funny but had Murray sat on my knee.
The Proposal was really good and very funny in parts
The Ugly Truth was very funny and well worth the visit.
The Time Travellers Wife was a lovely tribute to the book and sad in places.
Adventureland was like Walle.. all the funny bits were in the trailer.
Julie and Julia was just fantastic, So funny.
