I'd consider using G+ more but everyone I know who uses it is also on here, and everyone else I want to keep in touch with uses Facebook. :/

Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

Takes an age doesn't it? I like DIY, but I don't like laborious jobs like painting edging and sanding 'specially but hand. I enjoy using power tools though and had a lot of fun cutting, fitting and planing all the doors at our old place.

Tedious, mind numbing and crap are three things that come to mind. The painting is a bit better than the preparation especially with totally shitty walls like this house has. Taken an age to get them smooth enough to paint.

I think I'm /finally/ ready to paint the room! Been 4 evenings of sanding and filling and more sanding and more filling. At least the first two nights were slightly helped by the consumption of wine. Now I have none apart from a small amount at the bottom of a bottle which is probably full of dust now :(

Well after all that sanding the paint I used has left a terrible finish in places, bubbled on some of the filler and pulled filler off in other places. Dulux Once! Crap! Only because the colour we wanted was only available in Once or I would have used the normal stuff. Pffff.

Got any pictures?

I decorated our living room the other week and I painted the chimney breast a different feature wall type colour. We found a really nice blue in the Graham and Brown paints. Good colours, but shite product. Even after mixing it was very very watery and started emulsifying as I was putting it on. The cutting in dried a totally different shade to the main bit, even with the same amount of coats on. I think I did 6 coats in total and they still looked different. In the end we found a similar colour in Dulux and used that and it covered it all in one coat. That's the only time I've ever needed one coat of anything, even the 'one coat' stuff.

It doesn't actually look so bad today. Not great in places especially one section where it looks like bobbly washed too many times clothes. Never had s problem with Dulux before but the Once stuff doesn't get good reviews. Probably just leave it though as it looks fine from a distance.

How much of a distance are we talking about, do you have to be over the street peering in through the nets so it doesn't look too bad?

I think probably best to go to the next town, squint your eyes and look at it through a welder's visor.

FYI, Tiny Tiny RSS Reader is a pretty good replacement for Google Reader.  I have it running on my server and would be willing to let a few people use it if they'd like.  I still have to figure out the auto update script for it, but I have been using it and it's better than most other replacements I've seen.  Plus I'll have a say in when it gets discontinued!

The mobile version is shit. If they made it more like the desktop one, I'd be in.
