Sticky-back Plastic; Bloody Stuff (Sally) - Sept 9th & 10th

Finished cleaning the tiles. Took ages to do but look fantastique. Transformed.

Did some sanding in the bedroom, filthy job, takes more time cleaning up than the actual work.

Remembered to put the recycling bin out. Yay!

Woke up to a dull wet Tuesday.

I noticed the bedroom windowsill is covered with sticky-back plastic. What is it with the guy who previously owned this place? He used a plethora of the stuff. I used to want a roll, a piece, any amount, of the stuff as a kid growing up and watching Blue Peter make things and using sticky-back plastic. Anyway, I digress, the bloody stuff is a nightmare to remove and I spent over an hour removing it from the bedroom sill. The tool of choice - a long handled wallpaper stripper and then the big boy (ult-tool)! Yet there is more of the bloody “stuff” throughout the house. If in doubt, can’t be bothered to sand the wood, want some interesting decor, use sticky back plastic. A delight for all the family.

Woodwork stripped, sanded, more time spent cleaning up the mess, then a good coat of Bin Zinser, excellent stuff.

I gave the kitchen tiles a quick polish. Really pleased with the result.

Dinner was in the slow cooker whilst I did all this.

One thing left on the to do list, IRON. What’s wrong with creased/wrinkly clothes?

I am cream crackered. I should, but don’t sleep like a baby. Although not many babies sleep. A silly saying by someone who has never experience a fractious child.
