Night Night Ann <3 :-D :-D <3

Not interested in Vera, yep they are repeats..Frank Gardner is on at the moment :-D

Am going to make a brew and look for some new books on Amazon :-D :-D

Catch you tomorrow sometime :-D :-D <3 <3

Wilko's paint is supposed to be good!

Are the WDYTYA programmes repeats?

J is watching footy (Northern Ireland against someone) but taping Vera.
It wasn't bad last week. I don't usually watch it, cos I found her doddery old lady type character irritating. But once I got over that, it wasn't so bad. :-D

Oooo there are two episodes of WDYTYA on 19 :-)

The TV is dire tonight :-(

I tried their emulsion...yuk it was awful..twice the work to get a nice finish..so it put me orf :-0 :-0

Well it must be the painter then...shall I sharpen me dagger and post it to you :-D :-D

I actually prefer them. I used a B&Q lovely glossy red in Grandson 1's room and blue for his cupboards, for his Spider-man theme. It was very good.

I don't like Dulux much. The Great Mills (later Focus) did a good one.

The woodwork in the whole house needs to be done.

Oooooer...it's important to follow the instructions..when using gloss...or it can turn out a bit of a disaster...I hate glossing :-( :-(

If you have only got a small area Jem..it's well worth splashing out on a better paint product than B&Q own brand....because sometimes the cheaper ones are harder to work with :-(

Well, there you go! :-0 :-D :-D :-D

This is the B&Q Colours one

Hate the finish of it anyway! It's powdery like matt emulsion :-(

I had to throw away tins of gloss cos they had been in the shed unopened for so long that they were rock hard! ... and now he's moaning about having wasted his money :-| :-D :-D

Did he read the instructions


When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously decorated with a conventional solvent- based paint, very thorough surface preparation will be necessary. STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. Apply 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat as required, followed by 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss. :-( :-(

Night Fly <3 <3

Night Night Fly <3

He sanded, but not undercoat. The quick dry gloss will have to be the undercoat methinks :-0

Night Ann <3 :-D

Night Jem <3 :-D

Get down there Fly and show him how it's done :-D

Oooeeerrrrr Jem :-0 hope it can be sorted :-)

Did he undercoat and sand first :-)

Fly :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D!

The woodwork, radiators and door. I hate it, it is chalky and not at all shiny and slinky like proper gloss, and it has not covered everything properly:-( :-( :-(

You are crackers Jem :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Quick dry gloss for where

Yes, it was <3

J has been actually very good, sorting all decorators mess as best he could.

But now I've quarrelled with him cos he's been painting with "Quick Dry Gloss" which he bought by mistake after me telling him not to get that one! :-0 :-0 :-0

When I told him what he'd done ... it did not go down too well! :-( :-( :-(
