Did not do any yesterday but did a low panel today. I am thinking that I have the Orthapaedic clinic in a couple of weeks, so best if I am not fit as a flea otherwise they do not understand my fluctuations. It always helps on here when people post because you know they understand. Today an elderly lady asked me to reach one thing from the top shelf and I had to say I couldn't. Definitely need a t- shirt printing up.

    Ah, decorating. That has gone out of the window along with a few other things I used to enjoy. No matter, good for you for getting on with it, pace yourself, rest often and I hope you are able to finish the project. DD

    Sorry for starting a new thread, I thought I was on the original one until I came to post it.

    Go Lola, the Dulux dog is by your side!
    I think my t-shirt would say 'I may look young but I have the x-rays of a 90 year old'!
    :lol:

    Have done another panel. Can think of lots of slogans for t-shirts. 'if it is above eye height or behind me, it doesn't exist'.

    Today I was wondering I should stick to half the room. it's much harder than I expected. :lol:

    Do a panel a week or something, there is no hurry and it can take as long as you need, or do half a room. I have stairs that are still bare wood and need finishing stripping...three years after a rather energetic session where I decided to take up carpets and remove 100 years of paint. I kind of like the look now, I'm sure visitors think I live in a thread bare existence but the ones who know me understand.
