When Father papered the parlour
You couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there!
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
The children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family
So 'stuck up' before.

Christina you should get together with Angie and Linda's dad lol

i was papering once and my kitten followed me up to ladder i went to throw her to the floor out of the way and she landed in bucket of paste

Angie !!

It seems that DIY and your goodself may not be best friends.

But, to your great advantage, I just happened to be passing by.

Why not entrust the papering of your room to me next time ?

I have first call on the off cuts from the last Lord Chancellor's fancies and I can offer you an expert response to your desire for style and sophistication, at the most agreeable cost.

No need to worry about being knee deep in paste.

For I and my junior associate pride ourselves in the organised and tidy way in which we address each assignment.

I guarantee that at the end of each day of our work you will not be needing to don wellie boots to make your way to bed. For if our day's work should not be finished to our exacting standards then you can rely upon our guiding hands to ensure you safely to your peaceful slumbers.

For an all in one price I can quote you for wallpapering, dog/cat proof painted woodwork, soundproofing for whatever unsocial sounds be your fancy, lighting to suit your everchanging whims, and a selection of tasteless portraits from McFly to George Clooney.

Please call upon me soonest.

Mick

Why, do you want to hire me Linda?

I'm free everyday.................................

oh dear do you live in portsmouth?

Karen my floor is now sparkly clean!!

Oh poor little dog......my cat once walked all over my newly painted window ledge-cute little paw prints every where!

pmsl, sorry but that is so funny, at least you have a very clean floor now if that's any compensation.

And Lindsey your dad sounds as bad as mine, lol

Maz I have special designer painting outfits,tastefully decorated in mutli coloured tones,cost a fortune to buy y'know,oh and I usually have a pair of slippers to match lol

Hi Lindsey-I know someone who did a similar trick to paint an artex ceiling-he rigged up like a sprinkler sytsem and redecorated the ceiling,walls,windows door etc..........
Angiexx

Shame you didnt have a camera, would have made a lovely you,ve been framed slot. !!
My dad decided to stir paint by putting his electric drill into the bucket and redecorated the entire room and himself in 30 seconds, boy did we laugh !!

and got into a right mess even before I put any paper on the wall.
I was mixing up the paste in a bucket and lifted it off the side to take up stairs when whoosh the paste fell out the bottom of the bucket (it had a crack in it that I hadnt noticed)and the paste splattered all over me,the kitchen floor,the cupboards,fridge etc.
Well have you ever tried to clear paste up while standing in it............very dangerous lol.I was slipping and sliding all over the place ,even did the splits -never done them before- at the same time as trying to wipe up the bloomin paste that decided to start thickening on my floor-God it took me almost an hour and a million gallons of water to get rid of it all.Left in my bucket were a few lumpy bits of paste!!!!!!!

So anyone want to hire me,rates very cheap and can guarantee a good floor show-literally
