Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

It's stalled at the moment until i can afford paint, I'm undecided what colours still, I will look at bathrooms online and see. It seems the light is what is making it look orange more so that might ned to be looked at also.

There's ma 12month+ waiting list for mental health services, glad I'm not suicidal like although there is a crisis team if you do feel that way.

How much does it gallon of paint cost around there? Here in the US it can be anything between $22 and $55 per gallon. Depending of the bathroom size it may take you more than a gallon, besides considering the color you shall also consider getting maybe a gloss or semigloss paint as it would do better with the bathroom humidity.

12 months sounds like an awful amount of time

I have a question for @Barnfred 55 and @jazzy when you meet each other are you going to refer to one another by your real names or by your GOT’s usernames? I know many of your names but I’m hesitant to use them as I’m not sure if anyone is up for such revealing.

We dont really buy paint by the gallon. Its more like a small tin, a large tin, or a trade pot.

It is not, AT. I am borderline OCD so I can’t stand mess so always feel like to have everything nice and neat but that takes effort and time as much as gardening, I must be mad to want to do all these tasks. Tbh that’s one aspect that I miss from Colombia, there a middle class family can very much afford to have a cleaning lady working for them every day. Here in the US one has to be rich to afford such luxury.

While not treading into OCD territory I do like everything in it’s right place. Not talking sterile but just free from clutter if possible please.

Guilty confession, I do have a cleaner who comes in once a week. That breaks the back of the work then I take it from there ?

So here I am in Tesco car park in a summer dress and open toed sandals. And there's a thunderstorm with torrential rain. I'm not leaving this car until the rain stops! In other news, and very luckily I only realised before leaving the house that I have had my dress on inside out all day! FFS! Not safe to be allowed out on my own.

No worries, Ange, it happens to the best of us too lol

A while back while I was volunteering at my daughter’s school I was wearing a short skirt with short leggings under it and after going to the bathroom one of the skirt layers got tucked inside the shorts and I didn’t realize it and went out to the courtyard to play with the kids when I noticed all these lads checking me out and I felt so flattered, only to find out the real reason after my daughter asked me what was wrong with my skirt ?

Really. It doesn’t surprise me though, here is the US is all about going big. So how much there is usually in a tin?

That would be telling?

I have never been diagnosed with OCD but that’s my guess as I also like keeping things clean and neatly organized.

I forgive your for your sin ? I wish I could have such confession but our house is too small to merit a cleaner but maybe one day when I win the lottery ?

I doubt anyone but a professional painter has a clue. Chances are, it is measured in litres anyrate.

Anj used to have the same problem with her brown knickers?

Okay so time for me to rant. The US Supreme Court just overturned Roe vs Wade. It is a sad day in this country for women’s rights over their bodies. But the same SC ruled yesterday for more guns to be freely displayed in public. Really disgusted with the way this country’s policies are going.

Great question ...... In my mind I'm going to call Fred by his real name ( which I'm not telling you lot !) but I'm sure I'll have to check myself not to call him Fred.

I’m not a garden expert but when I saw the flower and leaves I knew it wasn’t a Clematis but also a rose. But glad Mrs. J came to the rescue and I would agree that you shall stick to digging holes and cutting branches ?? xxx
