Have you got the week off work or doing all this around that as well?
no time off, working all week too.
And I thought I had a lot to do.
Got the keys to our new place today :)
wicked! well if it needs anything done to it, ive got the tools! when are you moving out?
WOW! That's a whole lot of work, well done getting stuck into it after working all day too!
We are moving Sat 17th.
No need for any wallpaper removal at our place, only painting 1 room as it is purple :{
Other than needing to buy a lot of furniture and appliances, it's good to go!
