Happy Birthday to Pam xxxx
Decided to write today while watching paint dry - not paint actually, wax.
It's my turn to be on my knees in the bedroom today and I'm waxing the floor. So far I've managed to get three coats on half of the floor and two coats on another quarter. The house stinks of paraffin so I'm quite determined to get it all finished today and try to clear the air.

Decided to write today while watching paint dry - not paint actually, wax.
It's my turn to be on my knees in the bedroom today and I'm waxing the floor. So far I've managed to get three coats on half of the floor and two coats on another quarter. The house stinks of paraffin so I'm quite determined to get it all finished today and try to clear the air.
The air won't be clear for very long because Jon will be undercoating and glossing tomorrow which will be just as smelly.I never found a solution to the awful headaches I get from paint fumes. We open the windows as much as we can to let them out but I still always end up with a mega 48 hour migraine-type headache. We've even tried the so-called 'odourless' paints. I don't know who decides they are odourless but I think it must be someone with no sense of smell at all!
Wouldn't it be more pleasant if 'they' came up with pleasantly scented paint and other DIY products? I can just imagine it. The floor would smell of freshly mown grass while I'm waxing it, and the walls could smell of roses and stocks.
Do you get the feeling I'm looking forward to the summer?

It will all be worth the effort, the headache and the wear and tear upon your knees, because it is already looking fantastic!
PS - Suddenly, I can leave a comment from my Firefox browser - the format seems to have changed so that the window now shows up very nicely.
Thanks, Susie.
Painting has started this morning (Tuesday), I took the opportunity to go shopping, but I won't escape the gloss smell tonight - we'll have to sleep in that room for now :-(
