that would be wonderful stuffed animals
why didnt i think of that
i know she will love it

now ive ordered a skip
lets get the furniture outside and innit
get the hard job over before it comes

and she will love the minimalistic look
more space for the kids toys
some times less says more
she might not sleep ever again
when she sees her new home

Mildred's on holiday isn't she?

**whistles innocently**

There's some old raggedy pieces of paper on here with lots of names on..... Honkinbottoms.

Perhaps they could go on the fire I've built on the back lawn........don't worry about the grass, we're growing some in the kitchen and hall stairs and landing carpets

her nephew phew
i think he must have right bad asthma
all that puffing and panting coming from Mildred's bedroom
well better let him rest
poor guy
when he is finished all the neighbours can have a fag

i just love this living carpet
we have created in the kitchen hall and stairs might
have one myself one day

how about a few dandelions to go in the grass carpet.....it brings the outside in.

JoyBoroAngel Report 14 Aug 2009 21:07

it sure does hun dandelion away
the green and the yellows spot on
we are so talented
they will all want us to do their homes to

now open a few of then bottles of vino
i dont drink but tonight i will make an exception

~~~Secret Red ^^ Squirrel~~~ **007 1/2** Report 14 Aug 2009 21:11

don't worry if you spill the red, it goes quite well with the brown and orange carpet......good choice don't you think?

There's a few tickets here for a holiday somewhere, it's making the place look a bit untidy....what do you think Joy? Do you think they are important?

and I keep tripping over these large suitcases with some old clothes in (presumably to go to the charity shop)...do you think we should ditch them and replace them with a few nylon holdalls from the market? They'd take up less room!

JoyBoroAngel

JoyBoroAngel Report 14 Aug 2009 21:15

just ditch them hun
nylons fine with me
probably her nephews luggage
anybody would think he was moving in

and Ive had an idea why dont we rent her house out
while she is away i know some eastern Europeans
looking for a place for a couple of weeks
they all have good jobs
shop lifters i think they said they were
and we could do with the cash she wont know will she

~~~Secret Red ^^ Squirrel~~~ **007 1/2** Report 14 Aug 2009 21:22

Renting the house out, now that's a good idea. I'm sure she'd be happy with our ingenuity.

Mildred is so thoughtful- she's left us some money to go towards the decorating costs. Strange thing is she's left dollars.....do you think she wants us to order it from America?

Bucking bronco for the sitting room instead of a sofa perhaps? Or can you think of anything better?

BTW - suitcases and tatty pieces of paper/tickets ditched as requested, Wow we get things done quickly around here. She'll be so pleased.

good idea Lesley
the kids will have hours of fun on that
beats one of them scruffy old rocking horses dunnit

***phew*** that was heavy work.....it's kind of Mildred to leave that credit card for us to book ourselves a luxury weekend at a spa hotel :) We need to relax after all of this hard work.

Now about her bedroom, it will have to go. How about one of those Indian beds with the nails instead of that Kingsize bed of hers? It's very exotic and she'll be the envy of all her neighbours. Any ideas about the rest of the decor?

we cant go in her bedroom
that lazy nephew with the asthma is still in there
better wait a good while yet or call an ambulance

i think one of them eastern Europeans
works in the casino
i heard him say he was a dealer

so we will have a couple of hours on Mildred's credit card there

so just a few grand we dont want to be greedy do we

Before we go to the casino, do you think we should have a party? After all, we have to celebrate the transformation. One could call it art.
