Just a a post to let you know of the reaction of the first ( and last) client after my advemtures in decorating.

Called down to mums to see if she liked the results. Found her in tears and I was in a panic . After she had calmed down and ashured me she had not been mugged or robbed I found out the reason.

Apparantley she thought I was only doing the walls and hadnt expected all the gloss work doing. So the tears were of joy , god I could kill her for scaring me .

The result is one very happy mum and for a moment my aches and pains seem to fade...for a while anyway.

Just wish I had realised that it was only the walls that needed doing. Ah well its done now and I have got a happy mum as well.

The moral...I suppose there is one but for the life of me I cant think of one .

Pax.

I agree with MXman. I used to do all my mum's decorating ; she wasn't a lovey-dovey type, so it was a way of showing my love & gratitude for all she'd done for me without embarrassing her !

Good work Pax !! xx

Get fatigued as well. I have to do things in short spells plus get physically tired also. Add the odd physical problems also and it means things take a lot longer.

Things take extra planning plus allowing for recovery time.
