James is keen for us to do a bit of redecorating. He rightly points out that several rooms, particularly the lounge and the hall, are in dire need of a new look or at least a freshen up. I don't really like decorating. I find it very difficult to make decisions about it in the first place and then when it actually takes place it's nothing but hassle. Neither James nor I are capable of hanging wallpaper. James can paint with gloss paint, but that is too hazardous for me, I don't have the smooth touch so all I can do is sand down and then emulsion walls which is very boring. Over the years as we have become "time poor" and not quite so "money poor" we tend to pay somebody to do our papering and painting because a professional can do it so much better and quicker than we can. But it's still a hassle to arrange it all. So I have been ignoring the whole re-decorating idea for about a year now.
The trouble is that James has realised this and has now banned me from booking any holidays until I redecorate at least two rooms! Today I asked him to book some flights to France at Easter and he cunningly replied "Get the lounge decorated first!" So there was nothing else for it - I have contacted an interior designer and we are meeting next week. Let the redecorating commence!
