R to @merje_shaw: SBs bedroom is going to be teal. With mustard coloured lockers in it. I’m slightly hyperventilating at the thought, but I think it’ll be lovely. And if it’s not, I’ve already told him I’m not sodding painting over it 🤣

R to @MolloyLaurence: They’ll cherry pick pretty much anything at this point, so i don’t care to be honest. Let them eat themselves into a frenzy with their own ridiculousness

R to @profKayW: Yes I love the idea of painting the ceiling too. White ceiling with colourful walls always looks jarring to me. Will have to ask permission - I’m allowed to do walls but not alter any of the flooring (!) or garden (!) so will have to carefully scrutinise the ceiling politics…

R to @Tynegall: I’ve had these sofas for a good few years - with many pets and a particularly mucky football-in-all-weathers child - and they’re still in surprisingly good nick! A spray bottle of washing up liquid, salt, and very hot water, applied vigorously with a nail brush, works wonders!

R to @HelenRi56485811: I haven’t got your email - can you resend it? DM me your email address so I can add it as a contact, which should rescue it from being diverted to the spam box…

R to @queenofswords6: We never actually did the piano lessons in the end. I taught him myself from secondhand books, handwritten stickers on the keys, and playing by ear. But don’t let a few pesky facts get in the way of your relentless hate campaign, will you.

R to @dinafragola: I’m autistic and work better with visual recall. I guess that might have something to do with it.

R to @kettlenic: I haven’t watched it. Keep meaning to, but not had time. Anyway, this photo is a good few years old now.

Thanks all for your input yesterday on colours for my new lounge/bedroom. Decided to swap the curtains for the less-warm but more-beautiful ones, so a pale mizzley green on the walls (and hopefully ceiling 🙏) will work beautifully 🥹

R to @BootstrapCook: Going to try to use the pieces of my existing bookcases to build floor-to-ceiling units, and then cover the joins with strips of wood 🪵 to get as much bookcase-space in as possible… Resisting thinking about painting them to match the wall, because it’ll be an arse of a job, BUT

R to @emmaeveritt_art: I’m thinking about dyeing (!) the pink ones navy and hanging them behind the Strawberry Thief ones 🥰 but if that won’t work (need to look at the fabric composition!) then I might tack them together to line them 😊
