Wallpaper stripping definitely takes longer than you'd think. Yesterday I stripped for 3 solid hours, and still haven't finished the wall I was working on. As an ickle person it's particularly tiring doing the high up bits - give me the sloping corner of our loft conversion to strip any day!!

I've started to realise recently that I really am 'growing up'. I've passed the point where the most important things are going out/having fun etc... and now the main interests in my life are DIY, kitchens, bathrooms, paint colours, weddings, toby and sammie!

... and the wonderful thing is that I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
