yay, that one is all done—photo is a bit blurry and the bed is unmade and from the pic I see I need to straighten a couple, but I’m quite pleased with the result (thanks Abs!)
now for the other walls…

How I did it
It made me
over the moon 
How I did it: I called ember!Supplies I had:wallpaperpacket of pastebucketSupplies I should have had, that ember brought:pasting tablepaste brushwallpaper brushstringscissorsscraperThe closet off my lounge was manky, crumbling, unusable. There were quite a few rolls of the lounge wallpaper left in the cupboard, so I wouldn't have to pay anything for paper.

It is cooler today (yay) with a nice breeze, so I decided to wash the lounge blanket and hang it outside to dry.
I saw that the wind had bunched up the blanket, so I was going to go outside and fix it but got distracted by the phone call.
I just put on my flip-flops and happened to glance out the window and see that someone else had hung their laundry out to dry, and when they did they straightened out my blanket. Aw, that’s so nice!

I went to Job Centre yesterday and got the claim going, and I have an appointment with the disability advisor on the 14th. They are also going to get me an appointment with regards to possible retraining. I’m taking anything they throw at me right now, hoping to maintain a postive momentum.
Couple of jobs applied for, which shows I really need to tweak my CV – a task for later today. This afternoon I have my scan at the hospital to (hopefully) rule out gallbladder problems, etc and then I’ll give myself the weekend off to relax before jumping in again on Monday.
