Satisfying shavings.... but it would be easier if the roof was level!

Maybe don't get me started on water based paint vs oil based...

So it seems that even though my job title is now Stores technician, you just can't take the DIY Diva out of the girl! One of my colleagues has just moved house, and has had new floors laid downstairs...

trying to write a blog post (because my life is so interesting that you can't possibly do without one) but having trouble uploading pics, which are always the best bit! So I will have another go tomorrow and see if I can work out what's changed. Give me a paintbrush or a saw any day!!

Hmm, not keen on this. Bit random.
Look out for some new piccies soon- other half just got a new camera and is planning a photo shoot!

New blog post - www.diydiva.biz/blog so you can see what I've been up to. Among other things, of course, can't fit my whole life on the blog. That'd be really sad.
Working for my mum was fine in the end. Endless coffee...

Grr, B&Q run out of miniline downpipe clips (for fixing drainpipe to the wall). Other builder's merchant, when I finally got there closed at ten to instead of 12, so I couldn't even go in and see if they had any!
Fortunately the customer's only had half a drainipe for about a year so is of the opinion that another week won't hurt!
Working for my Mum next week. Could be interesting.

Busy still. sorting out messes other people have left... like tiling the whole end of a bathroom: fab to cover pipes and cistern, but not great if the stop tap for the whole flat is also behind there and inaccessible! Doh! So there is now a little tiled "door" to allow access to the stop tap!
Any other Diva-ing you require, just let me know!

Left one job now, but still a civil servant (don't worry, not on strike!) Reduced my hours too, to give more time for Diva-ing!!

Busy still. and keep getting people asking for quotes. May have to give up one of my other jobs soon!

All in all, everything's good. So good I never have time to post on here!!!

Been busy working- painting doors and gates mostly. Fortunately the gates were easy to lift off their hinges and there was a handy car port to paint them under, as the weather's not been too good, to say the least.
There are pictures on my blog, as before- http://www.diydiva.biz/diy-diva-blog.html.
Hope you like.

I promised photos of what I've been up to, so...
