Wallpaper and Other Animals

Bloody hell this has been a long time coming!

Apparently the last few weeks have seen me lose my ability to write coherently - or think coherently if we're being realistic - so a lot of stuff has happened.

Tongue piercing is fine, settled down nicely and has now been changed for a shorter bar with a little shiny thing on top, which is very nice. It's green - Scholar's favourite colour - as he paid for it. Very pretty. Also I worried that the purple gem would look like a weird boil or something >.>

However, what I have mostly been doing is stripping lots and lots and lots of wallpaper.

Keys to new house were handed over a week last Monday, and since then we have filled I think seven large binbags with wallpaper stripped off the walls. This is the house that the demon wallpaperer built. Every conceivable surface is wallpapered. I would be surprised if there wasn't more wallpaper underneath the artex or the plaster! On the plus side the garden is huge and lovely and has a fox which visits it - in daylight! I like having wildlife come to visit =)

We have decided on cream and dark blue in the bedroom (very nautical!) and cream with sage green in the study (yep, we have a study. This is also known as the spare bedroom but in reality is mostly there to have computers in it!) and more cream and a gorgeous plummy coloured wallpaper in the front room. All this, of course, is subject to my landlady (i.e. the S.O.'s mum) deciding it's not neutral enough. But I refuse to live in a house which is all bloody beige! It's not happening.

They come up to judge us tomorrow: time will tell...
