lapal_fan Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 So we ordered a new sofa 3 weeks ago and we found out it comes today a few days ago. So on Sunday I put all the pieces of our large L shaped sofa in the garage, and plastic wrapped it all so it's in good knick. Then as we sat on our dining room seats in the living room (new house as of July), we decided it would be as good idea to paint the living room whilst it was largely empty for a couple of days. so I shoot to B&Q at 2pm on Sunday, get 4 samples and put them on the wall. We await for them to dry for 30 mins, choose and by 3, I'm back at B&Q to buy a few tubs. Sunday night 7 - 10 we paint. Her the edges, me the walls with a roller. Monday night 7-10, second coat. Tuesday, wife has operation on her longstanding knee problem. I drop her off at 7.30am, drop kid off at nursery, go back home to work for a few hours before I head back to hospital at 3pm to pick her up (she went under general). Get back very slowly because knee surgery, put her in bed because groggy. Work a few more hours. Nanny drops kid off at my house. Today, wake up, go down and move everything out of the living room so there can be no excuses of delivery men (inc putting the patio door key in for them), feed kid, dress kid, go out of way to take kid to nursery, drive to work, which takes ages because of traffic. Get mail from another order of TV bracket that it's being delivered today, and order 2 floating cabinets to go around our TV. At lunch I have to get petrol (ran out of time this morning), then pop to supermarket to pick up nice new clothes for kids photographs at nursery tomorrow. I have a headache. I'm tired and grumpy and I hate it! Come on weekend, show your face so I can go to the pub with paddywhack for a few drinks At least, hopefully, by the end of the week I'll have a nice place to park my arse. and the wife's leg should be well on the mend by Friday. Boring as **** post, but nice to get it off your chest. Thanks VT 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted November 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2016 There's a cheap, crappy, old pool table in our break room at work that I haven't seen anyone use for at least 18 months. I was just in there on my own so I moved it about 1cm toward the kitchen area. I'm going to do it everyday if I can, see how close I can get before anyone notices. I suspect it'll be when you can't open the fridge anymore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Here's my go alas I erased my elephant masterpiece by mistake , I'd made his trunk look wide and wanted to erase it and deleted the whole thing in case you're wondering , the anvil I was trying to write Road runner and then draw him but 20 secs isn't a lot of time , unless you've got Taylor Swift naked in your bed room Edited November 17, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It's quite cool, but...it gives you the thing it's wants you to draw and then it guesses what you're drawing. It should get it 100% of the time! Plus, I suspect there's only about 200 things. /cynical me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
