rarely

Twice I uttered a phrase I rarely use, especially with regards to DIY:
"that went better than I thought!"

I really dislike all the boring prep work that comes with decorating, and hadn't anticipated I'd be removing a piece of wall furniture that had 12 screws (and consequently 12 rawlplugs protruding and needing dealing with. I discovered accidently, that it was much easier to fiddle then hammer them in rather than remove them entirely. Developing skills, that's what I'm doing!!

Problem is, just like when I start cleaning, it opens my eyes to just how badly everything else is in need of doing. I don't feel I want to change anything particularly, but it all needs freshening up. We'll see. I need to stay focussed on the many tasks I already have in hand without getting carried away/under by all else that needs doing...
