Decorating Day 5

Well it may not look like much but we are almost finished with the living room. We have put the first coat of pale green on the walls, it only needs a very thin second coat now. I've been able to fill the hole under the window now that I've had the council's assurance that the loose bolt in it is not in use and therefore I don't have to worry that the wall will fall off or anything like that!!! I'd been worried about that and it was annoying that I was having to paint around it but I've half filled it now and when that's dried I can fill it the rest of the way and then paint it. The bedroom is ready for painting now and when my tall friend is next available I've been given the go-ahead by the council to rip the old falling out whatever-it-is out of the top of the bedroom wall cupboard. I hope that won't be too messy. It's apparently just part of an old boiler which has since been changed and the wall between the cupboard and the immersion heater has been filled in but for some reason the bit in the cupboard never got taken out. When the council man was round he pushed it a bit and it was really loose so it looks like it shouldn't be a problem. But as it's so high up I think I'll ask my friend to do it, I can't reach that high! And there may be spiders. Yuck.

The hall's almost ready for painting too but it still needs a bit of a sand, still it's nothing that would take very long. The floors need a clean but as long as I don't mind living in one room while doing up the rest of the flat I should be able to move in soon. I would have it done by now but I keep having to stop for homework! I know it's also very important but it's very frustrating! Still I only have this week and next week left for actual college then I'm off to do my work placement in July.
