So today could have been better/worse. . Was ok.. went to town for asian supermarket supplies but met a buddy and went for lunch. Had asian tapas and a coconut smoothie. It was yuuummm. We shared.. Chicken dumplings, duck salad, chicken satay, salt n pepper prawns annnnd duck samosa. Sooo nice!

Then came home and made more asian foods for tea! Tried malaysian laksa lemak or curry mee as its called. Was pretty darn special! And we had some giant milkybar buttons and vice versas. So wasn't brilliant but still not all bad!

Tomorrow slow roast pork and a red day for me I think! Xx

[thumbelloulou]

Oh no munchies are bad!! Do not worry though! You're all focussed Hun I am loving 5:2 for that reason as its just given me a different direction and can be a bit cheeky. Cos the fast is only a day I've been able to have cheeky things on the other days xxx

Thumbelloulou - to be honest I'd just strip and revarnish the whole thing.
It looks like a nice bit of real wood - maybe elm or oak - so painting it might make it look a bit odd.

Totally agree! Now it's sort of in situ I'm loving the wood - it definitely needs freshening up but I'm definitely thinking more on the lines of enhancing it.. I have other pieces in the house that have to be painted, but I think I love it's natural solid charm it'll taker a whole, as I have so much else going on at home and I like to live with stuff before I do anything with them! I think may just Danish oil it after sanding.. But watch this space x

Bought a mega console table this morning sorta chunky farmhouse style.. its lovely, solid wood originally from barker and Stonehouse must have cost a fortune brand new! Gonna leave the top but paint the legs old ochre and lightly distress, v lightly and line the drawer with this lovely paper I have.

I think I need to do ee for a few days while its totm as red days aren't filling me up.

Bfast : toast w/ham (3syns butter)

Lunch : half smoked salmon sandwich (5syns) piece of bread, a peach

Snack : apple

Dinner : thai basil chicken w/egg 'fried' rice (carrots, cabbage, garlic, ginger, peas, sweetcorn, onion)

 

[Pommette]

Console table looks lovely chica.
Only 13 days to go until I see you. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Chocobo]

Gorgeous table, where on earth do you find these things?

 

[charl_young]

Ah I know bev!! So so excited now

Its sold already and for a pretty reasonable profit. Awesome!!

I kinda hunt all over the place for stuff. Gumtree, ebay, charity shop furniture stores and free cycle. Although freecycle stuff I'd tend to keep as its kinda bad form to re-sell from there I think!

Bev I've had to put my beautiful Victorian sideboard up for sale. After looking at it for a few months daniel (annoyingly) is right it is too big for our house. It'll take it over. If it doesn't sell I'll take it as a sign and keep it anyway..

I don't know whether to cross my fingers that it sells so you get some profit, or cross them that it doesn't so that you can keep it! :8855:
