There comes a time when the lounge Wallpaper has to go
That time has come

Not looking forward to the mess but here goes ;-) ;-)

Lounge? There's posh. Do you mean the front room?

We are very posh us Boros like Bob haha
PMSL TWICE :-D :-D

if I'd PMSL twice, I would also be stripping of my damp underwear, JBA. :-D

I can't stand to work in soggy draws, not knowing whether the damp splashes were from the wall paper stripping, or self-inflicted. :-0 :-D :-D :-D

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) Allan

I hate doing it But its nearly all stripped now
Going to start the ceiling tomorrow

Every time I turn my back Scarlett my cat settles for a sleep
on my ladder :-D :-D :-D

Be careful when re-papering Joy, you don't want to get anything sticky on your pussy. Oops.

I hate the sight of wallpaper paste! :-D :-D

wink wink Bob

Allan
I've just painted 24 metres of ceiling
with a small brush and I am right sick of it now
Never mind Skirting and Gilting tomorrow

You don't have self-pasted wallpaper over there?

JBA = Michelangelo ;-)

Our parlor wanted papering,
And Pa says it was waste
To call a paperhanger in,
And so he made some paste.
He bought some rolls of paper,
Got a ladder and a brush
And with my mummy's nightgown on,
At it he made a rush.

When Father papered the parlour
You couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there!
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
The children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family
So stuck up before.

Soon dad fell down the stairs
and dropp'd his paperhanger's can
On little Henrietta sitting there
with her young man,
The paste stuck them together,
as we thought t'would be for life,
We had to fetch the parson in
to make them man and wife.

When Father papered the parlour
You couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there!
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
The children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family
So stuck up before.

The pattern was 'blue roses'
with its leaves red, white, and brown;
He'd stuck it wrong way up and now,
we all walk upside down.
And when he trimm'd the edging
off the paper with the shears,
The cat got underneath it,
and dad cut off both its ears.

When Father papered the parlour
You couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there!
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
The children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family
So stuck up before.

We're never going to move away
from that house any more
For Father's gone and stuck the chairs
and table to the floor,
We can't find our piano,
though it's broad and rather tall,
We think that it's behind the paper
Pa stuck on the wall.

When Father papered the parlour
You couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there!
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
The children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family
So stuck up before.

Now, Father's sticking in the pub,
through treading in the paste,
And all the family's so upset,
they've all gone pasty faced.
While Pa says, now that Ma has spread
the news from north to south,
He wishes he had dropped a blob
of paste in Mother's mouth.

That's wonderful

I haven't got as far as the wall papering yet hun
;-) ;-)

16 rolls waiting patiently in the hall

We haven't had wallpaper since we moved out of our very first house in 1985. Since then all our houses have only ever had emulsioned walls.

Whilst I was still working, her indoors used to decide on a whim that she wanted a change and I would arrive home from work to find a new colour scheme in whichever room she decided to attack. Whilst she got to be a dab hand with the emulsion, she never took to glossing so I was always left to do that, usually the next free weekend whether I wanted to or not....!

Although I have been retired for 10 years it is still the same routine and whilst we have talked about it on occasion we have no desire to go back to wallpapering.

I am a real fan of wall paper it looks warmer
My son and Daughter all have emulsion walls
It all makes me feel cold
There houses remind me or a barn and sound lick echo's

But it is a big Job to change it :-( :-( :-(

I've got a great Plan
If I leave the 16 rolls of wallpaper by the front door
a tin of open gloss by the window so the smell wafts through
and the house a mess

When people come I can say sorry about the mess I am decorating
and may never have to clean up ever again

whoo hoo how smart am I pmsl x
:-D :-D :-D

The house next door is the same size as mine. When I wanted to paper the living room I asked him how many rolls of paper he bought to do his. Nine rolls, he replied. So I went to the shop, bought nine rolls of paper, and when I had finished, I had two rolls left over. So I said to him, my room only took seven rolls, I had two left over. And he said, that's funny, so did I.

Pmsl Bob that funny :-D :-D :-D
