    Good ta, waiting for the insurance company to come to make a decision on some water damage. I’ve been a bit sore the last few days. I’m assuming it’s a flare after being ill but knowing why doesn’t stop it hurting:/

    Mainly. I’ve got an insurance assessor here at the moment to look at our water damaged ceiling - I forgot he was coming so had to throw yesterday’s clothes on - but other than that I’m taking it easy. Good news, though. I’ve been thinking recently that we needed to redecorate our all, stairs and landings - always a big job as it’s 3 floors. But because of where the damage is, they’re going to redecorate the ceiling and walls

    Saves a massive, expensive job. Last time we had it done (7 years ago) it cost close to £500 to get done. The hardest part is going to choose colours but I’m happy it’s being done, since having all the pretty flooring put down, it’s shown up the dated, scuffed paintwork

    Today has been my first day without any balance, sicky symptoms and I haven’t had tinnitus for 3 days - the first time that’s happened in about 6 weeks. Life is feeling good

    Are you serious??? The man has no clue! No, he isn’t allowed to make the decision, he sometimes doesn’t even get to see the colours beforehand

    The flooring on the ground floor is grey and the stairs and landings carpets are dark grey with a slight blue tinge. So ive ordered testers in a range of grey, purple (which we have already so would mean no new curtains) and blue. This is my happy place, I absolutely love choosing colour schemes and decorating rooms
