We have large rectangular pedal operated bins at work which are directly below the hand towel dispensers. People who use them to rest their paperwork/folders/handbags on while they go to the loo/wash their hands. Meaning I have to stand about with dripping wet hands until they see fit to move their crap. I really should just drip all over their crap and then throw my used hand towel on top.... but I'm too British....maybe one day I will go postal

Gloss.

No word can describe my utter hatred for the stuff. I frown constantly when glossing.

NON DRIP - MY ARSE! I'd I'm the Queen.

Biggest pile of codswollop in the universe.

Satin wood is worse, yet it looks better (IMO). Someone PLEASE create an alternative before I go INSANE!!

As you can tell so do I buuut unfortunately due to the staining, restaining, varnishing, painting, lead painting and more painting of my skirting boards and picture rails... I'd have gone through a shed load of nitromors to get it off. It was the "easiest" solution.

Which has still not been easy as I have had to use an aluminium base paint first as the staining kept coming through the gloss.

All the doors are being dipped and waxed up though! YAya!

I stripped every bit of wood out I could and replaced the lot when we moved in. Skirtings, architrave, doors, even the bannisters and stuff. I then sanded the door frames and what was left of the stairs back and stained them. a lot of work, but it means no gloss anywhere!! woohoo!!

But checking online the one that is overdue is twice as far away as the one in the main library that is on the shelf. Errrr what? OK well this is what I get for not paying for my books

There are 3 copies now available on shelves and still the one she requested for me is out to someone else.... marvellous. I gave up waiting and have started reading another book, if they haven't told me it's available by the time I finish this book I think I'll just request it again from a different library online myself (then no doubt they will both turn up at once!!).
