Was woken up by the alarm on my phone and lay around for a bit until I could hear someone else getting up. It was very strange; I was sleeping in Sal’s old room and she was sleeping in mine. I got up and showered, and by the time I’d got downstairs and watched half an episode of a particularly tasteless Changing Room pretty much everyone was downstairs and ready for breakfast.

As we ate, we discussed what I should do with my blue bathroom cabinet, which is now completely the wrong colour for the bathroom. I was all for going to Halfords to get some white spray paint, but in the end was convinced to paint it with a brush and what I had left of the paint I’d used for the walls.

I changed back into my old painty jeans and covered the garage floor in newspaper, then set about painting it. I used very little paint so that it would have a brushy, smeary look. I’m quite happy with it, but I think it’s perhaps still a bit blue. The bathroom looks very relaxing now that it’s all finished, though. A success, I think.

Unfortunately the tiles are now far more obvious, and as they are a kind of greenish brown they look rather tasteless, but unless I retile the whole room, and change the bath, sink and toilet I’m suck with them.

Went into Chelmsford with Sal and Dan and mooched around the shops for an hour before lunch. I came home with just a book of stamps and a car manual dad’s asked me to post off to him in France, so it wasn’t a particularly successful trip. I can’t be doing with thinking about Christmas yet. It’s still seven weeks away but the shops are full of trees, and the tacky ‘welcome to 200x’ sign is already up at the end of Oxford Street (London, not Chelmsford). Surely it’s time they put that thing into retirement. Or burnt it.
