I am going to get cracking with some outside painting then - have got an old garden table & chairs that I stained dark brown years ago and been aching to paint it with some zing! Exterior paint is way too costly but i've got some 1/2used tester pots kicking around so going to dig them out.

Going to the hairdressers is a pleasure for me, she is a friend of mine for more than thirty years now, we have a chat and a catch up and she knows exactly how I like it cut. She rents a chair, so has little overheads. I have a cut, condition, blow dry and a coffee for £18.00.Raenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-65382032974348577142018-06-18T09:16:38.476+01:002018-06-18T09:16:38.476+01:00Your colours make me happy.Your colours make me happy.Darwin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715389494434546700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-20631740752374792232018-06-17T22:49:42.332+01:002018-06-17T22:49:42.332+01:00I have painted all sorts of things in the garden w...I have painted all sorts of things in the garden with allsorts of types of paint.

It fades in the sun, and needs freshening now and again. I have been painting pots in emulsion for ages, sometimes bits flake off over time and they need another coat. All my paint is given to me, I don't buy any, except the small tester pots at 10p or whatever they are, and I get a few from the Scrapstore very cheap. If you want an outside paint job to last ten years you would be best buying exterior paint meant for the job.
