yay, I have finished the painting. Now just to do to two more drawer liners, buff the paint with some brown paper to get the sheen patterns off and then tidy up. 😊

fuck, that was not an easy job, I first spent a week cleaning 70 years of yellow gunk from smoke from all the furniture, sanded everything, then had to do four coats to cover the white enamel. I also repainted the brass drawer handles in a silver gold paint . It might take a month for all the paint to fully cure.

I have wrecked two pairs of jeans with paint and my new slippers, luckily they were old jeans and cheap slips.

My new desk is huge but then I remembered I got it to do art work on , for big pieces of paper, so that's cool. Think I'll repolish it before I use it. 😊

Aaaargh, I was a doofus and forgot to transfer voluntary contributions to my super via BPay before 4pm Friday (received a crucial sum only on Thursday night but there was still enough time...)

Deadline for the super fund to receive it is Tuesday 4pm, fingers crossed on Monday it goes through on the day itself. I will be nervously checking and calling on Monday and be really kicking myself in the pants if it turns out I've just missed it and lost out claiming it this FY...

Ugh. Dark circles. I’m wondering if it’s worth trying to buy a concealer or something.

Miss Seagoon is a make up artist.

she says to just use an extra layer of foundation on circles and spots
