Creativity class

The YFG has been a busy bee this last week and as well as attending her interview on Thursday, she has completely redecorated the cloakroom [below] and been a huge help in the preparations for the EF girls' arrival.  The cloakroom had been a shade of green for many years and the skirting boards were in dire need of a lick of paint, so she did it. Just like that, and all by herself. 


We had the family who took her on holiday round to dinner on Friday night, and she wanted prawn cocktails, so she made them.  I thought she did rather well with those. They became a personal favourite of hers from all the cruising with Grandad - I think she had them every night on the last cruise!


And the mum came back this afternoon to say that her husband had been inspired [or shamed!] by the YFG's hard work, and had started his own programme of re-decorations.......

Great feeling isn't it, when you've shamed someone else into action rather than the other way around. Aren't I horrid!

Lol, FC, it wasn't so much us doing the shaming as his wife, who was making comments about the YFG doing the decorating, and including rather pointed digs at her husband, along the lines of, "well, if she can do it...". They have a very traditional [old-fashioned?] relationship in which some jobs are very much His!

A good job and well done, small rooms are the worst to decorate with hardly room to move, is she available for hire? :-)
