Sometimes I just give up
« on: October 22, 2007, 17:30:06 »
Can I have a chandelier? she asks, (no she ain't an Essex girl) Why not said I as it saves a lot of time just agreeing.
Good cause I've got one in the car, a bit of a lie because she had two.

Bugger! I though I would have little bit of time to put her off.

I'll get Bill the leccy man to put them up,  bugger! another excuse just gone out of the window.

I've just got home and they are up and running, Hellfire and damnation they are RED, I feel like I am living in a brothel.

Are they from B&Q?

There's a picture of some just like that in my B&Q catalogue thingy that came in the middle of a home magazine - my DH took one look at them and said "I know we need a new lampshade, but we're absloutely not getting anything like that!" ;D

hang on i think there pretty :)

I think that what its missing is something to cover the white light bulbs, i am sure i have seen something like that which had little lamp shades that went over the bulbs.

Would not suit my place at the moment.

Well ACE, at least the chandeliers match the curtains - or should that be the other way around.

I think Cam has a point, clear bulbs would be much better, or if you wanted to go the whole hog, I think you can still get those bulbs that pretend to be flickering candle flames...........................

What's wrong with pink jumpers?  I've got two ;D ;D

^^ I agree.

I bet when seeing the whole room, they look stunning but yes, transparent bulbs more appealing?  :)

OMG! That's unbelievably horrible!  :o :o :o

Looks like something you'd find in an Arab sheik's palace/tent? Don't you have other wives in your harem with better taste?

(If all else fails - chuck the pink pullover over it.  ;))
