Our daughter's such a basket case...


Having spent most of the day wearing her Easter bonnet like a bra, she's now disguising herself as a pillar box.

Amelie's not the only one seeing red at the moment though. Lisa and I are too. Well, not so much red as shocking pink. This was the colour we chose for the hallway at our new flat...

It's called 'Violet Verona 5'. And it does nothing like it says on the tin. Dulux describe it as "a fresh violet" for "a soft, subtle, understated look". My Mum describes it as "strawberry milkshake". And having gone up to the flat last night to inspect my Dad's handiwork, I'm inclined to agree with the latter. It was like walking into a bubblegum factory. I've never been so in the pink. Frankly, on this evidence, the two gentlemen of Verona were gay.

I originally painted one wall of my bedroom in a Dulux colour that was supposed to be peach.  It too turned out to be pink.

I overpainted it red instead.

You live in Brighton.  What more can one say?!

With all this mention of Dulux, I'm sure they'll soon be refunding your money!!  Perhaps they only know how to make pink.

You could always make the hall Amelie's bedroom - until she becomes a teenager, when she might not like everybody walking through her room.

And was it the Tearaway Tots that taught her to dress up in a toy basket?

P.S.  So what have you bought from Dell?

The Tearaway Tots decided to scarper when they knew Amelie was coming. She ran riot in the children's library instead.
