I spent the weekend painting the final colour on the walls and ceiling in David's room. Matt hardly gets to spend time with the kids during the week so I decided to take control and assign parental responsibilities to him whilst I shut myself away in David's room with a pot of paint and Radio Four. I love decorating. There is something very therapeutic and satisfying about it and I find it really relaxing. It also meant I could escape from the routine of motherhood for a few hours.
I enjoyed the two days so much it started me thinking about something. I've been looking for a career change for several months now.. Something that would enable me to choose my working days and hours to fit in with the school run. How about I set myself up as a painter and decorator? I've always been envious of those small vans zipping around the neighbourhood - painters, plasterers, florists, handymen. Would a female painter and decorator be appealing to the Pinner market? Maybe it's not such a crazy idea.
