Interesting phenomenon 5
Does anyone else recognise the following phenomenon?
You move into a new house. OH MY GOD the carpets are AWFUL, and that bathroom suite... and Jesus those light fittings are hideous. We really must get round to doing something about that.
1 year later: totally oblivious to awful carpets. They are just part of the background scenery now. You'll get round to it one day.
Nick and I have been quite good with DIY but there is still the odd job to finish off and, 9 months later, we don't seem to notice anymore. For example there is a weird bulkhead thing in the bedroom that is not finished off, so you can see under the floor. It's been that like since we moved in. Finally we've got a joiner coming round to finish it off.
It's very strange how something that was so offensive at first gradually becomes tolerable, then eventually invisible.
I guess when God created 70's black and red swirly carpets he figured he better also create a way for us to live with them.

Talking of hideous carpets - I always find it hard to understand that somebody actually went into a carpet shop and said "Yes, I'll have that one please!" They actually made a conscious choice too order and pay for something so hideous!!!! It might have been the white stick and labrador that made the choice? who knows!!!
Tell me about it. I'm hugely embarrassed that it's now exactly a year since we purchased the tiles for me to tile the bare plaster in the kitchen. Have they been unpacked? No. You should nag me to do it.
tile your kitchen. look how much you enjoyed tiling the bathroom!
