Maybe for the monkeys a sign with a crossed-out monkey touching a cupboard? Otherwise soon (once the smell is gone) you`ll find shiny couloured blue and green and white monkeys (and baboons) on the trees?Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-37800860676891505662008-09-22T21:42:00.000+02:002008-09-22T21:42:00.000+02:00It's amazing how many more jobs turn up from what ...It's amazing how many more jobs turn up from what you may first have thought was a relatively small one!<BR/><BR/>CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-56458390033524168662008-09-22T14:45:00.000+02:002008-09-22T14:45:00.000+02:00That's one way to scare the monkeys away!You know ...That's one way to scare the monkeys away!<BR/><BR/>You know the law of intertia - that once something is in motion, it tends to stay in motion until it comes up against a brick wall? I believe this law works very well in the realm of painting.<BR/><BR/>I painted my bedroom a couple of years ago. Thought it would be such a quick job, but it went on and on (many cute little angles and corners and weird wall shapes). Then I HAD to paint the stairs leading to the main floor of the house. Then the countertops ....<BR/><BR/>Like you, I am not a pristine painter. Oh well!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-59674082911890955752008-09-22T12:56:00.000+02:002008-09-22T12:56:00.000+02:00thanks all for your lovely funny comments :-)lori ...thanks all for your lovely funny comments :-)<BR/><BR/>lori ann - yes thank goodness!

At least you've found a way of dealing with the monkeys!<BR/><BR/>Best you just admit personal "defeat" though, and succumb to painting the rest of the house - you know, once started, why stop!? :-)<BR/><BR/>By the way, unless you don't want your guests to eat, never paint a dining room blue - for some reason it causes people to lose their appetites, unlike if you paint it red - then they'll eat you out of house and home.

And you are totally correct -- once you paint something, everything else wants to be painted, too.
