I’m officially useless and tasteless
Monday June 27th, 2005

I moved house this weekend. What a horrible thing to do. Not only that but I realised I am useless when it comes to these things. Of course I can wire a plug, yet fixing a doorbell, working out how to get picture hooks in without breaking the wall, and worst of all how to decorate are not my thing.

Luckily the house is already set up and decorated, but buying the little things to make it look nice is a nightmare for me. I have no taste. I seem to get it wrong at every turn - the candles in a bowl my best friend’s girlfriend suggested….. How was I to know the red candles wouldn’t go with the green bowl? - they don’t give you lessons on these things. Think I may just stick to telling people how to buy things cheaply. My stint on changing rooms is a long way off!
