On the twelfth day, it came to pass

It took God six days to build the world but, in 12 days, I believe I've proven you can do twice as much.

Yes, our living room is complete (and a whopping £16 under budget after I used only three instead of the predicted four rolls of wallpaper.  Vanessa has since been back Laura Ashley to swap it for a swimsuit).

Against all odds, the Wallpaper Bubble Fairy popped in on Friday afternoon to cast her spell, leaving me to return to relatively flat walls.

And against even greater odds, I managed to finish wallpapering the remainder of the room - relatively free from incident - just in time for last night's X Factor.

Jamie or Charlotte are bound to spill something by teatime.
