Buy her the lamp, then treat yourself or you could offer to paint the dinning room to match the kitchen.

Rich,
The lamp was just a metaphor of womanees
The dining rooms done, she's on about the hall stairs and landing next we've got wallpaper samples up now

A bit of paint at last! Looks totally different now its been primed.
All filling has now been completed so the bonnet and doors will be painted, flattened back before the final top coats are applied.

I can barely contain myself - one door and a bumper has paint on it, in the final colour. Looks AWESOME and finally seeing the fruit of these delays. 100% happy with the colour.
To be fair I could never have got the bodywork as good as it is now. T'other bumper, door, bonnet and bootlid being finished this weekend and the car will receive paint next week - its prepped all ready for application.
Have taken chocolates to the garage as a) a peace offering for my constant rants and b) a sugar overload to get them working twice as hard to finish it.
