Let me clarify! We could really do with our hall and living room being painted and I really can't be bothered with doing it and looking after Elijah - so I'm wondering if it's really expensive to get someone to do it...the other thing is, my dad is doing odd-jobs just now and I wanted to ask him if he could do it - but didn't want to rip him off as I know he wouldn't charge us as much as he should....any thoughts? I can't really guess the size of the rooms but they are very small and it is no more than 2 days work I wouldn't have thought!
