I don't know, but I think 1 design per entry is better, easier to judge by comparisons, .....and more fair all around, esp for the contestant who doesn't have much free time.

That would be my preference....but UP to YOU

Are you going for most creative again with one of your decoupage offerings? I think a tattoo would be very original.

Not sure really.....depends on what 'decoupage' means ??

anyway, think I finished the downstairs section last night....then looking through some old designs, thought I should change it for a more spectacular one....but nah, best keep the special stuff for later.

He has seen me, u know

btw: On a napkin again?....hehe....can't say I'm that surprised__

splitlid · 02-10-2009, 07:34 AM

well, yes sweetcheeks, but the glass in your bathroom window is that funny stuff that you cant see through properly, so it was a bit hard to tell if it was lardy or not.

but you do need a shave.

mooncake · 02-10-2009, 08:10 AM

oOoh hmmm....
I can see u found uncle BuffetBlimp's bathroom also,...one window short from mine.

U need to find an exorcist quick!!!__otherwise it will occupy all your memory for the rest of your life

Could I just ask...... is the plot 20 wide by 30 deep or vice versa??? Do we know what properties are either side of the plot (ok hypothetically talking) as probably not fields due to locations given?

I may need a bigger fag packet if I have to go to 3 floors!!!

I'm doing mine 20m wide but I think that should be optional unless there is a consensus to make it the same. There will be homes on either side. This is an urban setting and that means no uniformity of building type.

Nawty · 06-10-2009, 09:09 AM

I done mine 30m street frontage.

Finished last night.

But I ain't going to be the first....hate coming first.....unless its winning.

But I always come second.

splitlid · 06-10-2009, 10:06 AM

eeeek, am still sharpening my mouse.

thinking cap on.

come on nawty dont be shy.

mooncake · 06-10-2009, 02:16 PM

last minute to the finish line...is much more exciting

Humbert · 08-10-2009, 07:53 AM

I think everyone can relax for a while. There will be a small delay while the issue of a prize is sorted out. Watch this space for further announcements

.

Nawty · 08-10-2009, 09:38 AM

I also think that the previous comp winner should have the honour of going first.

Humbert · 08-10-2009, 10:33 AM

^No problem, happy to oblige.
