    I am also in the "good intentions to clean oil based brushes and rollers but leaving it too long and having to bin everything" camp. I have recently discovered tray liners which make me feel a bit better, my internal argument being they are less wasteful than binning a whole tray or using gallons of water/white spirit to clean. Also, B&Q do a tray and liners that also come with a sealed lid for the tray. Gives a lot of time between coats without having to ditch and start again.

    Which also limit the available time you can do decorating without interruption. All our decorating was done between 10pm-12am after work and kids bedtimes. Painting, esp white, is hard in artificial light. Fuck it, never going it again. Ever.
