Easter - London - Hard Workers Needed
Yes - I am actually staying at home for the weekend and have decided to decorate my flat. Any painting volunteers ? Free mojitos and overalls provided.

no it is the perfect mileage opportunity - a change to pop over the the UK and then stay on some discounted rate at the hilton just 5 mins from the painting/DIY fest. what more of a fun weekend could you ask for ? don't you get 'Changing Rooms' on TV in France?

Food and drink are easily obtained at the nearby McDonalds or for a bit of variety the petrol (US folks read "gas") station on the corner.
Sounds like we're going to have fun!

oops - forgot to mention the most important thing, the folks at the Hilton won't mind too much if we use their toilets ("restrooms") - it's a brisk half mile walk, but the fresh air will allow us to escape from the paint fumes for a bit.

SarahWest - you must have been stalking me - how did you know where i live ?! You omitted to mention the floating pub in the dock nearby - a nice refreshing change from tired old hotel minibars..
I am planning to paint the kitchen, bathroom, hallway and lounge(bar). So that's at least an 8 person job. Come on teams - spaces at this FT event are limited ! I could decorate each room in a different airline livery if that would inspire you a bit more.

So is airfare included in this painting party? If so, I would be delighted to volunteer, assuming I can select my own flights (I'll accept the cheapest upgradable coach ticket on AA).

Alternatively, it's a pink meat that comes in a tin and was big in the 40's....
