I wish I hadn't started it now!
It was just a mark on the wall by the bin in the kitchen!I was putting the fan away in the outhouse, the electric fan not the one I dance the fandango with.
I spotted a tin of white emulsion so I thought I'd just paint over the small mark on the kitchen wall.
Then I spotted a mark under the radiator so I thought I may as well touch that up while the paint was open.
Then, there was the smudge on the hall wall at the bottom when Floyd rubs himself, rather a large one that! Then I found another one...
Then I noticed the door frames are looking very yellowing, so are the doors!
Whatever happened to that white paint that used to stay white? What was it called that indestructible paint polyurethane or something?
Now I need to decorate the whole bungalow!
...and wipe up the drips, on the flooring
Do you do this kind of "little job" that gets bigger?
Going for my nap now!

Re: I wish I hadn't started it now!
I have been known to sit and cry with frustration when a 'little job' has turned into a big one and I can't get it right 
That's the only drawback I can think of with not having a handy man around

I have a largish mark on side of stair wall where gdaughter pulled off a plaque it's pulled the paint off so it's irritating me , I keep thinking I must paint the wall but it rises so high up I'd never reach the ceiling yet I can't just put a splodge of paint on the mark. I think I'll just have to ignore it .

Yes, many a time.From painting my porch to deciding I hated painting so replaced it in PVCu
I once decided to service my motorbike myself.
That was an expensive idea.......new exhaust, fairing panel and complete respray.
I'm quite ocd when I least need nor can afford to be.
