Creeping Desk Mat

 When I moved into this room I inherited PJ's desk . . . . .which he had customised of course!!

The cutting mat was stuck . . . and I mean stuck . .  to the desk top, which was a shame as it is a good old fashioned desk.

Slowly over the months I have tried to detach said mat from the desk top . . . . . I am sure if I could find just one of the many sticky tape remover cans it would be quicker  . . . .  but for now it is inch by inch.

Today I managed to be able to remove the mat and move it six inches to the right . . . . . "so?" do I hear you say?  

Moving it six inches means I have a larger play area . . . . .woop! woop!

When you think of this in the great scheme of things, it may not be much but one thing I HAVE learnt is that the well known plasterers tape (you know  .  . for corners of walls not just for texture in mixed media!) is absolutely great at sticking!

Here's to the next move . . .  hopefully one of those cans will have turned up to help me . . . .
