    Well done on the home renovations front
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Have to say I am pleased with the house at the moment.
    Only thing still to be done at the moment in the house is the doors need to be varnished.
    Then the fences of doom.

    Well done on getting the award - you really deserve it :)

    You're doing really well on the house and mortgage front too. I need to get a move on with my house renovation, I keep putting it off - it's hard when you have to do everything on your own.

    So pleased to hear you sounding so upbeat xx

    Thats good news on the house front, if varnishing the doors is the main thing needing doing - sounds like its a good place to be at the moment.

    As to fences of doom - my man with a van is on my list to call today, yikes ...

    Hello lovely lady hi-there-smiley.gif?1292867616

    Not sure which shops you have where you live but these are the cheapest on Fleabay at the moment:
    £4.75/99 free postage

    I'll have a look round the interwebs to see if I can find cheaper. Might be difficult because of postage :think:

    ETA
    If you want 4 I found these for £13.89
