    That way, I can think of my bonus as not having gone towards my debt, but having increased my equity in my house, thereby putting me one step closer to dream house.

    :T :T :T :T that's the spirit :T :T :T :T

    How about THIS one - it has an annex for us all to come & stay over :D

    Thank you! I will be looking for clearance sales for tins of paint and bathroom tiles.....I reckon if I am savvy I can do what I need to do without spending too much. The windows are the biggie, but because we won't be looking to stay there for ever, we will go for cheap and cheerful rather than the best! I also need a new gas fire, and ideally a surround which will not be cheap, but again with a little shopping around and stuff I might be lucky.

    you mind reader - that is the exact road that I am aiming for......the nearest I get so far is incorporating it on my running route so that I can look through windows and dream.

    I went into a house on that road when I was a little girl, and knew from that moment that it was where I wanted to be. It is what my debt free journey is all about.

    Can't believe you picked that road!!!!!

  • That house is just gorgeous!!!! I want it , I want it!

    As for the decorating, that too is something we need to get on with here but we need to de-clutter first to be able to do anything else.

    tea, my decluttering is getting (believe it or not) to the stage where we could start thinking about slapping some paint on........Once I had done the london marathon, I think I will start allocating my weekends to paint and paper!

    Oh believe me, I will be looking at the lower end of the market on that road. Smaller version of the same though.........:D
