you know that saying that if something seems too good to be true then it probably is? I went for a wee nosey at a house that's popped up at a fantastic price earlier - turns out its right on a busy junction with traffic lights just outside...maybe not!
On the doing things up here list I saw some blinds yesterday that I thought would do for the bedroom but decided to come back and check the width... mmm... turns out the window is 32cm wider than the cheap blinds! whoops! but glad I checked. must nip up to ikea at some point and see what they've got.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
