Yoo-hoo :hello:
Just waiting for the tea to finish cooking so thought I'd catch 5 mins on here. Been and chose my tiles for the bathroom, the floor vinyl too and the taps. They're doing beautiful electric fires and surrounds but I can't have one BOO! though she said she'd send the surveyor back out and see if I can (I've never had one in not even electric) - that would save me a whole load of wonga.
Pretty much all done for today, tea, load DW and a quick wipe of the kitchen to finish off, then a bubbly bath and a good film.0 -
