Drum roll please............. I have finished tiling my kitchen which I started about 18 months ago when I got utterly fed up of waiting for DH to do it. I shall grout it on Wednesday after I've collected the kids from school.
I did the estate agent tour around the "finished" rooms in our house (the ones DH plastered and painted and left 1/2 done!) and made myself a list. It is 2 A4 pages long and I'm going to get it done by hook or by crookDebt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
