  • Aww thank you, the trouble is, although it will add value I don't think it will add as much as it is going to cost:eek:. However ultimatly it is for us so it has to be right. I am excited but nervous, what if I don't like it when its in and we have spent all this money:(. Oh i'm so carp!

    I'm sure you will love it, it's just nerves (at spending the ££s) that are getting the better of you!! :)

    I so know where you're coming from though, hubby's old banger failed it's MOT on Wednesday so we are looking at buying a new car & the thought of spending ££s is making my eyes water!! :rotfl:
    Tbh, I would much prefer to be spending those ££s on a new kitchen, a car loses it's value & 'newness' so quickly :( *goes & sobs into a coffee & penguin (as it's a tad too early for wine & no toblerone to hand either) & wonders whether to watch 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' on catch-up to cheer one-self up* ;)

    Finished negotiations with the window firm; £3,500 for windows, fascias and soffits(sp?). Am very pleased with that, they have done a lovely job nearby so fingers crossed:).


    Can I be cheeky and ask if they're a local firm, may I have the company name? pleeeease

    Great news TPA on windows etc, £260 on 2 tyres eek I need two rear ones I hope it won't cost me that much!
  • SML, they are a small local (South Wales firm) I think this is how they keep their costs low. I'm not sure if you are in my area, if you are pm me!!

    BIG NEWS:

    The kitchen has been ordered:eek:. Managed to do a deal with B&Q and got a good discount:j, interest free for two years. Anyone need any negotiating done this week???? I'm on a roll!

    Now I need ideas for wall colours, the kitchen is going to be oak with black appliances. I will need to brighten up with wall colour as this is one room, kitchen diner (or will be once it's finished!) Any ideas, hubbys not keen on going too bright!

    Congratulation on the kitchen and the discounts that is fab news. I am sure it will all look fine but I do remember the continued doubt when choosing colours etc even which way the tiles are going to go. We did our bathroom and spend far more than we had planned on materials but I think it is worth it as the fitting cost is so expensive it is worth getting what you want. I look at my bathrooms each day and there is nothing I would have done differently.

    Good luck with the posh lunch sounds like you need the new clothes.
