I'm sure once the loft is done you will feel better. It can make you feel a bit uneasy spending so much on your home when you've had itchy feet but it could be this that makes you fall in love with your house.
Am sure you will juggle everything financially too.June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Hi cath, thanks for popping, I hope the loft does make me feel differently about the house, nothing has ever been completed before, so fingers crossed we will have one room perfect
Forgot to make today's op , so will do that in a moment ( the minimum 10p AGAIN)
The bowling was good, well worth £16 , but not the quoted full price of £91. It made a nice change for all five of us to do something at the same time.
