    Butti, will you do the tiling yourself?

    Oh yes. The tiles have cost me £90 and the rest will be a super money saving venture. White tiles with mosaic ones over the sink. Will get a man in I know to fit the wardrobe doors and fit me a cooker hood. The rest is painting and cleaning and sorting QUICKLY :D

    Tenants hopefully for mid September.

    Sal - Do you think you're a bit run down from the level of change / stress in your life. I had a sore throat and cold when I was doing a full time job and part-time course. It cleared up literally on the day I finished the course.

    Wow! I am so impressed! We are going to be doing our bathroom up this autumn and the tiling will probably be the most expensive part :mad:

    Good morning

    I never woke up till 10.45, had a bad night though, my hip is giving me right jip this week, only managed to sort the kitchen out now i'm in absolute agony :( dunno whether its sitting at the dining room chairs making jewellery thats doing it or not?

    The tiles in my bathroom were £7 odd a pack of 10 from a bathroom place by us, i think we needed 15 packs but that did the floor and half way up the walls. Dh tiled our bathroom.

    Got loads to do today but its so warm, plus the heatings on cause Ben and i need showers :( so we are melting :).

    need to sort living room next then i think my bedroom before i have a shower, got all the clothes i washed yesterday in piles in my bedroom to sort.

    Glad i persevered and did as much washing as i could yesterday, we are forecast rain today :(

    I think i'm going to take the plug of tv, Ben is doing my head in, i'm asking him to do stuff and have to ask at least three times before he moves. he's supposed to be doing his bedroom??? went up there for 5 mins came down for breakfast now plonked himself infront of tv, i'm starting to get anoyed.

    back to sorting the house :)

    Butti in answer to your question most definitely...burning the candle at both ends and stressed with schoool/move etc....last night I was awake at 1:30am having a mild panic attack :( I know its stress anxiety related and sure the sore throat etc is possibly related
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
