    Cheers LP! Very pleased with the result, it feels good as we also did not use any credit to pay for it (apart from 0% over 12 months from B&Q whilst our savings grew! )
    We are preparing the next "LP stile" OP which should be early June!

    Nice to see that my mortgage provider keeps up to date.. I have received in today's post my mortgage statement, dated 31.03.2011.. They are only a month & a half behind, and I have made at least 3 overpayments since...:o

    I am so glad I am keeping track of my numbers, because I can clearly not trust them to do so...

    Rant over

    Bathroom looks lovely Froggy! AND you came in under budget :money: I am impressed! :T

    Good to hear your ebay sales and cash back are going well - amazes me how quickly the cashback adds up!


    Hope the IVF works for you, must be a tough time for you both.
