I've been stalking this thread for nearly a year now :eek:

Though it was about time I spoke!! I love buying things and doing them up but can only do small things as just moved back home and have no room!!!

Just about to head off to a car boot though - looking for a mirror and picture frames as I've just done up my bedroom!! :j

Make sure you post before and after pics as we :heartpuls looking at them.

I did a really bad thing and forgot to take pics of my room before BUT all I've done is paint 3 walls white and paper one. No furniture or decoration of any kind in there now so can take a pic of that and then after I've done it up?!:T

well the car boot was closed because the weather is appalling but I drove past a laura ashley outlet and they have 70% off last marked price as they're closing down!!:j:j
So I bought a lovely double plant holder and some really pretty candles (will post pics when I find my camera!)

It's north birmingham where I live. personally I don't think it would be worth going on a long drive to it as there's stuff but you can tell it's been picked over but as I was driving past anyway - no extra petrol costs! I also ended up buying 2 dresses and a jumper in tkmaxx - oops! shouldn't be allowed shopping when I have no money. Although I only spent £25 so can't really complain!!

bargain hun - dh works in birmingham so more details would be fab as to where - if you dont mind - I can get him to call in for me then - did they have any fabric

Today I have finished tiling and grouting my kitchen. It looks fabby.
It's horrid weather here and poor moggy is now sitting right next to my arm with her nose touching it because she's cold and I've knicked her seat. She's been asleep on the sofa for most of the day!
The collection only jobby that you use, is it a separate site or is it in the advanced search bit? (Not that I'm going to use it you understand, purely for research purposes!).
My beef with ebay is that it can't seem to differentiate between England and Wales. So if I put down nearest first, I get Cardiff and such like popping up as it's only about 5 miles from my house. As my car can't swim and I can't swim across with a dresser on my back and then walk up about a mile and a half of swampy mud, I don't want to see what I can't have from Cardiff!
Mind you, right move is the same
