I prefer carpet in the bedroom. I agree with Wendz, I think it makes the room warmer. However, I think wooden floors show up better in photos and give the place a more modern, fresh feel about the place. It's amazing what a furry rug can do too - can give the best of both worlds. So in answer to your question - if I was doing it up to keep for myself I would put carpets down, if I was doing it up to sell I would put wooden floors down. Hope it makes sense!

I agree with this, if I was doing it just for me I would have carpet. But id we were talking resale value I would put wooden floors with a nice big furry rug

We actually got a wet hoover on amazon vine this week, I'll have a go with that when we get it, see if things get a bit brighter.

I think wooden flooring makes rooms look bigger.:D

How did you get on Amazon Vine please?

I thought you were a lurker who'd forgotten to lurk - changing your piccie confuses me!

Vine, basically I wrote about 20 reviews and then one day I logged on amazon front page and there was a big advert on the right hand side asking if i wanted to join.

Can't buy the new floor till mum pays for the car, so have a while until we need to decide.

Think the diet project might be knocked on the head. I'm sick of chopping and changing and it doesn't seem to be working. I know whats good for me and what isn't, I just need to have more self control!

Have you a projected profit that you want to get from this house, or do you more want to get shot of it Dinah?

I'd like to make £15k on it, but we'd sell it so long as we broke even

15k profit would be great especially in the climate we are in at the moment.

Our area seems to be pretty much flat - the cheapest 4 bed in our town (and its small enough not to really have good and bad parts!) is up at £189,950, but it needs some work as its a little tatty, nothing major just dated. If ours sold for that I'd be pretty chuffed.

I hope you get a good price. I can't wait to get rid of our flat when the mortgage is up in 2013. We will have had it 10 years by then so hopfully we will get a good deposit for a family home in Ireland (if there are jobs there by then!).

I have a bit of news to announce. I am nearly 11 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. It was a 'happy' surprise but I never wanted a huge gap so there will be 18 months between them. We only want 2 children so we can get all the sleepless nights and nappies in 1 go. I have been feeling way better than I did with Max so that has been a relief as I was quite ill with him
