No I like space
A cupboard is space - it's storage space...
If you're going to put anything under there, such as a desk, then you can't rely on light filtering through the steps. You'll need proper electricity giving off light.
If you're thinking of putting a chair of some sorts under there, then you'll need to make sure there's a clear view of the telly.
Or did you have something else in mind?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

You know I have bought a house and I should be feeling :j:j:j:j:j:j:j and I am feeling :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T about moving away from that little t*sspot but I think the workload and the stuff in storage and the being between two houses is making me feel distinctly MEH
Sure I'll be better when I'm in in and have got the paintbrush out.
You know what else it is, looking at the list of things I dealt with in the last house that are present in this house;- dark wood planks as bannister rails - check
- swirly artex ceiling
- ornate door handles in the kitchen
- tulipy like light fittings
- mint green walls in the living room
All check - it's like I'm on a continuous 1970's renovation trip!
Anyway to cheer myself up I've been shopping (This can only end well surely?!!!) Mainly to celebrate visiting the dentist and not parting with £200 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
I've gone wild, absolutely crazy........
1 ironing board and 1 Girl Called Jack seasonal cookbook - £24! CRAZY :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Clearly not enough......so I went and paid £62 off my M&S card.
:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
CDL £10,000 = £5,101 still
M&S £ 1,188 £60 - £62 = + £2:wave::wave::wave::wave: BYE BYE
MBNA £ 3,450 £3,346 - 32= £3,314
So in total = [STRIKE]£8475[/STRIKE] £8414
Don't worry....no more spending now until payday on Thursday!Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.
