Radish & Hooch - The BIG house MF journey
Comments
-
I would hate set holidays, during the recession years after all the redundancy, we were moved to fix holidays for a year and I didn't like it all. Don't normally have this many days left at the end of the year but we haven't had a main holiday this year as with all the house move's we were to tired and to busy in Sept to fit one in
We now have solar panels fitted and generated a small amount of electricity yesterday in the rain
The pink bathroom suite has been ripped out and outside for everyone to see, oh the shame :rotfl:
I have OP'ed £23.66 and think BF is itching to pay off a bit more as well but we are thinking of buying a big integrated fridge/freezer so we can cope with Christmas and then buy the cupboard to fit round it when we have the kitchen done so that could be this month's OP money

Morning Radish, fridge freezer planned purchase sounds great. Apart from the spending to update the house, it must be great to see the changes starting. When do you aim to be complete?

Not sure, the list seems endless but I don't mind the decor, I'm more about the feeling of being home than living in a fantastic looking house (if that makes sense)
Kitchen/Utility room
Garden/Fence replaced
En-suite
etc etc

When our bathroom was ripped out, the chap said that the same colour (pampus grass = dirty beige) was the first he fitted when he was an apprentice... he was nearing retirement! It's nice once it's done... took a few weeks for me to stop looking into the bathroom as I walked past, just to admire!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0

This is so sad but I remember when pampas grass was the new avocado - those were the days in the early 80s of burgundy, bright yellow, green suites and boy I'm so glad those days have gone. LOL

Pooh. You smell :rotfl:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
