Am reading your diary for inspiration and now want the penguin cloth bound classics...laughing here..the inspiration didnt go quite the way planned. Have not and will not purchase till mortgage free....Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Thank you SSS
I do like my house
It's just over 100 years old, terraced and in a lovely conservation area but not listed :cool:
We bought it 5.5 years ago from a chap who had never lived in the house but had spent 6 years lovingly renovating it as a hobby - new kitchen, new bathroom, new electrics, new conservatory, new wooden window frames and original parquet flooring, quarry tiles and fireplaces :TMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
