SF's road to mortgage freedom!

slowlyfading

I've currently got beef and ale stew bubbling away in the oven and it's making the house smell so good :drool: I've also made a lemon drizzle cake and a maple syrup cheesecake - life is good

Spent more than normal at Mr Ms today but we've got family coming round for a meal so I'm not too bothered I'm looking forward to it as it should be a good evening. Might even suggest a board game or something afterwards! I'm so cool...

Me and DH are going to look at bathrooms tomorrow and looking at pricing different types of suites. I think we're wanting something relatively simple and space saving as our bathroom is quite small so that's exciting I then need to work out some more short term savings goals and more long term planning.

Drinking a cuppa out of my new Boston mug too, life is good

Sounds delicious SF, enjoy!

We've also got a small bathroom, I'd love to renovate it, but feel that we can't justify the cost as this isn't a forever home. I'd love a fully tiled wet room, just walk in and turn on the rain shower...

What sort of style do you like?

Ours isn't our forever home either but it desperately needs doing - the ceiling is coming off for a start! We're looking at a basic bath-sink-toilet thing, nothing fancy. It will have to be a family bathroom (!) as it's the only bathroom/toilet in our house but as it's small we need to be space saving as much as possible

As long as you don't go for the 'shell suite' from the famous DIY shop, you can't go far wrong. I took great delight pulling it out.....

Hi SF

Glad to hear you sounding a bit more cheerful

Last night I had pj's, slipper boots, dressing gown, fleece blanket, hot water bottle and a jack russell to keep me warm while watching TV! There's no way I'm putting the heaters on as they cost so much. Need to [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] repeatedly remind OH to start chopping wood!


I think a cheap white bathroom sweet with slightly nicer taps and tiles looks great. We can't wait for a new bathroom!

Ed, my OH suggested putting a drain in the bathroom floor as all the Greek bathrooms had these, even if they weren't wet rooms. I hate wet rooms! Even the loo roll gets wet - yuk!

My DH said this morning that if wasn't August, he would have put the heating on this morning as it was freezing! I wore my ugg boots out today too. Brr.

I think we're going to go with pretty neutral colours and then get brighter towels to add some colour that way I can't wait either!

Hi SF, just caught up with the beginning and end of your diary. You had not long got the kittens and then were about to head off on fabulous holiday to the States! Good luck with TTC, exciting times. Having had one surprise and one we TTC I loved the excitement and anticipation.

Bathroom next on our renovation list so let me know if you find a space saver bargain, our bathroom is tiny!

I will have a look at your blog too.
