    Good point. Although I think it went to formal tender which works a bit like an auction.

    No harm in a little email though.x

    Just bought a bath panel.

    Wondering if I can justify buying a new bathroom mirror. An alternative to replastering!!

    £24 on threshold strips.

    Not glamorous but I guess essential for a finished look!

    Are you looking to buy a wreck Al? I keep an eye on a certain property website and they seem to come up now and again, a bit like buses :)

    Exciting stuff - I love a project - although as we are yet to start ours I may change my mind over the next year or two...or three...

    New settees? Is this to convince prospective buyers that you are millionaires with brand new furniture? :)

    I do really fancy a wreck.

    New sofas so that reception room two resembles something other than a toy battlefield!
