Good night out, a little green around the gills after 10 drinks or so this morning, but we survived quite the thing :eek:
Black cabs are ridiculous these days, aren't they? £11 for 2 miles (boundary charge less than half a mile from our house), I did not tip.
£1.65 OPed, off to the inlaws tomorrow for operation bathroomgate.0 -

For Mrs E? What about me

You've only been in the place for five minutes and I imagine it's already unrecognisable. :eek: Seriously, I hope everything goes well with the new bathroom. If you don't mind me asking how much is it costing? I only ask as originally we thought ours could be completed for around £7-8,000, that looks far too over optimistic now, though.2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000 -
That sounds quite dear Alex, think it's £4-4.5k and our spec is pretty high end
It is a very small room though. 0
