    It's complicated.

    Bathroom should be finished today, looking forward to checking it out this evening after work :)

    Final visit to the vet tomorrow, three in a fortnight is far too many :eek:

    I'll ask no more re. complicated cats. :rotfl:

    Glad your happy with the bathroom. My wife seems to want something that wouldn't be out of place in a (nice) hotel.

  • We all want that but like you I'm stuck with my house built in 1916 so only way to get what looks right is to spend vast amounts of money.

    Still over the moon with new bathroom, lovely to be home from in-laws and to have a room that's entirely 'us'. Will take a couple of boxes of tiles and some trim back for a refund tomorrow, Mrs E has been told that she can spend the refund on fluffy new towels :D

    £3.53 to Monthly Project from a MB, 91p OPed.

    This week has been one of eating nonsense, drinking too much and takeaways. Back to normal from next week ;)

    Happy weekend all.

    Glad I'm not the only one that thinks a modern bathroom doesn't look right in an old property. :)

    Glad to hear you're happy with it. :) Can't think of a punishment worse than having to spend a week with my in-laws though. :rotfl:

    Luckily they weren't there Alex, but they're good people, very friendly :)

    80p OPed, £500 paid to S&S ISA on Thursday has cleared. I'm either an investing genius or very lucky, caught the dead cat bounce quite the thing :rotfl:

    Returning tiles, library books and cash to the bank today.
  • Lovely to hear you are settling in so well and making it yours.
