    Morning.

    The plasterer has changed the date and booked in for next Wednesday 830am. And will have my dad ask him for a quote to do my boys room. So this weekend I will be completely focused on finishing stripping his room (who uses no more nails for 6 layers wallpaper!!!) and getting the rest of laminate off his walls (yup you heard right!). Anyway room is getting there. Next week when I have that done will look at the money then head to B and Q and get the wood cut there for the open cupboard sorted.

    Abso done in from doing house every night myself but will get there eventually.

    nothing else to add but 23 days until payday, another 5 week month also :(! xx

  • Morning lovely,

    It's heading in the right direction :D

    I guess with the no more nails they were making sure that the wallpaper 'stuck' to the walls.....getting it off was a different matter :/
    I bet your lad can't wait until his room is done :)

    I hate 5 week months too.

    Have a great day hun xx

    This is only his sleeping room, not his games room! I am going to paint it white when done and have those gold circle stickers so will make it like half wall like a triangle on way done as a design but rest simple and to make it look bigger xx

  • It's none of her business were you get the money from or what you spend it on.

    Sooner you pay back the loan to them the better, it seems like until you do that she is always gonna be asking you about money. Hope I'm wrong!

    Mini monz's room sounds fab!

  • OH for god's sake Monz! As Dolly said, it has sod all to do with her.

    You're sensible with your money and budget accordingly, the sooner your free of the loan the better.
