Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

If you know of a local independent supplier, they may have some discontinued stock that could be the same size as your current one.

I've been in the garden & now can hardly move :eek: :rotfl:
If I had any dosh a gardener I would have.
Also got man with van to take some stuff to skip~ tenner well spent & the garage has more space in it :j :j
Today I have paid the deposit for the new kitchen windows.
Hoping that they will be fitted by the end of the month.
I am waiting for the joiner to come back to fix the new-ish conservatory door which I cannot get to open :eek: :mad:
A friend is going to paint garage door when I finally decide on a colour.
I am hoping someone will paint bathroom ceiling which has gone black in places again.

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend.

Beanie - re the bathroom ceiling, I have a similar issue with mine, and indeed all over my very damp flat. I have been using astonish mould & mildew remover (Savers, pound shop, etc etc) after trying frankly EVERYTHING under the sun to get rid of it, same with the grout and the walls. One squirt of that and it literally ran down the walls. I sprayed it on a mop head and rubbed it over the ceiling and it was gone instantly and has taken a year to start coming back! For a pound a bottle it is well well worth it! Green bottle, dark blue spray lid.

If it is a stain coming through, you will need to buy a stain blocker to stop it from coming through the next layer of paint and paint that on first. xx

I'll match you on the gardener and I raise you one cleaner!!! If I could afford it I would gladly pay someone to clean and keep on top of the garden! Sounds like you have had a productive few days though! Just watch you don't over do it!

Noted! I've been using that HG mould remover, which is £6 for a smaller bottle than last year. Thanks for this

Hi Beanie, another late one to the diary. I don't often venture off the DF Diaries but wish you well.
