£15 to put up a curtain rail ...eeek!

i have a deep seated hatred about putting curtain rails up!! If the poles straight the ceiling isn't, if its straight with the ceiling the floor isn't, and then add in the window, the window ledge and a picky wife...

Wow your doing great. End of August sounds like you've really blasted it:0)

Great on the win aswell. Resist a car for as long as possible but im thinking once you get your own place sorted you could use your diy skills to save up extra for a car! It's wee jobs people can't do themselves like curtain poles and loo roll holders you could make a bob or two. My friend paid to get curtain poles put up in a new build property. 15 quid each and 8 windows!

Ya i agree doing lots of small stuff yourself can save loads :]

thanks the win helps pay some of the interest off hehe

Quick update

Got a few things to get done this month

take 4-5 trips to the tip (Done this today) took 3 hours
finish garden off and get it all cleared out
In the garden i may put a patio area at the back while the weather is nice
finish painting few bits inside the house
Order kitchen

Once this is done the carpenter can just get to work next month

It is indeed fire :] feels good now to see it all clear

Iv decided to get a skip for the house to clear the back and front of hardcore and trees
large 8 tone skip is £200
people to come and take just the trees is around £100 and id still be left with the hardcore

so ill get all the hard work done now next week and then order a skip

Have you thought about seeing if anyone on freecycle would take the hardcore?
And the trees?
It often pops up on my local freecycle and it does seem to go - and - it might save you some cash plus get help to clear it!

If they are actual logs you can advertise them on local FB selling page and I'm sure you would get them collected most people with a fire or woodburner would love them
