Diary Mortgage Free Road To Change My Life

Kaiser888

Hi Lucky ,

I guess some mrtgage companys do it at a certain time in the month or mine take a week or so to put it through another department. Also my mortgage company a couple of months back tried to change the payment date which i complained and refused about as it was to there advantage not mine and i thought it unfair they sent a letter saying it wouldnt be changed.
Good luck with the farmhouse table and chairs. Your place sounds amazing with all that wood. I hope the table / chairs have something to stop them scratching your nice oak flooring ?

Hey Lucky,

Hope the floor goes down okay today! I bet you can't wait for it to be done. The last sealant coat went on my lounge floor this weekend, I have to say it's the best room yet. The grain in some of the boards is stunning and I find myself just staring at it, I've become some weirdo floor spotter!

Oh god the dreaded sofa hunt, I am with you on that one. I had my heart set on one, only to find it won't actually fit So now I have to go on the hunt and I really can't be bothered. I don't think I can get away with an oversize bean bag forever though so I had better drag myself out.

Good luck in your search!

Been out with DS for last few hours beach bike ride and shopping

Floor guy rang me said the trim i need isn't in stock now so floor will be down today but trim has to wait Typical

(i know there is no rush but just always something):mad:

I guess least the floors will be done is the main thing

Looks great tho :]

Keep an eye on Gumtree for table and chairs - I got a brilliant table and good as new, even though it was 20 years old!

Well done on you £50 OP - hope it goes through fast and motivates you!

I think Firegirls got the MSE idea down with checking gumtree for a table and chairs and Op'ing the saving. Well done Firegirl ! and hello.. sorry im a newbie and have only just started a thread although being a lurker for a couple of years.

Yep i also hope the OP £50 goes through quick too. I bet the floor will look amazing, that i def would like to see.

Your table and chairs are lovely!!!! And a bargin at £350!!!! All you need to do now is stop little people with colouring pencils getting at it!!!

Oh wow they're gorgeous! Love the detailing on the back of the chairs. I actually need a table + chairs for my tiny kitchen but never thought to check gumtree for some reason... I know what I'll be doing come lunch hour!
