Ill book a train ticket if you are definitely going

So ladies.... if you are going to IDH.... could you sort out the rest of my house as it is doing my head in.

We need:

2 large bi fold doors
2 normal doors
2 large very nice doors
whatever is going to connect to the underfloor heating
2 stoves
some thing like an aga which costs £1.50
and everything else for the inside of a house.... :D:D:D i.e. bathrooms, internal doors, sockets/light switches, light fittings etc....

ooh and can you do the colour schemes, I get totally overwhelmed when doing a full house... it always ends up white.

I wanted a gold bedroom, but have gone off this idea (after watching some 1st flight video's.... the gold did my head in!).

Thanks, you help will be greatly appreciated!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ooh and I have no money to do this....lol

Oooh, would love a house to do from scratch. Been in quite a few houses belonging to millionaires/multi millionaires (clients) and have often thought I would do things differently. If I had a whole house to do I would have rooms from different eras, a very austere library, snug lounge, classy dining room, very modern kitchen, that sort of thing, everything would be different And I would have a room full of tables made for my chess sets

There is a good sized study (that is as far as it has got).

A very large lounge with a massive inglenook, large doors to the back, and two windows to the front, I want two large sofa at 90 degree to the fireplace facing each other and a coffee table (that is as far as I have got).

The dining room, I like the idea of classy dining. It is rather too big for just a dining room, but I am going to be firm and make sure it remains a dining room.

The kitchen is massive, 9 metres by 15 metre with a sun room 4 x 5 off it (I think the measurements are right... but I am rubbish). It has two inglenooks, one for a wood burner and one for a cooking stove - the rough cupboard lay out has been decided as the pipes for the underfloor heating had to go in... but nothing else!

There is also a utility/machine room.....

I totally give up with the upstairs (I think I will just do our room...:D) The project has taken 30 years to get this far.... and I have run out of energy. lol

Finally got round to updating my frocking total.

Most of my adds I'm afraid are from comfort eating as have been having a bit of autumn blues like Naebirrac. So have added £3 for my visit to the cafe for tea and cake last week. Then spent £4.10 on cakes for the weekend from M&S and I probably ate the majority. :eek: I craved fish and chips and it's not the same doing yourself but me and Mr TS shared a portion just upgraded the cod to large and added curry sauce/mushy peas, £8.90. Think I did well to get 3 weeks in to the challenge without any before then to be honest. :rotfl: Meal out in town for me £8.65 as was on my own one day, DD3 is at DD1s for the week and Mr TS was working in London couldn't cope with staring at the walls until 11pm.

Then £20 Noah's ark, £13.02 wine to check out how the sparks discounts worked , plus couple whoopsied aubergines. Will be using the wine for presents as they are fair trade ones. :cool:

And the only thing that was a necessity was my £2 loo rolls from SD along with 11p for 3 if those 37p RTC face washes as they had restocked, I used £1 worth of points to bring the cost down.

I cannot say I have done well except for keeping away from the supermarkets. I think I would have spent more if had gone to tesco or Asda rather than M&S for my cake, as I would have bought other bits and pieces.

Mr TS has embraced frocking at the thought of emptying one of the freezers, he has been out and done something I was putting off and written a full inventory. :eek:

So I think for me now the month is nearly over and I have a more realistic idea of a total. I'm going to carry on in November and try and keep spending to around the £200 mark. When I think what I have bought that is included for this month I haven't done bad. :cool:

You do realise we spend most of our time in the food and wine section?

And the lovely Xmas market they have...

Chicken and lamb?

On a serious note, Nectar are running on offer where you get randomly awarded from 250 to 25000 (I think this is the top total) for internet orders (like the ones they do in store over the odd weekends). Go onto their site, and click the links. Although it highlights no minimum spend, it appears that Nectar are ignoring this comment and only awarding on £1+. There are/were loads of things just over a £1. My postman just told me he is going on holiday with the number of parcels brought to my house!

There are things just over £1 but does that include delivery? Xx

I'm not sure, I have been getting things with free delivery (curry, the beauty store, and posh socks!)
