Minus £2400 this month!:eek:
This was due to decorating including new wood floor and carpet and new lights. It was three and a half grand including labour which seems ridiculous for a hallway/stairs. It's not like spending that on a sitting room or bathroom where you really enjoy the difference its made.
I will be moving the telly and sofa into the hallway in order to fully appreciate all the effort and cost.

Of all areas in houses, this is the most difficult, fiddly and expensive, just because of all the awkward bits and pieces. I remember painting all the finials on a staircase at a previous house. The wallpaper was absolutely the worst bit and that sounds like good value to me, compared to my potential grumpy-o-meter if I had done it myself!

Thanks, Suffolk Lass, that makes me feel better! You're quite right about the hall/stairs being the most fiddly Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:

Did you get my update SF?
Nothing showing for June, if not it was £1080.00, had a credit card to pay off with a maturing regular saver, so this is the difference
