My journey to a debt free life

I need ideas to transform my living room so if you find somewhere, please share x

I like to put battery-operated lights in a glass vase: I'm hopeless at draping them but a vase shows them off and is harder to trip over. I agree they look lovely whichever way they're displayed, though1

Thanks SA. I'll pop some pics of my current living room in my diary tomorrow. It's looking pretty empty!

DD2 has saved some coloured bottles from her work ( think Tar*uins gin blue / Gor*on’s  gin green)  washed them out thoroughly and put battery operated fairy  lights inside- looks really effective.

We used some nice bottles with battery operated fairy lights as centrepieces and decorations in our living room and conservatory over Christmas and they look lovely.  Flowers or greenery in a vase look lovely and to be MSE  you can pick stuff from the garden or hedgerows. Can't beat candles either.

Wow your fairly lights and twig tree look lovely SA 🙂. I'm keeping up my fairy lights until the spring this year to cheer me up, mine are red berry lights which go all around our picture rail and meet up in the middle. They give a lovely warm glow. I like the green colour of your walls SA.

OBL I think in tier 3 all shops can open but pubs, restaurants and coffee shops can only serve takeaway food and drinks. I think that's the case anyway 🤔, it's very confusing! Crowded places terrify me at the moment  😱.

I think eating more vegetables is a good idea OBL and I should follow your example. I'm another vegetarian that doesn't eat many vegetables 🤣, although I do eat a lot of fruit and follow a wholewheat, low fat diet mostly.

I like the sound of that, I've gotta nice tall thin vodka bottle that would look good with lights in,I need to drink the vodka first though 😀

I've got a hurricane lamp on my coffee table with a large candle inside it,I might see what that looks like with some lights inside 😊
