PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Badly painted rough floorboards - look even worse than cheap laminate. I think they spent all their budget on the bathroom then ran out of money0

It will have been because the owners discovered quite what a problem it is trying to recess anything into the lathe-and-plaster walls. I grew up in a very similar house close to that one and Dad used to end up fuming every time he had to go into the walls for anything because the wretched stuff would just fall off in chunks as a result. On the plus side, I'm still a dab hand with a bit of Polyfilla!FreeBear said:joho said:Seriously clashing wallpaper in the bedroom, and is that bathroom 'done'?
