The great door painting saga appears to be finished!
Now it's a choice of seeing if we want new door furniture or are keeping the existing letterbox, etc.

If I get this flat I have put an offer in for my entire MFW diary for the next 3 years will be about DIY and saving for the restructure...DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
