Morning all,
What a lovely day today...so am going to put some washing on in a minute and line dry it.
It's DHs day off today and we are going to Preston today for a change and am going to look at the fireplaces again.I think we will probably end up picking which fires and fireplaces we are going to buy.The ones I'm really after are going to cost £7k ....but they are absolutely gorgeous.My heart says get them....my head says go for cheaper...the 7k is for ripping 2 out and all the fitting,building works fitting of fires etc....DH loves them too!!!....
I am really wrestling with this in my head at the moment...will have a discussion with DH when I get him up.

Morning Taxi,

Not a bad day here too.

I know what you mean about the smell. When I used to leave the nightclubs and I was driving home in my car it smelt like i had 5 full ashtrays on my passenger seat, clothes were always straight in the washing machine when I got home.

£7k:eek: :eek: .

Who will win, the devil on your shoulder telling you to get it, or the DFW angel thats kicking the devil in the nuts:D

Seriously though you and your hubby work dam hard and IMO this is improving your house and will be there for years so although the initial outlay sounds big when you take into account the years you are getting from it its not bad at all. Any interest free credit deals on it.......?

Morning ITBS...yes there are interest free deals on it as I got a 15 month deal with virgin cc and the money is on the way to my bank...I'm with you on the opinion that it will last forever....they are shiny black marble....and absolutely gorgeous....I do think the devil will win...maybe!!!...I am going to try and negotiate a discount for cash though...it's only fair..lol..
I will be able to pay it off in the 15 months though along with the other 2 0% cards anyway....it'll put my debt up temporarily but home improvements is good I guess...will post later which has won..the devil or the angel x

Hi I'm back....decided not to spend 7k.....as I saw two more I liked better....the fireplaces are £799 each and the fires £765 each then fitting x2 and 2x corgi certificates=£530 ..so grand total £3658....but the boss is coming to survey at 5.30 pm and may give me a discount!!!!...thats what the salesman said...so have I been debt free wannabee then or have I been a devil or angel...lol
