I have one feature wall in every room. Only costs about £36 for 3 rolls and some paste in b&q. I change it every year or 2 in livingroom when I get bored. The rest of the walls are cream.Mortgage started August 2020 £69,700

Decided to just stay with all white in the living room. I have a few wee random prints and paintings I have picked up over the years and just going to put them up in there.0

Yeah you can always add things at a later date if you feel like it. When we moved in here we initially done every room white. Then a few years ago I decided I wanted to inject some colour. Then I went back to the white again when I realised how much cheaper it is to just go around the house with a tub of white refreshing everything (I have 3 scruffy kids lol).Mortgage started August 2020 £69,700

So this morning my little Primrose (car) has got something wrong with her. Her engine warning light is on, it was shuddering a bit when I first started the engine then when I was driving the ABS light came on.
Called and got her booked into a VW and Audi local specialist on Monday morning so will be driving as little as possible or even not at all until I am taking it to the garage.
Hoping it's not gonna cost a fortune to fix.

Primrose has a faulty timing chain and it is going to cost me about £600 to fix her.
Going to be off the road for a couple of weeks.
I'll be lost without her.0
