You alright @WinterWarrior ? Hoping your absence is because you've saved so much in your car fund that you're extremely busy perusing Lamborghinishttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Thinking of you WW and hoping all is well. (((hugs))) XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -
Hi everyone, all is fine, but decorating is taking over my non working life 😧 Sadly the car fund has taken a bit of a battering this month so no Lamborghini in my near future 😭
Next month I will try harder!I have 3 rooms finished now and have ordered curtains, paper and paint for the living room. Sadly every time I do one room, the one next to it looks very shabby indeed.How are you all?Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I feel you - we’ve done a complete redo of our house since the beginning of the year. Electrics and new central heating meant we’ve needed all walls and ceilings replastered, plus new carpets, skirting, coving etc. we are finally in the home straight with just the living room and hallway to do - work starts next week. Desperately hoping we will have it all redecorated, carpeted and floored by the end of November…
The kitchen hasn’t been redone (will take a couple of years to finance), but I’ve painted all the kitchen cabinets, the walls etc. I feel as though if I’m not working, I’m painting!On the positive, no artexed ceilings in sight, consistent skirting, coving, painting pretty much everywhere! Garden next year 😂5 -
Glad all is well, well done on all your productivity. The Lamborghini can wait a few months 😁https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
