Thank you, I'll look into it a bit more. I'm thinking of leaving it til later.savingholmes said:With the heated towel rail consider if you want one that is linked to your heating only or one with electric power as well. I went for the first which was cheaper but regretted it a little later. The other thing to beware of is that they usually aren't as warm as a radiator would be. They look lovely though.

You do so well with juggling all that you do.
I remember when redundancies were on the cards in our office. It changes the whole atmosphere at work.
Getting the bathroom done sounds like an excellent idea.

Personally I wouldn’t leave it until later; if you’re having bathroom done get it all done same time with what you wantjwil said:

It's on a wall which we will need to get plastered separately, so I'm not sure which is better to come first. I'll speak to him next week.MFWannabe said:
