Thanks Guys - hubby isnt actually a professional but we just couldnt afford to get it done by the builder so we found a bricklayer who agreed to teach him how to do it and in return he was his Labourer ... saved us money and now hubby is building small garden beds out the front. Everyone wins!

Hey K - I cant believe you have been in for 10 weeks. That is so so great, you must be happy with that. I cant wait to come round and have a look, your decoration ideas have totally whetted my apetite and I must see the lounge suite and the designer kitchen. Hope all is well with you. I was thinking...

I dont know McLaren - White shutters on white walls and light carpet might be just too much white. Personally I think a theatre should be dark but again - thats just my warped sense of taste. Even if you do go for a light theatre you are going to need some sort of contrast between the white. Maybe i...

Kay - I can't believe how quickly your build is going, its amazing you will be moving in soon. I personally am very excited for you - me, I can't yet see a light at the end of my tunnel. As for the vaccuming - I am hoping that I will have one of those wonderful little roomba robotic vaccum cleaners ...
