As I have already told folks on our forum, my house has been a tip for over 2 years. All have listened to me abnging on endlessly about the stress of all the building work that was going on.
Now, after 2 years, it is finally finished.
Brand new Kitchen.
Brand new bathroom.
Brand new flooring.
Brand new Fire-place.
Whole lounge gutted and all furnature replaced with 2 chocolate brown expensive leather sofa's that Yes, we clean every day.
Over £2,000 spent on lounge furanture alone.
Nearly £2,000 on the back patio.
No, we didn't rob the local branch, it was well invested policies that matured. (After giving Gordon Brown 40% in Tax).
Yes, we can all brag about what lovely new furnature we have, but most folks here are not so shallow as to care.
As an ex-saleswoman, I have been in many many homes in my life and I have always found that the the nicest folk come from homes with clutter.
You can have an immaculate house but be a very sad, lonely individual inside it.
