Aye we'd a 50p leccy metre in the garage of our house as a kid, mum used to give us the bag of 50p's to go put in, it's amazing how many I dropped and kicked under the freezer in my time! Such slippery wee b*ggers those! lol

Jen, I feel your pain. We put those doors into one of our houses. We bought them unpainted thinking it would be an easy job to do them ourselves. We were wrong

Unfortunately when I bought this house as a newbuild I was on a budget, or I'd have got him to stick real pine doors in....aw well....that first door wasn't too bad and is actually looking spot on....it'll be grand lol

Good luck with the rest of the decorating. I've only recently finished redecorating my house. Hard work, but worth it in the end.

I've been decluttering already, and will be doing so in the classroom for 2 to 3 days over the summer! 'BIN, BIN, BIN!!!'

We've been passing on all of our potentially more valuable clutter onto some good friends who can do with the extra cash that they can make from car booting. But also loads of stuff is going into the bin. Funny, we feel so unburdened now that much of it is gone and the house seems bigger too!
