I have finally finished my house this weekend and its being valued on thursday. I'll start a new thread after that.

:| a 1800 wide venetian blind, trimmed down 150 i think they are gunna notice as the box is clear :lol:

We bought some curtains for the living room pation doors in summer. I measured them up wrong and got them adjusted 3 inches too short. My mrs packaged them up and took them back to the shop saying she doesn't want them anymore.

Then I went in and bought another pair. Thats how you do it :thumbs:

5 venetian blinds bought and fully fitted by me is £60 :! :lol: even if the one in the living room is 2 inches short on the length... so people can still kinda see in :mad: :lol: :(

For the blinds in my new house I got a company in aswell....5 roller blinds and one vertical made and fully fitted was £305...

I ran a hoover round the place and changed my shower curtain

My excuse is that I'm ill (and I'm lazy)

:lol:

I got someone in to measure the windows and fit blinds. Was quite cheap too i thought, £120 for 4 windows.

Did the same for carpets too, i'm not right good with numbers :lol: Didn't wanna spend stupid amounts of money and then realise i'd fucked right up :|

I managed to clean up this weekend, that's about it. Spent rest of the time messing around with the computers lol. But i'm looking at moving in 8 - 12 months if i can and this flat is as good as i'm gonna get it. Wanna buy something new next time, saves all the messing around. Took me 2 years to sort my place out.

:lol::lol:

Cosmo it was 1800 wide, trimmed 150 off, cant be made any smaller and dont have any other window bigger than 1200 in the whole house :lol::lol:



:( doh

i bought one years ago, need an inch off the end, its still in the corner waiting to be put up

Getting a new bathroom in a couple of weeks hopefully but might call someone in to help cos I dont fancy playing around with the electrics for the shower. I wanna get a shower like my mums with the tank and pump in the attic, and then all you have in the cubicle is a control button and the shower head, its like a waterfall :thumbs: Get rid of the bath, big walk in shower etc...

Were having out bathroom done at the minute. Bath was fitted today so I can finally have a wash without going to someone else's house :lol: :o

:lol::lol: Time to find a smaller window to use it on then!!

I just sorted everywhere out as hopefully going to put this place on the market or rent it out soon and move up in the world.

Fitted a new extractor fan in my kitchen :)

And cleaned up

I will post pics later but....

Bought a silver venetian blind for my front window, meaured up, bought it, took time trimming down the edges and cutting the slats etc...

To find that its 2 - 3" too short :| I can't believe i made a mistake like that :lol::lol:

On the other hand my dad came up today and we fixed a radiator richie had pulled off the wall (wasnt on properly and we didnt know, one day he pulled it and the whole thing just came off the wall :lol: ) and i put some blinds up :! :lol:

Did anyone else do much this wknd? ... apart from neoquip who took a whole fecking extension down, making me feel less proud of my massive achievements :lol:
