Last owner mounted tv off centre annoyingly as wires don't reach socket otherwise, so going to extend power cable, and put tv central.

Happy otherwise, even if flash has made light purple wall look pink

We have grey walls and the contrast with the wood works well, imo.

Booked to view a couple of houses in a better area. One has a massive garage and the other is a new build that maybe we can do a decent deal on.

I wanted another CCTV camera as there have been a load of camper vans going missing recently and the coverage on the drive wasn't great..

So I took a punt on a Hikvision Clone PTZ IP camera which was stupidly cheap.. Its pretty bloody amazing
