Thanks girls, I am so chuffed.

Nope, wasn't me, Caz, LOL ;-)

Crazed woman? Where? I was in Debenhams today and didn't see one PMSL

Dee, thanks hun, how are the pups?

Haven't stopped grinning all night about it. Told my niece I have a nice cupboard that she'll be able to come and stay in LOL.

House warming will be a while off on account of all the work that needs doing.

Right then, decor debating.... (cream?) carpet throughout (except kitchen & bathroom) or laminate flooring throughout (including kitchen but not bathroom)?

Living room I'm thinking of bottom half in a nice blue and top half in cream.
Hallway same cream as top half of lounge
Bathroom blue
Bedroom lilac-y

What colour can I do my kitchen and "study"?

great news -hope you will be happy in your new home ,

Soooooooooooo happy for you, brings back memories, have a happy life in YOUR flat and look upon it as a blank canvas for you to put your mark upon it, 21 today, good luck, I have a very good feeling about this XX Bless you XX. Gillian Jennifer XX.

Was informed this evening that it's not illegal (I blame the rogue traders programme for my misinformation) just ill advised LOL.

We did mum and dad's present kitchen a pale green, not sure I could do it again, but it's a small room with no window. At the moment it's completely undecorated so anything will be an improvement and we do have some green left. Hmm.

Glad to hear your news and enoy!

Fantastic news

I am so pleased for you.

Enjoy

Thank you all :-))

When I've got it all done out I should put picks up on the next gen board LOL.

Hmm, study or store cupboard...tough choice LOL.

Oooh Lemon Sorbet for the kitchen? LOL

great news hope you soon have it looking lovely xx

I only just saw this, doh, saw Daff's 4 good things thread and had to hunt for this, I am so chuffed for you Liz.
Have lots of fun decorating and stuff.

I bet your Mum's birthday was absolutely brill and the best day to get the news. What did you buy her in the end?

There is a lovely shade of minty green, sort of very pale jade that looks really clean and crisp in kitchens. I suggested it to son's girlfriend, now ex, and she did it and it looked lovely.

Hi Liz,

thanks hun, didn't see you last night so figured you weren't around til later/early. In the end I gave mum money towards her sofabed fund, a coaster with "worlds greatest 60 year old" on it (would have been a mug but she was less likely to use that) and a little tin watering can that she can put her sofabed fund money in...when she's got it she can use it for watering little house plants LOL. She collected £150 towards the sofabed so a pretty good haul. Just got back from the works birthday party for her and they've done her one of their uniform T-shirts with her name and 60 embroidered on front and then all of them have signed it. Was a good evening and I was chatting up one of the boys ;-)

I like that sort of green, but we just did something similar in mum & dad's current one so I was thinking of pale yellow.

Am going for laminate flooring throughout (except kitchen and bathroom).

I signed the tenancy today and now have

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee yiyay :-) I have to move in by the 14th, so lots of hard work to do this week. I might not be around much LOL.

oh im so pleased for you liz have been reading your threads
thats so fantasic
All the best in your new home
lov emx

I bet it will look like a little palace Summer Scribe.......you will have fun making it your own......x

Thanks :-) It will be a scramble to get it habitable in 9 days but my family are wonderful so we will do our damn hardest to get it looking lovely.

The debate between carpet and laminate has been raging LOL. I was going to go with carpet to take the strain off my wonderful brother, but just when I'd decided that, mum mentioned to him and he said if I wanted laminate that he would do it. He's worked his bottom off on the bungalow for mum and dad, we'd have been so stuck without him.

summer my brain is jelly ive been on the road all day - did you get it - I tried to read back but my brain isnt working? Please tell me you got it.

I did :-) :-) :-) it needs a lot of work though!

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo

Whens the paint brush PARTY?

Summer. I haven't been around much lately, but was so happy to read this thread.
Congratulations to you, and I wish you many happy days and nights in your flat.
Once you get it to your own liking, it will feel just like home.
