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.

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"?

Thanks, guys. It's a huge relief and as I was looking round I said, it's not like I'm gonna turn it down, it could have been in a worse state than china and I'd still of taken it LOL.

The bathroom is more than a minor worry, obviously because of my disability it's not suitable. I can use my mum's until it's sorted out but it's not very convenient. It will need new carpets but I think I'll just use lino in the bathroom and kitchen. I considered having the same carpet right the way through.

With regards the 'thingies' (I dunno if they have a proper name or if they're just connectors or something) when they do the kitchens in July they'll be putting them in apparently (I have a friend a couple of blocks over who was telling me). It also have TV points for digi or sky but you still have to pay the subs.

I already have a months worth of undies so I should be ok ;-) LOL.

Thanks again guys. I'm off out now to Mum's Birthday Dinner :-)) We're celebrating a lot today!

Fantastic news Liz :-)

Re plumbing your washing machine in....our council doesn't provide the thingies to plumb your washing machine in because then they'd be responsible for maintaining them. You may find you have to provide the thingies (sure someone knows the technical term lol) and get it plumbed in yourself.
