Hello guys,

Okay so some people on here are aware that theres been a few changes happening in my life....

Now I am very pleased to say that over the past six days I have proved myself hugely resourceful... both practically and emotionally.

BUT and its a big but - I have an achilles heel. I can't or to be honest won't do DIY.

I have moved into a small room in a house with a friend....and have bought a single piece of art to mark the occasion. Could someone hang it - my friend can't help as she asks my (soon to be ex) to hang all her paintings. For a bottle of wine would someone bring round a hammer (or drill or whatever one requires) and put up my rather significant new piece?

Pms please... and any discussion advice you have to offer is welcome too on this thread.

Thank you so much Giggirl and Moos for your kind words.


It makes such a huge difference to actually customise a room... I imagine it's why teenagers spend so much time organising what's on their walls. I'm rather liking the idea of being a grown up teenager!

Seriously I left before and spent six months refusing to do anything to my room in a shared house - cause it was temporary until I found a place of my own. No wonder I got depressed and gave up - my new philosophy is that this new place is my home, maybe for a week, maybe a month, maybe six months... and that making the effort to get my single room welcoming and lovely is a real act of healing and moving on.

Hoorah!

Dearest BB - sorry but I retract my earlier offer. It's for your own good. My mate saw it and said that it sounded like you'd been in the wars enough already without me coming round and laying some dodgy DIY on you.


There are other things at which I excell. Buying a round for example - I'm always good for that.

Oh Chav I think I will stick with finding out about masonary nails for the time being....unless that was a euphemism? I'm such a innocent (she says with wide eyes and her usual butter wouldn't melt expression)


Giggirl - fair enuff, if u r coming on Friday mine will be a gin and tonic!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
