Morning all, another day in paradise. The dog had been walked, boiled eggs and toast eaten for breakfast. Now I am waiting in for the window inspector (FENSA) to come and inspect the new bathroom windows to make sure they conform to the regulations, whatever they are? The grass will have to be cut today and some general tidying up. Not a busy day today.

Landscape gardening for me, a couple of ton of earth to move, all by hand, all the earth to the left of the fork has got to go in front of my man cave, this is one of my winter projects, this one when the weather is fine, The loft conversion when the weather is shite. got to keep the other half happy, even if it kills me.
Spent the morning dismantling my lathe/miller into component parts to make it easier for my B-i-L to pick up.
He texted about half an hour ago to say that he would not now be coming down this week, as originally planned, but would be here on 15th October.
In other words, we could have stayed away in Cornwall for another week in the caravan. We only cut it short because we thought he was coming this week.

Time for a new missus methinks!

Save your money and sell it as it is. The new owners would most likely rip it all out and redecorate to their own taste.
You might not get the highest price - but think of the hassle you'll have saved yourself.
I've never redecorated any house I've had with the sole purpose of selling it.
Have to agree to a large extent. If there are any particularly "tatty areas" then tart them up but as @Dirk says, it is not likely that the prospective buyer will share your tastes.
Our last house was on the market for ages and we eventually took it off and did some work..........including a (IMO) very nice/expensive hand built stone fireplace. No sooner had we done that when the neighbours uncle knocked to say he wanted it...........cash sale. we were out within 6 weeks. Called back to collect any mail and................................yes..............he had, had our new, expensive fire place removed.
Save your money & your time.
Put the mudguards on and get out there, it's still warm.Forcast today was dry with light wind. So my plan was.............after a couple of errands to run I would mow the gardens then go for a 10 miler.
So why am I sat here watching the rain lashing down
