Doors can be bought quite cheap, it is the other bit that put the prices up it does make a huge difference to the look of a place though.

Yep. Was looking at Wickes,etc and can get nice white 6 panel doors and fittings very reasonably, but it will be a joiners time fitting. 6 room doors plus walk in cupboard and wardrobe with same size doors so 8 in total. I will get round to it soon.

Morning all fellow members, another grey day here. The Christmas decorations are coming down today, I know about the 12 days and all that, but we have had enough of them .
MrsP is off to lunch later with a couple friends so once again it is me and the mutt.
I am going to cook a hearty vegetable soup today as I am well down on the nutritional stuff over the last week or so.

We've got no decorations to take down, as we don't put any up.

I'm badly needing to replace mine. Still got the ancient sapele doors that may well be the originals when the house was made. Lol. Not even sure if they could be painted, but barely worth it given their age. I think I may have to get a joiner in at some point and get some new ones.

My Bro recently moved into an older house. He had someone take the doors away, strip them and apply some natural coating.
I think he is sorry he didnt just buy new ones.

That sounds nice. It seems ages since we sat down to a proper meal.

Morning all.
I had a rare 'bad,' sleep last night until about 0500 when I chucked the top cover off. Much better.... I must have got too hot.
I may force myself to go for a walk later and try to work up an apetite.

To the kitchen doesn't count.

Just found something to do, about 30 minutes ago I walking into the dining room to find the ceiling dripping water, lots of it, I am sure this is never a good sign as it is even coming out of the coveing joints.

Central heating pipe/radiator above leaking. Or maybe a from the bathroom?

Bathroom, I hope.

I'm sat in the Hatton Locks cafe with a bacon sandwich and a coffee, dropped the car off on the way out and now waiting to hear from the garage.
