Well the house looks like a florists …but yes , I did get some choccies , some garden ornaments and an afternoon tea box…so I’ve been well and truly spoilt . 🤣🤣🤣
not experienced in renovating, but looks a strong guy if he can adapt
@Baz posted:Oh this is a different guy
yes this is the other guy who is normally on when Simon isn't
@Baz posted:Bathroom fittings …and a builder ….they should be ok then 🤣🤣
yes especially as this a repeat so probably filmed when prices were going up
(think I have seen it before but, as usual can't remember it)....
@Baz posted:Well the house looks like a florists
aaaww what a lovely selection of gifts....how nice 
I love garden ornaments? what was it?
@Baz posted:I’ve not seen it 🤣🤣🤣But if you want to change channels I don’t mind 😁😁
gosh no, I love this renovation show and i can't remember the outcome..
@Baz posted:State of that garden 😱😱
ours was like that when we moved in...its not now though, thanks to MrM;s work and a lot of shopping in B and Q
@Baz posted:Three Cyril solar lights 🤣🤣And a spinning silver coloured mobile 🤣🤣
that is brilliant...I am sure Cyril will appreciate that...
@Baz posted:Only 10k …not a big budget
no... looks like its mostly cosmetic as the guy said it was sound structurally
@Baz posted:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣awwww …..if I go to B&Q any time in the future I’ll take my Mollie/ Dolly with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
good idea, she will keep you company
@Baz posted:Oh dear , some damp
looks like only a small patch , so hopefully should be easy to rectify
@Baz posted:Oh and I forgot , I got some cash , and an M&S voucher ….part of which I’ve already spent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
how nice....
what did you buy?
not another duvet cover?
@Baz posted:
aaawww how sweet...a reminder to you that you have lots of friends who care for you, so you are not really alone
@Baz posted:
good idea to be prepared, autumn chill will be upon us fast enough
can't believe all those freebies...if they saved £17k, then they couldn't have done this for £10k!
@Baz posted:No 😱😱😱can’t believe they would have got them except for the show!
exactly
maybe they thought they could advertise "as seen on C4"?
@Baz posted:Yes ….i also have a little teddy I take with me that another forummer sent me last year .
aaaww that's nice
@Baz posted:Knocking down a wall seems an unnecessary expense to me!
yes they are making it complicated as they think they can get so much for free...
@Baz posted:That’s what you get for expecting it for nothing 🤣🤣🤣
exactly
you can't expect anything for nothing
@Baz posted:No, especially not when they are on a time limit 🤣🤣🤣
snap...they can't afford to wait around for tradesmen
@Baz posted:I just went outside , and it’s very humid out there now ! Have you had any thunderstorms ….

@Baz posted:They are going to be well over their budget !
yes

We had some rain first thing , and it was very overcast all morning , but it’s sunny at the moment ….so cue another uncomfortable night .🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣I didn’t go for a walk today either , cos people kept texting me to say I was expecting a delivery .🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aaaww what a lovely reason to not go for a walk
@Baz posted:With any luck this was filmed when the market was good
yes I think nearly all of the eariier ones made money because of the market...
@Baz posted:Not half …too cocky by half
yes the freebie guy is a bit of a big head
@*mollie* posted:Aaaww what a lovely reason to not go for a walk
True 🤣🤣But I am going a bit stir crazy 🤣🤣🤣Still I’ll go out and water the plants after this , so that will give me some fresh air 🤣🤣🤣Mind you , it’s a good job the recycle bin gets emptied tomorrow cos it’s full of cardboard boxes now 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

LOL...how nice
good idea to get out in the garden after this 
I like early evenings in the garden when its been warm
yes agent said it was a sellers market round that time...
its not now...2 sales have fallen through recently on our estate (I thought they were priced too high though)...
@Baz posted:They ain’t going to make a very big profit ….145 , plus 15 , then there are all the fees ….
he wants 210 though and in a sellers market,??
a good profit for not a lot perhaps?
@Baz posted:Yes, it’s definitely a buyers market at the moment ….if they can get a mortgage !
true. not easy to get a mortgage on the rubbish wages now ...and the short contracts many have...
@Baz posted:I’ve got another delivery coming this evening , apparently …..I hope it’s before or after my bath.🤣🤣🤣
how nice...
you could postpone the bath, as you don't want to miss a Birthday delivery
and you MUST NOT run down the stairs!!!

Plus interest rates are still a bit high
yes higher than they were, but appartently this 5% is nearer to the norm than the very low rates they did have recently ...
the finish is awful
no wonder they only got 1 offer from 20 viewings
