source a great outdoor table and chairs, twinkly lights and plant pots and plan a great outdoor space to have coffee in the morning or wine in the evening before or after tackling the rooms indoors. I found decorating our patio was far less daunting than a three bedroom house! Its a great place to show off and share with your visitors and to escape to when you are mid-project indoors! And when you do get to it, have fun shopping for the house, but steer clear of light colored sofas if you are planning on having dogs or children.

did Jenny recover the couch too? impressive

just finished series 8 of 24 (on dvd) two years late but OMG. About to borrow series 1 (2,3...) from a friend who is watching again and up to series 5. Puffy eyes? Rogue agents don't need sleep!

when i first saw my kitchen in the real estate photos prior to purchasing I knew I would have to replace the entirely blue kitchen (benchtop, vinyl,cubboards)... that was five years ago, i haven't got further than measuring and people always ask my how my kitchen is coming along....also, have a doorknob-sized whole in a bedroom wall following a door slamming incident - which I refused to fix as my husband had made me so mad at the time...three years ago. Oh, blinds in guest room need replacing as they haven't opened/closed since we bought house... again, five years ago. Sorry guests.

After years of living with shower-over-the-bathtub bathrooms we started looking to buy our first house. I was adamant that I wanted a separate shower, as I was sick of falling over in or out of the bath in my pre-coffee morning showers. Our house has a great sized bathroom with no bath, i have a shower and lots of free space. We don't have kids so not a problem, although it is more difficult to get the dog in the shower than it would be into a bath ha ha

Luke works from home? What a legend!
