Ally you've still got a bit to do then!
I've just got back from my Flat. Have been there since 07.30 this morning. Did have a hour off for lunch tho! I'm just working flat out to get mine done now!
Left for me to do is: Fit Kitchen, redecorate store cupboard/ study (its huge!) decorate hall since its been plastered and deorate spare bedroom since its been plastered. Need to fit swicthe covers and plug covers.
Ally my mates keep asking me why it isn't done yet! I don't think they realise how much work is involved in redoing a 2 bed flat!
Will get ics up soon! Oh yeah need to sort carpet throught too!

It does take time, you've got kids too.
I find it hard ennough balancing work, and the girlfriend around DIY.
