You can get shutters now that are fitted inside the window instead of blinds or curtains.

They look lovely but my worry is that in the winter it could be cold without curtains.


But they do look good.

Could you not have curtains too, assuming shutters were fitted within window recess? We could do with some at front of house in summer, when we get one that is. The heat can be quite unbearable at times, due to the type of double glazing we have. Has some sort of gas in the space between inner & outer pane. Boy when that heats up it's scorching!

I have curtains and blinds in some rooms and in our bedroom, blinds, nets and curtains.

Neighbours opp have wooden blinds can't remember the make but they look 'wrong' in our type of house  ::)

OK - a lad wins £13,600 on Bingo - what would you spend £15,000 on?

I think I've covered most of my desires here already  ::) - don't need new kitchen or bathroom, good quality flooring in the ground rooms would be nice ..........

Would that be recliners?  In leather or fabric?

I wouldn't have leather for a gift!  Can't tell if it's plastic or leather  ::)

We have recliners - trouble is, once reclined, we can't reach the land-line so had to buy walk around phones  ;D

I'm looking on-line at houses in Lugano over-looking the Lake.  Of course ........  ;D

How often do you have a new toilet bowl and flush?

What would be a deal breaker when buying a property?

4 me it would be a kitchen sink looking onto a wall  >:( - I wouldn't consider that, it has to look at a view or a garden.
Also, I would never consider a downstairs bathroom unless there's a loo/basin upstairs or the room to put one in.

Garden being really overlooked, by a main road, under a flight path, no downstairs toilet, next to a pub, next to a school/nursery, in a busy town/city, near an abattoir, next door to my extended family, near a brewery, no off road parking - Oh my list goes on and on  ;D

A bathroom with a see-through roof so that I can see the stars whilst soaking would B lovely.

I've had one of those. Electrical fault on the electricity supply cable that runs through the barn with 700 bales of hay in... fire brigade were there all day putting it out... not much left of the bathroom roof. Not much fun at night but nice lying in the bath on a sunny day with a plastic sheet for a roof.
