1 put shelf rails and shelves at each end of the dinning room cupboard
(finaly started that
yesterday).

...

11 wonder what i missed on the list as something always gets forgotten.


1) Move into new (to me) flat (12 days ago). It's 4 years old.

2) Buy/fit bathroom (1) cupboard - done.
3) Buy/fit bathroom (2) mirror - done.
4) Buy/fit 2 * toilet roll holders - done (how do people live without
these?).
5) Buy/fit towel ring - done (other bathroom has standing rail).
6) Fix living room curtain rail that was hanging off because stupid numpty
previous owner hadn't drilled the screw holes deep enough - done.
7) Buy/fit LR curtain/lampshades - done.
8) Buy/fit narrow (17cm) bookcases in hallway - half done. Unfortunately
this size only comes in cheep and nasty design, but the size requirement
trumps all other considerations.
9) Buy/fit extra shelf in each of 4 kitchen cupboards - done. -Thanks B&Q
cutting service!
10) Raise shelf in storage cupboard (1) as it was in the wrong place - done.
11) Fix hooks on wall of storage cupboard (2) to hold bike out of the way.
12) Buy/fit shelf below bike to cover other stuff.
13) Replace the stupid phallic cupboard lamp fittings that are going to get
broken if I don't find something that fits flat (or is recessed). Oops one
gone already.
14) Buy/fit nice wooden bath panel to replace the awful, tacky, plastic
thing that the builders fitted. - Bought, awaiting cutting to size -
unfortunately I didn't take the exact measurement to B&Q!
15) Buy/fit curtain rail in bedroom (1) for curtains that I already have.
The EA picture suggests this was a 14.99 item, why did she take it with her?
Currently using some blackout material held up with nails. Bedroom (1) not
highest priority.
16) Buy/fit replacement lock barrel or additional lock because the numpty
owner didn't give me all the keys back (see earlier thread).
17 Paint over disgusting purple feature-wall from previous numpty (she left
the tin in the cupboard in case I wanted to touch up. Um no, that's in the
bin already!)
18) Fix all the poorly filled holes from other stuff that she took down and
repaint walls - fortunately these are white!

Um...

did I mention

unpack 60 boxes and find home for contents

ah the painfull memories of moving into a new home. i had 20 boxes that where just paperbacks. i
thought they'd all been unboxed and put on shelves bar 1 box in the bedroom and a pile about 3' high
by 2' deep on my side of the bed. not sure what to do about those. i found another when clearing out
one end of the cupboard. the mrs and i read a lot so we have LOTS of books.

seems like you have a lot of work to get on with. my local b&q doesn't have a cutting service, so if
i buy something i know it needs to be cut i go to homebase, first cuts free and 50p per extra. the
blackout thing reminded me i have to discuss with the mrs what to do about curtains or blinds in the
kitchen

move 60 empty boxes to loft space.
