Oh boy, I drank a lot of coffee, yesterday.
Nerves got the better of me. Phone calls, arguments, trying not to shout. Holding a LOT of anger back.

The buyers of the house have dropped a total of £5k, now.
In the grand scheme of things, £5k isn't all that bad, but realistically it means, for us, a couple of doors, or a couple of windows. And the doors and the windows are definitely things that need replaced.
We spent most of yesterday chatting about possibilities, and ways around this issue, and how best to do organise the way we're going to go about doing things.

Doors first, those are mega important, especially since the rear patio door seems kinda.. .. um.. Not secure at all!!

Then the windows. See if we can get some sort of Economy Grant or something to, at the very least, help to pay for those. They're old fashioned wooden-framed windows, so they definitely need replaced, and hopefully the age of them should help with any kind of grant schemes that may or may not be available.
If not, saving starts here, 'cos by this point we'll have spent all our money on the doors!!

From there, we need to sort the roof out. So another saving period to pay for that, and then there's just the "No bath" issue to get sorted. The room is a wet room and there's a nice shower in there, but my balance issues makes showers impractical.
Bathrooms aren't that costly typically, but I worry that the price of undoing the wet-room stuff might end up being overly expensive again.

But the budget says we should be able to do this, bit by bit, over the next few years.
.. Hopefully.

Now, where's the Caffeinated I.V. drip!?!
