I was offered a three bedroom and I have accepted. I'm due to move in monday and I was only given the chance to view it today and it's an absolute dive. It smells like a damp ash tray. The walls are ripped cupboards and doors are chipped and the tile floor in the kitchen has cracks in it!
I am responsible for carpeting the whole house. I have a 5 year old, a 1 year old and a 4 month old. I don't have much money to spare. But I need to get it safe at the very least.
I am not very thrifty or creative. Was just wondering if anyone out there has any tips for me?
How can I turn a dump into a lovely home on a VERY tight budget?? Haha
I know people do it. I've seen so many beautiful council homes in my life time. But I'm not very good at this sort of thing!!
