Our house is now at an acceptable level of decor and basics, we have a new safe kitchen and a good bathroom now. That's taken 5 years to achieve along with decorating throughout.
In that time though because the house was in such poor condition we've barely touched the mortgage or had a holiday.
It's like painting the forth bridge and now my list of things to do seems never ending, we need an extension and the garden needs doing along with two bedrooms needing redecorating and the study plastering.
So my question is at point would you think bugger it and just pay off some of the mortgage, have holidays and give yourself a break ?
It's clear we aren't moving house any time soon. The extension seems unachievable without a windfall of some type, I'm half thinking instead of saving for it, we'll just go out every weekend instead and be out as much as possible.
What do you think ?
