So I have just been informed I am inheriting £5k shortly and the person I am inheriting it from would like me to spend it on the house (rather than pay off bills and live off it)
I currently live with my DP in a house I am not overly in love with but for work reasons I had to move in with him rather than vice versa.
We have done the kitchen and the bedroom up and decided last night to do up the living room on a tight budget (£500) which we are still going to stick with.
That leaves us with a couple of jobs we could spend the money on.
We need a new front door quite desperately and only have double glazing in our kitchen so double glazing would be great and of course would add value.
The other job we are desperate for is the bathroom, we had large plans to extend but we are never going to have the money so have persuaded DP to do that on a budget too. At the moment it has a green suite, purple carpets, no shower, wallpaper. It truly is as bad as that sounds and if I want a shower I have to drive to my parents house!! I don't think I take much more of baths!
We could rejig the bathroom and get a bath with overhead shower in (I would just have a shower but DP loves his baths!)
Is there anyway in the world we can get those both done for £5k or am I dreaming? Could we maybe do 2 windows and the front door and then the bathroom?
