There's still so much that I've not spoken about in regards to mine and Spud's not so new home, and I hope to be able to tell you all about it one day in more detail. On the short, I'm sure you've all read a number of post now talking about the state of the house and how much work it needed and still needs doing.
When I first moved here, I thought about giving up one the first day, I couldn't see the potential like everyone else, all I could think about was Christmas being one month away, and the Christmas we would be having in a house like this, but thanks to my family and Asda, we now have a beautiful and perfect front room.

Once the wall paper was stripped off the walls, and the coven taken down, this was our lounge. |

Showing before and after photo's to people can allow them to see the kind of state the lounge was in, but seeing it in real life (in person) would make you understand why I just hope, but thanks to hard work from my family, and some wonderful gifts from Asda, I'm going to show you how you too can transform a wreck into a home!
I didn't actually know how much George (a brand from Asda) sold, until I looked on their website, I was under the impression for so many years that they only done clothing, so I was surprised to find that they do a whole lot more than just clothing as I thought. They sell decorating items such as painting equipment and tools, wall paper, paint.

With a very big thank you to Asda, me and Spud was able to celebrate Christmas in our new home, knowing we had the lounge decorated and sorted at least!
