Decoration is really personal so someone having a different taste to me is fine. My problem with council/housing association properties is that everything is usually stained brown as the tenants seem to always smoke like chimneys and have pets that urinate on every surface, and they are never cleaned before you move in even if they tell you they have been. The kitchens and bathrooms are always a good decade old and falling apart but won't be replaced for another 15 years too.

Aww you've really done a great job. When i moved in 13 years ago my hse it was in a really bad way. The housing did quite a bit like re wiring, new floor boards, removng gas fires from bedrooms, double glazing etc but there was still a lot to do. You've really inspired me to look at tiling myself as i really want to do the bathroom and kitchen. Keep up the great work

Hey there hun, I no it may feel overwhelming especially if this is your first property, but take your time Rome was not built in a day and I totally understand the struggle being single with 4 children , having a small business and also receiving government help , it’s not a lot and it ain’t easy my dear, but you will get there keep watching these DIY videos on a budget and you can do it but trust me hun there is no rush. I think you can get advance payments from government to help with furniture and appliances so look into that and as for friends sometimes it’s best because must don’t want your best interest at heart:.. just stay strong and you will get there 😘
