Our first house, a semi, was £3000, but we went mad and had loads of extras like real wooden doors, fitted wardrobes, tiling etc which pushed the price up to £3395! Felt like a huge mortgage! We couldn't afford the detached houses nearby. They were nearly £5000! image
We couldn't afford stair carpet at first, so we had a book of carpet samples and had a different colour on each tread!image We thought we were "cool"!
