Just making most of the space I have got for storage for now I’m wanting to do a loft conversion and make it into an en-suite bedroom but have no idea how much it would cost. Would need a staircase but in and would need to sort the trusses out so it wouldn’t be a cheap job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would add more than that to the property value tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking to convert mine into a room and therefore be a 4 bedroom house but the cost was a lot less than £20k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Do microwave ovens wear off/lose efficiency over time? Mine is about 10 years old now and I’ve noticed it’s been taking longer that the stated 2m - and now even the a-p adjusted 2m 30s - to nuke my instant porridge in the morning. In keeping with the current vogue of sustainability I don’t know if I should persevere with a suboptimally efficient unit or if I should just bin it and get a new one from Argos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably got old deal seals and is leaking radiation. I'd be more worried about that than winning 30 seconds in the morning. I'd also get my baws checked if I were you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I live on my own in a 2 bedroom flat. Both bedrooms are nice and have their advantages. One is dark and quiet and good for hangovers - the other is a bit larger and has nice views. Is it weird that I sometimes sleep in one room, and sometimes the other? To the point that I wouldn't even call one of them my room? I'm only asking cos I mentioned this at work, and you'd think that I was Jame Gumb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, you never replied to my text about a mod sleepover. A guy at work called me "decadent" cos I made use of both bedrooms. In my 2 bedroom mansion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
