I didn’t think of this - you’re right this house wasn’t built with central heating, but the bathroom has a radiator now, but maybe she just liked the carpet so kept it? It’s funny because we had a few weird patches of different plaster in the wall when we stripped the wallpaper back & wondered wtf it was, apparently every single room would have had a fireplace?! I can’t imagine how hot that would be?!
I love discovering bits about the house, would love to live in a Victorian house where it would be SO interesting, but have heard really bad things about how expenses can tail spin & how impractical the room size / shapes are.
Get some popcorn...Ahhh I’ve had to give up I’ve proper fucked that up but how gorgeous you all are
I need to go and Grunka, she’s back then I take it
When I was at school I had a friend who had (well her parents had...) not only a fluffy loo lid cover, but a fluffy seat cover So youput your bum on fluff when you went for a wee..or worse!Yes, the toilet mat was there to catch the pee drips!
Truly the 80s were a different time...
My granny had a pink bathroom set... toilet, bath and sink. With a fluffy pink carpet, pink fluffy loo cover and pink fluffy rug! And it stank of talcum powder 
She was a divorcee too so maybe living her 70s glam fantasy out as best she could in a small 2 bed mid terrace
I'm glad, we, as a wider society, have moved on from this interior design nonsense.

my grandparent's had this awful kind of muted green coloured set in the house they had when I was little. And that weird wallpaper (no idea what it is called) that has like bubbles? in it, kind of almost like bubblewrap but less full. I vividly remember scratching at the bubbles. awful.My granny had a pink bathroom set... toilet, bath and sink. With a fluffy pink carpet, pink fluffy loo cover and pink fluffy rug!

My car problem has been resolved. After being messed around by two garages I found a great third one (was recommended).
I had to decide whether to replace mashed engine with a second hand one, which couldn’t be guaranteed. As I’m a cautious soul I decided on a new to me car.
Now have a Focus. Bigger engine size and nice to drive.
Thanks Flumps for your advice.
Have been referred to a Mental Health team for depression . I was on the urgent list since the start of August. No idea how long the wait will be. Told my adult children how I actually am, rather than the front I’ve been presenting.
Posting here helps. You are all lovely.

Omg my parents had a green set til I was well into my teens because they didn't want to renovate (don't worry I'm not pretending to be a street urchin, they just prefered to spend the money going on holiday to Italy lol) and it was foul!!! We also had that textured wallpaper which you could pick off?!
I wonder if it will go full circle and you'll see influencers peddling avocado sets from Arighi Bianchi's (alongside crushed velvet sofas).
100% it will, it's like the awful trend of 80s/90s clothes re-occuring, it'll be the new hipster thing along with carpets in bathrooms
Between JM thread drama and being back at work full time (currently marking MBA dissertations for extra dollar despite never having studied business in my life... ok, then, broken higher education system) I haven't got time to keep up with this thread as well. Exacerbated somewhat by the 800cal diet I'm still soldiering on with (goodbye 8kg in 2.5 weeks).
But anyway just popping back (lol) to express solidarity for gym knickers sufferers - mine were bottle green, remember the carpet that my mum had in the bathroom all through my childhood
and say hi and can't wait to be eating solid food again so I can post about it.

I’ve been absent from the threads for the past few days, but what the bloody hell has been going on over on the MT? Thank goodness for @Pocahontas’ catch ups on the first page of the new threads there; there’s no way I could Grunka through everything. I see JM is being as batshit as ever though. She’s still talking about bullying and court cases I see.
Omg I love these bathroom set chats - I wish ours was pink! You could at least lean into the retro and style it in an ironic millennial pink glossier sort of way?
Our first house fell through after 6 months of waiting, so after that I was only interested in probate properties and bless them the bathrooms. It was either saw II or the types described here, my fav was one with a corner bath and carpeted steps up to it & a really ruffly shower curtain? I suspect that was probably a sex person’s home and you’d never truly get it clean but imagine strutting down those stairs nude hahaha

avocado! Bathroom, we bought a house in the 80's autumn gold, it was callled, basic a shade of brown
@heretoreaditall2019 I found these on eBay.

Not fully caught up but reminded me of my friend who viewed her flat a few times ahead of moving in only to realise (once moved in) none of the rooms bar the kitchen had ceiling lights - as in bare ceiling with no fixtures in place! She relied on uplighters/lamps for an age as she slowly got them installed. The electrician who came to do the work couldn’t understand why you wouldn’t install ceiling lights as standard, or the fixtures at least.IT DID! How did you know?! We changed that quickly & cheaply when we got the hall floor done, was this a thing?! She was elderly and had mobility issues so I always assumed her kids put it in to prevent slipping, as wet tiles are actually quite dangerous, I know someone whose dad died in a freak accident slipping on a wet tiled floor and hitting his head on their sink, isn’t that awful. Not good for the anxiety fraus is it, sorry guys that’s actually made me feel a bit squiggly
We didn’t even realise it until we moved in, and we’d been to the house twice?!!
Is it bad I really like the blue one?! With a nice wallpaper that would be so fun!
Why did anyone ever design tiles & a bath the colour of blood tho...

More cat love, this is my tiny boy Rocky. He was born under a dumped car and was blundering around in the lane when I found him when he was 3/4 weeks old. His eyes were so badly infected that the vet didn't think that he would survive. We managed to save his beautiful bright blue right eye and he now thinks that I'm his mum, follows me about and gets cross with the other (big) cats

I like the blue one too. A friend had a similar one in a flat in S. Kensington that she was renting. I’ve seen a really pretty old pale yellow suite in a dentist’s surgery near Wimpole Street.
We're only 20 years down the line from Changing Rooms and some of it really didn't age well...My granny had a pink bathroom set... toilet, bath and sink. With a fluffy pink carpet, pink fluffy loo cover and pink fluffy rug! And it stank of talcum powder

My parents have a bright pink carpet in their main bathroom, with steps going up to a corner jacuzzi bath, it is like stepping into a 1970s porno
omg that one with the 2tone toilet seat!! Jealous of a bathroom with a bidet though, I don;t get why so many other countries have them and the UK does not
Most of changing rooms didn't look good when it was made, god knows now (albeit no way all of that cheap MDF would even be functional now). I wish they'd bring it back, I loved the episodes where the friends were too angry at the crappy results to meet at the endWe're only 20 years down the line from Changing Rooms and some of it really didn't age well...
