Meaning, it doesn't suit everyone but it suits some (we rent a house for more than twice what we'd be paying for a mortgage, but it suits our work and family situation much better that the moment). Tattle seems to be massively anti-rent, but it's a workable life choice for lots of people these days! I don't know why so many people seem to jump on it as a negative - I'm not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes, I pay a lot to live in my house. What does it matter whether I own it or not!

It doesn’t matter to me. I ain’t bovvered. I get that some people are more suited to different situations....as in horses for courses. I thought you were referring to the new floor. I don’t care who rents. Why would i?
Why would you do that? Just curious.
It’s “beautiful real oak COATED flooring”
Haha so the flooring equivalent of a gorgeous gold coated ring!It’s “beautiful real oak COATED flooring”
Very apt for an instagrammer then 
Because we knew when we moved here it would be for at least a few years. The bathroom was grotty and we spent a few grand on a new one which we fitted and tiled ourselves. With a busy family a nice bathroom felt worth the money and investment for us!
I wish our tenants in England were like you! They recently moved out and unbeknown to us, they painted a carpet and put cat flaps on almost all internal doors!
Same here! Downtoearth do you want to rent from me please 
How long is your tenancy? I’m assuming you have a standard 12 month tenancy agreement. Aren’t you concerned that whilst you might want to stay in that house for ‘a few years’, your landlord might have other plans and those thousands of pounds you spent are essentially being spent on improving someone else’s investment? For example, your landlord could choose not to renew your tenancy and then rent the property to new tenants at a higher rate (thanks to your improvements).
I appreciate the lifestyle choice of renting over buying but I can’t get my head around making large financial investments in properties that you don’t own, have very little security in and won’t see any return on.
I also wonder about the landlord’s side of things. If I was a landlord, I don’t think I’d want tenants DIY fitting (and potentially bodging) new bathrooms or kitchens. Probably more trouble than it’s worth and what happens when there’s a leak in the bathroom? Is the landlord’s job to fix it or yours because you were responsible for the fitting? What about insurances? Does it invalidate the landlord’s specialist insurance if the tenant starts DIY replacing stuff? The lines get blurred. Let the landlord do the fixtures, fittings and maintenance.
I expect her landlords were very happy at the prospect of them having the work done, I know I would be!
What’s gone down with her and sally fazelli? Anyone else noticed a shift ?
Sally was once an IG bestie but no talk of her collab with bobbi brown and visa Versa On Lauren’s part about Sally’s new yogi venture.
They still seem to follow each other but no likes or comments that I can see. Wonder what went down.

He knew about it obviously, and was very happy with the job we did. It totalled about £3500 (including flooring and paint etc) which I don't consider a big investment. We have a rural estate tenancy which was initially for 60 months.
The "return" is that we have a lovely life and a lovely bathroom haha, much like H&H I guess. I don't worry about whether I'm investing in something worthwhile too much - I'm just enjoying our life with its circumstances right now. Another 5 years on we will likely be in another continent and probably quite glad we don't have to try and sell a house (potentially at a loss like many friends have when they've had to move for work).
Just going to leave this one here...
Game of monopoly for two.....???
Must be thrilling
Must be thrilling
Wash it down with loads of wine, some schexy TWC silk pjs slipping seductively off the shoulder and cashmere socks,an abundance of £40 candles from Jo Malone lit and scattered all over the cosy lush gorgeous living room that's devoid of any toys (poor Worwee), some canapes made by the superstar chef Col and you've got yourself a banging night in! Oh, dont forget to tag tonights lippie, ive had so many people ask me what shade, its Sizzling Schmexy Siren with a lush moisturing sheen from Bobbie Brown.
Our Laur’ has hit her IG-high now

All that stalking and inane, “look at me” comments on her grid have paid off. Looking for her figures to go up with Rosie’s help
“Oh the #freeshit that’s going to come our way, Col’!”
