    Yay! Welcome to the life of home ownership. My hubby and I moved around a LOT, we mostly moved into 'older' houses that already had toilet roll holders etc. However, house number 7 was a new build. We budgeted for the major things, like flooring, new furniture, wardrobes etc. but completely forgot about toilet roll holders, curtain rails, towel rails, blinds for the bathrooms and kitchen, curtains for all the other rooms, light fittings (the house only came with a single bare bulb on a little dangly cord), lampshades etc. Yeah, lets just say that the setup for that house went waaaaaaaay over budget!

  • @hatorigirl1202

    A comforter is a duvet. A bedspread can go on all or part of the bed and can be a quilt or any other thin blanket. At least in my mind.

    @SirDominic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Protip with the cables. If you have any left over Roses/celebration/heroes tubs you can store all the wires by type and they nicely stack. I now have a tower sitting under my desk with them all in, easy to get hold of what I want and looks neat and tidy.
    Also did you ever get to sort out your heating? Did you need to turn on the boiler rather than trying to work it from the thermostat? We had the opposite problem once as I couldn't work out why the boiler wasn't heating, turns out I forgot to turn the thermostat back up after we went away for a bit. Doh. We just normally control the heating from the boiler controller so it never crossed my mind to check the thermostat.

    I called it a bedspread while I lived/grew up in NJ. I haven't called it such since. Quilt, Comforter, Duvet (depending on the type). To me a bedspread is like those things they have in cheap hotels.

    I'm really pleased for you Evan, especially after all the shite you had to go through to get to where you are now. The fun is to turn your new flat into your home - enjoy (I know from the main channel that you're making progress). BTW: I have a MEng degree and I have to read the manual whenever I want to change the timing on my heating - it shouldn't be that hard, but it is. Designers of heating programmers please take note (they won't). Mike

    Congratulations 🎊 on the flat and finally being able to sleep, laugh, make memories and simply to enjoy being in your home 🏡 the accent bed covering that doesn't cover the pillows, sometimes you find it at the foot of beds in hotels is called a Coverlet, whereas a large 'sheet' that covers the entire bed i.e pillows, duvet. Thus goes all the way down to the floor, and is simpley called a Bedspread, this is normally made from chenille, wool or heavy cotton/linen really any material most people use these instead of a Coverlet as they add extra warmth and snugglyness to a bed in the winter 🥶 as well as your Duvet. 🤣 I have an entire closet dedicated to just bed linen, I also recommend having q low and high tog duvet so you are snug in the Autumn/Winter and just warm enough in the Spring/Summer...lots of hugs and best wishes for you in your new home...🤗💜

    Nest is a great thermostat. The interface is great, or just use the smartphone app. Don't try to install it yourself though, get a professional to do it as they can make sure it's all working correctly.
    For you bag of cables, get some zip lock bags and store cables in them as it stops them tangling around each other. You can then group similar bags into a box or bigger bag.
    So happy for you!

    I call it a bedspread. Comforter is what we called a duvet (a word that no one where I grew up would know).
    Oh, horror! Cables and wires from thousands of devices that have long since been retired, but the cables live forever! And you no longer know what they are for!
