• The skirting boards for me and my brother's flat remained on the communal walkway the entire 5 years I lived there. No door handles until I bought some plastic shed ones off ebay* after getting sick of closing my bedroom door by hooking my finger through the hole where a handle should be

    *was a student, didn't have money for Buster & Punch

  • “ closing my bedroom door by hooking my finger through the hole where a handle should be”
    Cringes inside and looks at the hole in the door and box of Plank hardware handles shoved on top of kitchen cabinet.
    In fairness to myself I did order some skirting while I was right in the middle of the renovation but failed to take into account that I needed the slim stuff which wouldn’t overhang to door frame where they meet so some got fitted in bedrooms where it would hardly be visible and then it came to the point where we just needed to move in asap.
    I just fitted a cover to a light switch though so am rewarding myself with a mince pie.
