Ok, household talk. I'm useless.
I can't wire a plug, paint a wall or hang wallpaper. I wouldn't know where to begin sanding stuff.

As you can guess, my flats decor is... Aged. I'd love a nice home but don't have the courage

Intellectually I know that a crappy paint job or wonky wallpaper won't actually cause the flat to combust but I'm TERRIFIED of actually trying.

Please halp.

Whilst we are on the subject of home decor, how much change can I make to a room that I am renting? I haven't added any studs to the wall (used a few of them though for hanging things) but would like to know what exactly the legal grounds are for repurposing stuff?

Thanks folks!

Get your landlords permission and IN WRITING

I cannot stress how important that bit is because they will conveniently forget once your deposit is due back and cream you for it.

Some LL will be flexible and allow shelves, pictures and painting. Some will refuse everything up and Inc blutak. A few are in the 'put it back as you found it' which is wishy-washy at best and a red flag.

If it's me, I'm just looking for what I'm looking for. I'm really bad at spotting it immediately, I have to do the shelf scan while muttering "sweetcorn, sweetcorn, no that's peas, pasta sauce, soup...ah!sweetcorn!"

Effexor VR stoned me out of my gourd two weeks straight (I couldn't drive it was so bad. Chill feeling though) and straight up murdered my sex drive. I've been off it 2 years now and I still struggle with feeling absolutely unrandy.
