Further to my earlier email there was one expense which took us a bit by surprise. In our apartment we had to supply the light fittings/shades etc. There was over 25 of them when you count up the hall, stairs, store rooms, terrace, lounge and bedroom ceiling and wall lights etc. Once purchased we then decided to get an electician to fit them. That cost about £75 and took most of the day. I didn't fancy fiddling with the electrics!!I suppose we paid about £250 in total. That said there were some lovely fittings to choose from and once done it looks good and feels very homely! Stuart
