What has DIY On A Budget has done for you?
DIY on a budget has been great for me. I suffer from depression + anxiety and I had never tried anything like up cycling before, and didn't realise I actually could afford to decorate if I tried! My house has come on amazing from what it was, and I no longer dread going home every day.

Here our members have explained how DIY On A Budget has helped them in their day to day life.
I first joined DIY on a budget not long after the group was first established. Since becoming a member I have received so much help and support in decorating my home which has kept me going through a very tough personal time. Now I'm giving up smoking!! And I need this site more than ever before. There is plenty of ideas tips and advice to keep me busy. I enjoy the laughs as well. I'd be lost without this group. I absolutely love it.

DIY has helped me get over the breakup of my 5-year relationship. Kept my mind busy and stopped me from thinking about him. It’s given me focus and a renewed energy for life. My home is beautiful, tidy and fresh and so is my mind.

I love the page, my marriage broke up a year ago and I had to move rather quickly with my 2 teenage boys, I have a lovely rented house and the landlady lets me have free hand. I’ve been able to do lots of stuff I was unable to do as I thought decorating was unnecessary and waste of money! I have made things and decorated to my taste, your page has given me loads of ideas and it is lovely to chat to members.

This group has helped me immensely. I lost my son last May and it’s been a very hard time. I was in denial for months. In November I accepted the fact that he isn't going to come back to me and I stumbled across this group. I have lots of ideas and seeing everybody's posts will help me to get on with my D.I.Y. I love all the brilliant ideas the lovely people have. This site is amazing. Keep up the good work. I will be following forever. Thank you xx

I just wanted to say a huge Thank You to you and all the other members of your group. I have Fibromyalgia and suffer on a daily basis and doing crafts helps. I've had so many good ideas and lots of inspiration for my home which has helped with my depression no end. Even when I'm not crafting I love looking at the site to see what everyone else has been up to and it always puts a smile on my face knowing others get the same pleasure from crafting!! I absolutely LOVE the groups DIY on a budget group. Thank you from me and my fella (he says it keeps me happy and out of trouble although he doesn't like the ever growing list of jobs he has to do hahaha) x
