Something has been done at least.

Now have dog and baby on lap (that is a lot of labrador!).

Yep the builder is a nice person. Would be soo much harder if not.

How kind is the builder making you a coffee - not sure you'd get many of them about.

I do make him bacon butties sometimes...and me a vegetarian...but he IS very kind.

Progress is starting to happen, plasterer tomorrow, and I love than clean look of fresh plaster - it's sort of hopeful IYSWIM?

It all sounds very promising. I hope you have another good week of progress. Your builder sounds lovely.

We are plastered! Hurrah!

We also bought another pew yesterday. Didn't mean to, but it was such a good price.

Put down a deposit on the kitchen, DD2 has a teddy diary to do, so we are busy entertaining the bear.

DD1 has a partaaay today, and we have to visit wickes and the tile shop, great joy!

Got the aga flue swept yesterday and I am pretty sure the sweep dented one of the hotplate lids, grrrr.
