    Scaffolding is gone, fabulous. I have pointed out to DH that getting a mop for your wifeshortly after the birth of your baby is not quite what she's hoping for.

    There is a heck of a mess, but they laid out the parts of the bathroom today and it looks ace.

    It all sounds very exciting. Are you having a shower room and a kitchen? Anything else?
    Looking forward to the pics.

  • Just a shower room, kitchen later when we have got over the shower room!

    Came home yesterday and between them the workmen had hexed our internet connection and blocked the loo and the basin - the only working loo in the house.

    A level results today...

  • Builders back again. Managed to spend £70 on sash window furniture, eek.

    Puppy bit the wrong bee and has been ill all weekend with a swollen nose. DH has to go get his BP done. DD is spending the morning at the riding stables and I am waiting for baby to wake up - he's asleep on my lap.

    It's all happening in your household, isn't it? What a variety of things going on. You remind me of when I first got into the whole internet forum thing when DS was a baby and I used to sit there typing away with him on my lap either feeding or sleeping.

    Give the puppy an extra cuddle from me. Poor thing with the stung nose. :( Hope it's better soon.

    Yes, some people not on this board, have made comments to me along the lines of I mustn't have a life because of my post count.

    But I type fast one-handed and it's better than watching Jezza;)
