Argghhh just lost a long post!
OK so in summary I was whining about house renovations taking so long but all wiring now up to spec thanks to my dad, we have some new windows and lots of stripping and sanding has been done. It's taking ages and I just want one usable room right now.
Holiday with DS booked - off to Corfu
Exams passed and dissertation plan approved, should really get started as it's going to involve a lot of sifting through archives which I could start in summer. That would interfere with scraping and sanding though...oh spoilt for choice!!
Anyhow must crack on...a quick gym visit then cutting hedges and doing battle with a hot air gun on a door...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
