Amazing how many pairs of really dodgy pants you seem to find online. Anyone would think you were *looking* for them.....

What a week.

Back from week of training course, which was a lot more enjoyable than I anticipated. The team I'm in for our project is great - everyone is really nice and the team works well together. I was also sat next to the best looking bloke in the room for the majority of the time (not by choice, that was where we had been allocated to), who was a lovely person as well as lovely to look at. He has a very lucky girlfriend.

That was followed by a weekend with a friend. We went to see Bruno Mars on Sat eve who put on a very good show. As if all of that wasn't enough, tomorrow is the Big Day, so I'm going to try and pack a few bits and bobs this evening...

One of my Mse chums from the thread davesnave and I hang out on visited today and we ripped up our stair carpet. She's brought us a whole lots of beautiful NEUTRAL carpet from a house of a friend of hers which is having new carpet, and when the builders are out we're going to re do the sitting room, downstairs hallway, maybe the current dining room, and that will give us a carpet for the study until we can put wood floor throughout down stairs.

Alternatively, we might do our bedroom, where the carpet is a shocking shade of red, but the plan is, we'll stair in there, lifting the carpet then chip board and see what its like. If its too shocking we'll use some of the the carpet in there, if its ok we'll tart it up , and if its middling we'll tart it up and out a big rug on it, then we'll know how best to use the windfall of beautiful carpet.


The one we inherited smells a bit, despite several cleanings (mainly when it rains it smells) and is hideous.




All the carpet grippers are gone now too. It looks so much better. I guess some sanding is in order, huh?


(We keep wondering how much the stairs have been impacted by the bit that fell down, how much is original.....we had presumed they weren't original stair treads or anything, but now maybe they look like it...close up. . How were they salvaged when the wall they are on fell down if so? Odd. And the hall way proportions do look all wrong.

Thanks lir

That's the plan. I know there should be at least one bed (in the dining room) so I'll take as much as I can in a car load, but enough to spend the night. I'll have to decide which room to sleep in when I get there :rotfl:

Do you mean trouble with building/works .... or other stories?

Bit of both really.

Still, we are where we are, and its certainly not the worst place to be. We like it anyway.

X factor is normally cringeworthy but it has reached a new level of nonsense this year. I had never seen so many men crying. Now, there is nothing wrong with crying at an appropriate time (like when Bruce Willis tells Liv Tyler that he will be staying behind to detonate the bomb in Armageddon) but this is just pathetic.
