I mis understood the scale of your work. I thought you were just doing something to do with boiler or ch, not a downstairs renovation!

Still, looking on the bright side it will all be smart and fresh when you are done!

Sadly we were just changing radiators. By moving location of the radiators we expected that we would have to redecorate in places, we wanted to redecorate the lounge, but the other rooms we thought we could patch up ok. It appears not.

In the dining room we had a curved radiator that fitted into the bay. This has gone and we are left with a silver foil lined bay plus a dug out area where the connecting pipes were cut off.

In the hall, the new radiator is in the same position as the old, but a different shape, hence we uncovered the lack of plastered walls.

In the study, you may remember from previous threads that we changed the desk to a backless one to allow the heat from the radiator to enter the room. Now the radiator is moved, the wall can be seen in all its silver foiled glory.

To access the many pipes a large section of the downstairs loo wall has been hacked away -ironically to protect the dining room wall from damage.

So we have now decided that we may as well change the downstairs loo ( but won't redecorate or change the floor).

We are also going to change the plug points in dining room, lounge and study. And then redecorate lounge, dining room and hall, stairs and landing.

The really good news is the kitchen floor has come up well after me deep cleaning the grouting and the parquet hall floor is intact.

It will all be worth it in the end.

We sometimes need a push to do things that need doing, so it is no bad thing, just some things that we hadn't budgeted doing at this time.

I've never owned a hat. Is that weird?

Not even a sunhat? or a wedding hat?

I love hats and they suit me.

Having just tried to spell the word 'rural' four times over the phone to some one writing an invoice to the business the closest they could get from what I was saying was 'ruru'


It will have to do.

You should have said it was Rural as in title of the movie "Rural Juror" (as in "30 Rock"):D

If you don't know what that is you may have wasted your life. :eek:

Begger! Half term next month is not going to be fun....

Isn't there any NHS provision? Or failing that some sort of grant/aid available.

I am [STRIKE]amazed[/STRIKE] horrified if there is not.

How much is a new one?

Sorry if I am asking too many qu's don't answer if you would rather not.

As it happens it might NOT be a problem, this evening I am sick as a dog again.

Bald patch + Aussie sun = a big box full of hats.

I have a particularly splendid one which is a baseball cap with a pair of LED lights built into the peak.

I'm feeling much better, no idea why. I'll ride the wave of feeling ok until the wheels come off again I guess.

I want to 'like' this many times but there is no like function.

Just enjoy the rest from how you have been feeling.
