    £1100 for flat roof repairs. 

    The proper tiled roof is now leaking into the bathroom. Have asked 2 companies for quotes for that. 

    Have applied for 2 jobs and one voluntary job.

    Electrical work finished! 2 1960 bakelite fuseboards changed, 4 sockets replaced, 5 wall lights and a live wire nailed to a floor (!) removed.

    Need to save again now.
