Thanks all. Yesterday's problem still not sorted out. Have been assured the relevant tradesperson is defo coming to do it tomorrow. Roof progressing well. The tiles arrived this afternoon.
@rtandon27 - Perhaps I'll do a debrief post when it's all finished. Tomorrow is theoretically their last day. It's certainly been a saga. Good job I am fairly resilient on the whole & as others have mentioned, that we had (note the use of past tense here) a good emergency fund.
At least no new horrid problem reared its head today. I couldn't really concentrate on much, but I did a decluttering job, made a quiche, played the piano, did a bit of Saturday's cryptic crossword, did a few surveys & read.

well done on your Scarlett O'Hara approach to managing stress and getting through this week's upheaval.1
