    Well, have trimmed the hedge (Wayne had to deal with the wire that came out of the extension cable. But now I've pulled a muscle in my back so can't put the lawnmower round. It actually hurts to move and breathing is becomming a bit of a pain (quite literally). Wayne bless has gone out to get me some vodka - for medicinal purposes!!!

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, there is progress :D

    OK, so there has been much huffing, puffing, over-dramatic sighs and swearing :rolleyes: but the old carpet is up and in the back of my car to go to the tip, the sanding is finished and the ceiling is currently being painted :eek: :rotfl: :T

    Part of the reason I'm pushing him to get on with it (apart from the furniture now being out of the room for a month and tripping on stuff in the hall etc and it being 6 months since he was supposed to start it), is when I bought the carpet for the other bedroom at the beginning of October, I also bought the carpet for the spare room and the living room at the same time. It's a little local company and the owner said he would store it. At the time, he said 'it will be (collected) before Christmas, won't it?' and I said - yes , of course :rolleyes:

    I have this horrid feeling the fitters will go to the shop and they'll have sold it..........:o
