    As you can see, we have internal doors and a staircase but the kitchen is still in bits. They were supposed to fit it today but there was a problem with the plumbing (ooops, Mike) so they are coming back on the 14th.

    This weekend we have to choose tiles, that means I actually have to make a decision :S

  • House update

    Have been taking a break from blog again, not sure why... have thought about mothballing the whole thing but I know a lot of you like to hear about the house - so here you go!

    The underfloor heating's been fitted and the concrete poured on top.

    We have a kitchen in boxes all over the place, it'll be fitted towards the end of this week. The fridge, etc will be delivered this week too.

    The amazing builders are back, doing lots of finishing touches like fitting the internal doors and putting in the staircase. I'm very excited about the staircase as I hate the wobbly ladder that's been there for months!

    Both bathrooms have the shower trays fitted, the family bathroom has a bath and the en-suite has a bath but not the frame... which should come this week.

    Now we need to buy floorboards, tiles (wall and floor), showers x2 and toilets x3 *phew*

    We're looking to move in the next month, we have to move by the end of October as our lease ends on the 1st of November

    I'll keep you posted :))

  • Sunday, Sunday

    Watching Innerspace and chuckling over how much I remember from when I used to watch it as a kid :)) Also, enjoying the fact that the guy playing The Cowboy is the same guy who was the EMH in Star Trek - Voyager... only he had a lot more hair back then!

    The kids are playing Mario Bros in their bedroom, well Rhys is playing it on his DS and Jamie is hanging over his shoulder and watching him. Doubt that'll last long as Rhys is sure to get annoyed and tell him to go away

    Mike's working on his laptop up at the dining table, he's working far too much at the moment IMHO but I guess that's what happens when you get promoted :roll: At least he looks sexy in his specs ;D

    Been fighting off this nasty cold all weekend, was feeling pretty rough and drained this morning but a lot better now.

    Ooooh, we took the kids to see 'Up' yesterday, wasn't quite what I was expecting, really quite sad! I loved the Doug the dog though and I think we saw Alpha in our local market this morning :))

    Last week was a tough drag, especially with this cold, but I'm slowly getting back in the swing of things. This coming week is only going to be 2 1/2 days thanks to a local bank holiday and we have friends coming to stay from Wednesday to Sunday which I'm really looking forward to.

    Anyway, that's me at the moment. Hope you're all having a good Sunday :wave:
