Living in a building site

Sorry, no blogging for a while, but not because theres been nothing going on - to the contrary, lots been going on. My upstairs en-suite is very very nearly finished (toilet roll holder to put up and need to Danish oil the door) and the downstairs bathroom has been taken out completely and replaced with a new white suite, white tiles, new floor and a few more bits yet to finish off. How come 2 bathrooms have created mess and stuff throughout the whole house? Ok, so maybe because Im a little messy, but thats nothing compared to the mess my plumber, Brian, makes.

Brian said that the main bathroom could be done in 2 days. Maybe it could, but 3 weeks later, it is still unfinished. Nearly done, but not quite. Everything is still slightly leaking, and the new boiler cupboard needs finishing, but then it will be done and it will be FANTASTIC!

I already have all the cupboards and stuff for my new kitchen propped up in the dining room, so thats the next step. Maybe starting next week. Its such a nuisance having to go to work all week, and use all that time and energy that I could be using to finish my house!

I thought I would show you the photos so far.......before, building site, and nearly after.......

Raise your glasses

Well, I guess Ive reached that time in life when age starts to creep up on you (hey, get down!!). I decided to get my eyes tested, after having problems reading maps (no, the answer is not to get sat nav - maps are great!). They recommended I get some glasses for reading (why wouldnt they - thats their business). I decided to choose some modern, funky glasses (purple & lime green). And yes, I did go to ..........! I still wasnt convinced that I actually needed any glasses, but I guess I will have to admit that it does make reading stuff....well....easier. I dont use them all the time. To be honest, I keep forgetting that I have glasses, but I do kind of like them. Do glasses make us look more intelligent? Or just older?
