    Morning all,
    Stand back while I have moan!! Having a new kitchen floor fitted - absolute bl**dy nightmare [​IMG] My Dad, in his wisdom, decided he had to do it this weekend, rather than next when the spawns are at their Dads. So I've got 3 hungry kids, a partially tiled floor that I can't walk on( :eek: ), no washing machine, no dishwasher, a freezer in my lounge and I'm writing this squashed between the glass top of my table (balanced on top of my dishwasher)and the wall with the keyboard on my knee :rolleyes:
    The worse bit is, when he started he said it would be finished today but now it's going to be Tuesday before I get my kitchen back! AAAAARRGGGHHH!! I know I shouldn't moan as it's lovely my Dad's doing it for me but I can't cope!! :eek:

    Good morning wildflower/windy miller.

    Windy, if it's any consolation I am in a worse state than you, have been for a few weeks and will be for another 9 weeks min!

    I have a temp. toilet and basin, no heating at all,no tv at all, gaps around the temp. windows at rear while we are waiting for the new ones, just found out the window manufacturers have lost our order of 4 weeks ago!!!

    Oh, and all my floors are being done and when they start it will take 6 weeks before the heating can go on! So no heat at all until December!

    So you see, I won't be here much but at least today it is quiet and there still is the Internet.

    Don't suppose that is any consolation, but it makes me feel better having a rant! :D

    Will have a look around GC this morning if I get the time (Mrs.DAG has got other ideas!)

    Hope you lot (and especially rosa) have been behaving yourselves? [​IMG]

    Hi again rosa, yes that is an offer, I thought how about sunny Southend-on-sea, Essex? You know, exotic and all that, bring your own bucket and spade!

    Just right for this time of the year, what do you think? :eek: :eek: [​IMG] [​IMG]
