It's been a while. I've had stuff going on that just isn't suitable for everyday blogging. Not bad stuff or personal stuff, but stuff that probably isn't of any interest to anyone else. My mother always told me that if I didn't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say it at all.
I'm not sure that I totally agree with her, but she's dead now, and well, it's one of those things I like to remember about her.
So, what has been going on? Since January (well OK mid-December but that was only two days), we have had the builders in. Anyone who has ever done this will know that the whole process, from architect through planning permission to lying in your new bath, is fraught with emotion. Fragile egos, diva strops and broken nails - and that was just the plumber!
We've had some excellent people working here, and some stinkers too. In fact, one of the stinkers still owes me half a bathroom suite so I'm not naming and shaming just yet. One of the pitfalls of ordering from an overpriced independent retailer.
I do have a long snagging list (Mr B thought it was a 'shagging' list), but as the renovation project draws to a close, the Boxers and I sigh with pleasure at the thought of having our house back, clean and quiet, peaceful and tidy. Bliss!
