All Mod Cons

Last night when the plumber left he had to leave the floor of the girls' play room ripped up as well as their bedroom floor.

He hadn't managed to get the hot water working or the heating yet.

That meant we had to all sleep in the one bedroom.

Nice and cosy.

This morning was cold. A real cold snap. Just to make it even more invigorating to leap out of bed and into clothes as fast as possible.

The plumber turned up early to start again and very quickly found lots of lead pipes. All need to be stripped out. More floors need to come up. Never mind, I'm off to work where it was nice and warm.

Busy day and then back home to find more floors up. No hot water or heating. But we now have cold running water! That is, not being fed from a lead tank which is good. Of course not in the kitchen. No, that would be too much to ask for now wouldn't it. There's no sink in there yet.

Headed for one of the bathrooms only for MrsClix to shout "not in there! Doesn't work!".

Popped a leak it seems from the new high pressure so it was cut off.

But who cares? The TV and broadband man came. Yippee!

No kitchen. No cooker. No heating. But WiFi and digital TV!

At least the girls were happy.
