Ha, not really. She’s a lovely lady and we’ll probably use them for a few bits, but it’s mostly frozen Iceland food and Pukka pies, so they aren’t really competition.

Indubitably

Well windows arrived from the UK on Friday, so I was slowly assembling the various bits and pieces I needed for installation. Timetable brought forward by FoL2 smashing two of the windows in the lounge in the space of 5 minutes playing with a sodding bouncy ball. Didn’t even manage to break glass in the same frame, it’s two completely different ones. So now it’s all systems go. At least it wasn’t the front door, that’s a fucking huge unit to go in.

Other than that, builders are booked to come in April to do the roof of the main house, and also replace the septic tank. The current tank is probably 40 years old and really not fit for purpose. Plus half the waste water from the house doesn’t actually run into it.

In the mean time, I am mostly ripping up floors and continuing to tear out the room that will become the kitchen.

LOL! The look of absolutely not giving a shit on FoL#1s (?) face would have driven me into an insane spluttering fury if it were one of my spawn.

But it’s not, so it’s funny.

There was a certain amount of swearing that happened, that’s for sure. FoL1 isn’t normally too bad, it’s FoL2 that’s the real handful on the destruction front.
