LISTENING TO SCOUTING FOR GIRL - EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ON TV

Getting there need to sort out my divorce money so i can pay my builder, lucky he trust me and knows he will get paid with in the next few weeks should be sorted but got to admit its been a pain the consent order should be now void and no further payments should be going through.I got to get some money back for what already has been paid out from my wages.

its great having doors into the garden going to make having barbecue a lot easier and feeding the rabbit less of a hassle just got to make sure the our rag doll cat Harvey doesn't get out , can even get the log burner burning something we havnt done since Rodley

Tonight went to my partners parents house after i finished work we both indulged in having a bath, i haven't had a bath since we left the house in Rodley most of the time when we lived there i used the shower, in the house we have now all we have is the shower, so to have a bath and lay down in hot water was totally relaxing i soaked for about 40 minutes and came out like a lobster ,its a pity we had to go back home to house full of builders debris and dust that should be sorted by this time next week fingers crossed

Made it back to Whitby the car exhaust is now putting out a load of smoke i need a new back box, a queue was outside the Magpie fish restaurant as there is most of the day , the Frank sutcliffe gallery was also shut which pissed me off as i wanted to get some photos and a DVD and book made it home we stopped of at the FOX & GRAPES for tea was OK for a pup restaurant i had chicken done in a barbecue sauce with pear sponge and custard for desert.

Fixed the second light in the kitchen part of our dinner now that the ceiling has been over-boarded and plastered was a bit of messing around to get a long enough hook into the joist to support the light fitting . in the afternoon drove over to Flockton to see Sharon and Steve.From there drove over to the Huntsman Inn just outside of Holmfirth .

Slow progress radiator moved out of the second bay window and a large new double radiator fitted to the opposite wall , its bigger than required so it should put out more than enough heat. Some more plaster boarding and some face brick work was completed to the kitchen bay , hopefully the plasterer is coming today.



All we want to do is get the house back to a home again and stop living in the one room .it makes the days very long i am going to work on a night which is a killer when you have been sat on your backside most of the day. I have had all week off from my main job which has meant no sleeping in have had to be up to let the builders in and have been making teas and coffees all day along with Helen .
Could be this time next week when the door and window arrives have a feeling it might be a few days longer when the builders have cleared up and gone.

Calling in to the county courts in Leeds city centre today hopefully to get a decision on the money regarding the sale of the house and the maintenance order getting squashed.

Suppose to be a nice weekend we both feel like getting of to the coast get some sea air we been breathing plaster and brick dust all this week need some salt air to refresh the lungs and to cap it all its back to work Monday

.
The week so far our dining room and kitchen is all in the living room our house resembles a squat or it looks like we are compulsive collectors and hoarders and could easily be candidates for a BBC2 documentary , or how clean is your home seeing that there is dust everywhere .
The kitchen window is getting bricked up either side and a smaller PVC window installed this will also create wall space for two wall units and two electric sockets,the window will take five days to manufacture and will make the back of the house more secure and we will have a window that we can open and close.
