catch up

Hi

Well I'm not going to go through each day since I last blogged.  What I can remember is this - I finished the wallpaper stripping in the bathroom - including the ceiling in extreme temperatures!!  I had the plasterer back who is saying it will be better to board it over - so I didn't need to get the wallpaper off lol.   The plasterer should be coming around in the next day or so - will be awesome to see it all plastered.  I got the guy over to give me a quote on the floor - he came back with a quote of £800-£1100 depending in which flooring I choose - but I can get the flooring (Amtico) much cheaper than him - but he'll only supply and fit - but worse than that - he can't do it until September!!

I put the job on a website - find a trade - or something like that and I've had no response (got loads of responses at first when my old address was accidently put in!). 

Yesterday Cash came around and fitted the new lights in the bathroom and got rid of some unwanted electrics. 

I have all the bathroom furniture waiting to go in now - apart from the bath - which is the first thing I need!  They have messed me about quite a bit - but eventually said they'd have it by 2nd July.  Its now 3rd and I haven't heard anything.

The plasterer might be able to offer Connor some work which is awesome - he also knows a floor fitter!

Me and Connor did more of the wallpaper removal yesterday - need to get that finished very soon as the plasterer is due any day.  We didn't finish it because we decided the hot tub was more important! lol

What else.....I've not done any exercise, including running for a week.  Its been scorching hot though....I've also had loads of take-out and alcohol - so I've been totally rubbish.   

On Saturday we decided to buy an inflatable hot tub - we ordered it Saturday - it turned up Sunday and we put it up yesterday (Tuesday).  Me and Connor put it up and sorted it out - including a gazebo to go over it.  We all got in it last night and it was pretty awesome lol. 

So now - I am supposed to be going for a run - just 5km - and Connor is supposed to be coming with me - plan was to get out by 10am - but it is now 10.20 and I haven't got my stuff on or anything! Also - bit dehydrated after we stayed up playing pool and drinking until 1.30am!  This having-too-much-fun-thing needs to stop!!

Right - I'd better get ready to run - and I'll try and post some pics later - of hot tub and stuff and I need to start a post to go in my house renovations thing showing the progress of the bathroom - although I need to make sure Andy doesn't see it - I'm supposed to be doing it all and then having a big reveal!
