Mon/Tues

well - I feel a bit out of sorts.  I've done the wallpaper removal  apart from a little bit and I need a new steamer....and I don't know what to do with myself.

Yesterday I started sanding and filling some of the cracks in the wood paneling in the dining room side of the kitchen.  I need small jobs to get stuck into while I wait for the plasterer to do his thing. 

I haven't got anybody to do the floor once he has finished and a guy that was supposed to come and give me a quote didn't turn up.  I've just messaged him and another person who responded to the job I posted on My Builder.

I don't know what to do with myself!!  The white tiles I paid a fortune for have turned up and the colour is close enough but they are slightly too big!!  I need to get my wet cutter out and see if I can take 2mm off!  That won't be easy and I cannot imagine the edges would look right and I really don't know what to do and I have gaping holes in the tiles in the porch and they cant stay like that!

I want to get on with something but I don't know what to do.  I could go out and check out some oils for the wooden floor in the hallway but I dont think I'll be able to buy samples and I have to colour match.  I want to paint in the dining room - but it is a big job to start.  I need to go and take all the measurements again for the door that is supposed to be going into the new annex living room - but I cant really get to it now Connor and Emily's stuff is in there - and that's an excuse really - I don't know why I am not just getting on with it...  I want to go around each room and make a list of jobs that need doing - but I am not doing that either....

So - I am sat here not knowing what to do with myself instead of actually doing stuff.

Connor didn't get any work yesterday but has gone out working today - and Emily just texted - looks like that has a job that starts in about a week and a half. 

Oh....I might just go out and look at stuff for the floor and buy a steamer.  That's better than sitting here and doing nothing.

-----------------------------------------

I went outside to check the spa - as yesterday I tried to fix the hole with gorilla tape - only to discover - in addition to the 1cm tear - there were 5 other puncture holes where the cat tried to get out!  I just checked it and it is half deflated again.  The proper repair kit turned up today so I replaced the gorilla tape but couldn't pump it back up because the thing that pumps it up is used to put bubbles into the water once it is inflated.  I can't take that back out or the water comes out - so I went into Taunton to get a pump!  I also got a burger at KFC, some wax for the floor and some running bottoms!  I got home after being stuck in loads of traffic and I cannot get the air pump to work.  It is a rechargeable one so I assume I cant use it until it is fully charged which is apparently 10-12 hours!  So I can only hope that it hasn't fully deflated and lost all the water by then!  The floor wax doesn't match either.  Guess I will end up with tons of them before I find anything that will match - if I ever find one at all.  I've just ordered 5 different samples from Amazon - and you can mix them to get the right shade!

It is running club tonight - and still hugely hot outside - about 29 degrees.  But - I am falling very behind on my challenge (1018km in a year) so I have to go - plus I have new running pants to try out!

I've not been able to use my SHFT which analyses everything about the way you run and helps you improve because one of them wont charge up - I emailed again and not had a reply in 5 days - so I contacted them on facebook and tried to write a post (which wasn't complementary) but they have to approve it before it gets posted - but this prompted them to take action and now they are sending me a replacement!

Belgium play France tonight - the last deciding game before it gets to the final 4 teams - or....this could be to see which one of them is in the final - actually that sounds right - so if England win tomorrow (unlikely) e will play whoever wins tonight, in the final!
