Electrician comes on Thursday to rewire so you may get to see pictures of raggles!
PS Loved what you did with your room.

Raggles are the holes in the walls made to run the electical wiring. There is only one single socket per room so I'm adding extra sockets everywhere.
I must have bee in denial when I bought this place as I never noticed - in fact, I didn't look at the house at all, just the view which I love.

Plus the new fridge freezer has to go back....
Anyway, none of this is life & death so I'll be fine by the time my MIL rocks up tomorrow. She won't stay - she vacuums and dusts her house every day so she won't like my place at the moment.

I've put my camera up safe somewhere and can't find it.
I particularly want to take a piccy of my living room, as it now has a "gosh, you don't have kids, do you?" type carpet plus I have managed to unpack my free-standing punchbag at last - been packed since March so now I have a target, in lieu of absent bloke.
Rest of house is a disaster, I stick with my comments about rewiring being the worst. Plasterer coming at the w/e!
