This week we have been mainly living out of Matalan containers. Anything not connected nor nailed down has found its way into see through plastic quicker than a Damian Hurst creation. And although this is not as bad as it sounds I lost a blackberry charger for a good three days. It was found inside a cup – both elements fresh and untouched by the plastering dust which seems to orbit the insides on the house on an hourly basis.


Mata Land.....

But – fortunately, similar to Chelsea, things are moving on, and the plastering is nearly completed upstairs and the ceiling decoration(s) have started – but alas all this looks pretty lame on the camera. Therefore, below is picture of Charlie enjoying a curry and a pint at our shared birthday celebration this week. I did tell her that when I was eleven I was more a bitter type of guy…

Oi, Oi, Where's me popadums....

Ahem – now onto the exciting stuff – firstly a shower tray in the en-suite……my life is now complete !!


A tray

And finally a few holes have appeared in the ceilings downstairs for the routing of the new electricial cables – don’t worry next week I will photograph some paint drying….enjoy and have a good week..


Downstairs ceiling holes....
