Hopefully...

HOPEFULLY...

... Dave will be starting the demolition of our bathroom today.

It's a bit dubious though, the poor sod was up until 01:30 this morning, trying to finish a paper for college, which should have been handed in last night (he thought it was supposed to be next week). He emailed it to his tutor when he finished it, but he has to hand in a hard copy this morning. (He gets 10% deducted for each day that he's late.)

I tried to tip-toe round this morning, so that he could get some sleep, but he was up and about before I left for work. He had to go over to his parent's house, to pick up their dog.

They went on holiday at 05:30 this morning.

Which means that we can stay in their house this week while we convert our bathroom from a horror to a haven of tranquility.

This photo was taken when we first viewed the house - it's actually a lot worse since this was taken, bare bricks - HUGE hole in the ceiling, not pretty.

I can't wait till it's completed. We actually have two nasty rooms as a result of this. The bathroom itself, and the guest room, which now houses the new bathroom suite (we brought it up out of the garage so that we could check that we had everything.)

I will not be leaving the bathroom for a week when it's completed. At the moment it's so AWFUL that you have to take a bath in the dark... with maybe just one candle burning. Just so you don't see the full horror. /shudder.

It's strange, because I'm not usually one to 'linger' in the bathroom. I prefer to just jump in the shower, quick scrub and back out again.

The bathroom at the moment doesn't have a shower though, so I have to wallow in the bath. Cursing.

I think once we have the new bath in - I will be the kind of woman who spends HOURS at a time in the bathroom.

I will also be spending a small fortune at Lush.
