And it goes on ...

While trying to get the plastic off the new fridge Husband broke one of the glass shelves.

While trying to work out how to work the new dishwasher Husband chipped a plate AND the new granite worktop.

And what's more, we have been blessed with Daft Dai, the thickest plumber this side of Merthyr. He's supposed to be coming back tomorrow morning at 11. Yeah, right, he said that last week too.

Good job we're going to see Grand-daughter tomorrow!

Oh, dear. Why don't workmen just do what they are supposed to do? I have to laugh at "Daft Dai", though I know it isn't funny for you.

Sounds like the renovation is taking its toll on you both. Thank goodness Elin will bring a smile back to your faces! Give her a Canajun kiss for me...

Oh dear you seem to have caught the bad week syndrome. I am sure things will be much better next week and Elin is sure to make you forget all your worries :-)

Your remodeling reminds me of our kitchen remodel, most of which we did ourselves. We bought finished cabinets but had to assemble them--my job. One particular cabinet collapse and some wood splintered. Thankfully my husband, Mr Fixit, was able to mend it so it could be used.

Chipped the granite!! What the hell did he hit it with a pick axe? Or were you sold inferiour quality tops?

Our fitter is very hard-working and has done a good job, pat, it's just the plumber ...

I did, leslie.

She did, cherrypie.

Not at the time, no, anne.

It does and jams, rose!

Where would we be with out our Mr Fixits,nitwit?

No, just a glass dish, which also chipped, furtheron. The amount we paid for it, it certainly shouldn't be inferior!
