New year started with the 'wrecking crew' coming back on 8th and except for the weekends and one other day they've been with us ever since.

Bathroom took longer than planned (11 instead of 8 days), but it's worth it. Just waiting for the flooring guy to come and lay vinyl.

They've been working on lounge now for 5 days. scheduled to take 10 so we seem to be on target. Some of the changes didn't work out though - they couldn't get the coving off to change it - it had been stuck to plaster which had been moulded around the coving.

Fireplace and grate has been removed and hi fi cabinet has been built to go in the new cavity. Preparation should be finished by this weekend so they should start the painting the walls next week.

Unfortunately on the personal front, things not too good.

David had a bad transfer from the loo on monday night ending up on the floor. From where we couldn't get him up and he somehow managed to almost rip off his small toe, also fractured it. We're just playing a waiting game to see of he will lose the toe or if it will heal by itself. The tear couldn't be stitched, only dressed.

Under the fracture clinic at mo, but they want to wait another week before they do anything with the dressing. Not allowed to get the foot wet so need to sort out showers. Typical, just get the new shower sorted and David can't use it ;O
