Finally we have lift-off!



After FOUR years of planning applications we finally got started on our extention! All we wanted was one small room on the back to house a new staircase thus freeing up the dining room of stairs, you'd think we were asking for the moon!
Anyway, the dh and his oppo got going this week, knee-deep in wet concrete and the back garden looks like the Somme, it hardly seems to have stopped raining since. I am consolling myself that soon I will have more space and his office willl be out of the livng room - and I will be able to watch the telly I want to watch. Why is golf, football, snooker, etc the mainstay of men's lives? It is never off the TV and when it is it's University Challenge and Mastermind closely followed by Jeremy flaming Clarkson!

Had to laugh last night, I went to babysit my daughter's children and the littlest one (nearly three) bounced into the house back from nursery with 'hello Nanny where's Ho-HO?' Why she calls the dh Ho-Ho we have no idea but she has done ever since she could get the words out. He even answers to it now!
