A lot happened in the bank holiday. The cooker and hob are connected and working after a bit of wiggling and threadin wires and drilling extra room in the cabinets. We tiled the bathroom floor including the plywood base, we bought taps and a shower. The grout was too dark, so I scraped it out and put white in instead. I think I've removed my fingerprints though.The taps were reduced at Screwfix and are nice and chunky, in stromg cardboard overpackaging. Then when we moaned at the woman that the shower we want isn't in the new catalogue, she found the code from the old one and there was one left in the country - so we collected it on Tuesday. It had to be a built in thermostatic valve and fixed head because the shower enclosure's too small for one of those hose and rail things. It's Mira so should be good and the valve plate matches the tap shape - kind of waisted.
The bath legs went missing so MG got onto B&Q who promised to deliver new ones asap. They turned up later where I'd put them out of the way. Then when we opened the big cardboard box to get the basin out it was cracked: seriously cracked like it's had a Humpty Great Fall. Never mind, the bath fits in place, with a bit of dad's extra plaster removed and the wastes will be in the right places for the kitchen ceiling joists.
Meanwhile, Colin has the new maps for calling Judy (call of duty - its a game) so he is distracted and we're having a night off.
