It's getting closer!

Well, hello there chaps and chapesses!
This will be a short posting, because I'm at school, trying to get books marked, trying to find books that pupils claim that I have lost, and I want to get home at some point tonight.

So, you want to know about the progress, and you are also wondering why I am writing this at school. Well - I shall tell you, but in reverse order. I'm writing this at school, because BT, in their infinite wisdom in this age of technology stopped our broadband. To be fair, we had asked for it to be stopped on the date, but - and this is a bit BUT we then changed the date, and were told that it was all fine. The message that we changed the date didn't get through to all the people it needed to get through to. So, we have no broadband at home now, and have had to resort to dial up, which is a real pain - it takes forever, and I think that the computer is complaining about it too - either that, or the computer is on its way out. The broadband was off before I had finished marking the speaking tests, which was difficult. As I'm at school now, I don't have the photos so that I can add pictures.

Progress: well, I think it's all getting a bit much for Keith who has been suffering from a tummy bug for the past 5 days. But I'm taking it all in my stride now! On Saturday we chose the carpets, laminate and vinyl for some of the rooms. That will be fitted a week today (and continuing during the week). More scaffolding came down on Saturday, and the upstairs is finished now (with the exception of the carpets). There is still some work to do on the middle floor, but my sewing room is complete, and so (I think) is Nathan's room, and also Mat's room with the exception of the wall lights. Oh, and we need wall lights in our bedroom yet. We should be able to get the man round to fit the Sky dish, now that the scaffolding has gone. I've found the lights Mum! They were in the spare room behind the wardrobe - some joker had put them there. I've moved them back into my sewing room, and shall be checking on them in a bit. I intend to leave school at around 6pm this evening - the building work that has gone on here at school means that my room is not as light now, which is a shame. Oh, and the back of the house has been painted as well.

Anyway, that's it for the moment. I'll try to get some pictures in to school, so that I can show you all the progress - because I know that that is what you are really interested in seeing!
