Hi - I've not posted for ages, and I thought I'd better let you know that I'm not ignoring you! We are not in our house at the moment. The insurance work started on our house 2+ weeks ago. And then it stopped the very same day! So all this time, we have been in a very lovely little holiday cottage, but the internet access is a bit sporadic.
The builders stopped because what I had said all along was right (duh!). The water from the leak had gone under the stud wall between the kitchen & the toilet. So they need to take the wall down. But as it's a 70's house, they needed to check the ceilings for asbestos before they could do that :(
Unsurprisingly, when the tests finally came back, they were positive. So a specialist company had to come in to remove the ceilings. Happily, they did that pretty quickly :)
So now we are waiting for the insurance company to authorise the changes to the initial plan, and then they can go ahead. It will possibly now involve me getting a new kitchen. This is because they will have to move things about behind the scenes. The fuse box and the gas pipe for the hob are about...ooo.. 2inches apart. Scary! That is gonna have to change!
So I will try to get pictures to show you the progress. I also have other news - I did my first ever craft fair last weekend (and sold stuff!) and I have some yarn reviews to do as I've been trying some lovely new yarns recently.
I will be a better blogger - honest!
