There's a bed in the bathroom
What am I going to do?...
In fact there's stuff everywhere. The builders are just working on the kitchen / dining room for the moment, to minimise the disruption. Some of the old kitchen is still in our bedroom. In order to feed wires through to the kitchen, they have taken up the floorboards in the spare room and dressing room. So the original contents of those three rooms (plus the rest of the old kitchen and the dining room) are strewn around the rest of the house in a random fashion. Getting dressed involves going to Oakley's bedroom for underwear, down to the lounge for a top and into the attic for anything that's on a coat hanger. I'm glad we went down the minimal disruption route. Otherwise I guess we'd be racing round the garden in the morning, looking for our pants.
We are sleeping on a matress on the floor of Oakley's room. He's delighted. And, as Quentin remarked last night, anything is better than a hospital bed. Talking of which, we heard this morning that Quent's next scan is confirmed as Monday 2nd November.
I never thought I'd say this, but a rat in the kitchen seems like quite a reasonable option now.

We had a flood over the whole of the basement in London whilst we were away over the summer and I have been feeling rather sorry for myself since then that the sofa is in the garage, the washing machine is in the study, the dog is on the landing etc etc. Mercifully though our pants are totally unaffected so after reading your latest update I am feeling much more cheerful. Like us, you are presumably repeating morning, noon and night and hourly inbetween that well known mantra through gritted teeth "IT WILL BE WORTH IT"! Lots of love, The Langleys xxxxx
I feel for you, been there done that, it's a nightmare...
Can you move out so they can do it quicker? moving the stuff about takes so much more time.
Take care!
I was going to comment that doing 6laps round the house each day to gather your clothing is a cheaper way to keep fit than joining a gym. Then it dawned on me that the cost of rebuilding your house is probably slightly more than gym membership. I hope it won't be too long until your kitchen is all in one place and in the right room.

Sounds like a great excuse for fish and chips!
Good luck with the on-going project,
Ben
