The house is mine

Saturday 30^th June

Hurrah – builders have left, shiny new double glazing is in. Amazing how quickly the money is spent compared to how long it takes to save it all up.

Still experiencing feint sentiment that I have been lazy and tight by not doing wood, and have contributed to the general uglification of Britain. But mainly am jolly pleased as new windows are shiny and white and much nicer than crappy aluminium numbers we replaced.

Only downer is that workmen have managed to destroy our internet connection and phone line, so am having to write blog entries into Word and copy/paste when everything's set up again. The Bf is very impatient and frustrated with the whole affair, and is doing his usual “it’s all completely fucked” melodrama that ensues whenever anything mechanical/ technical/ technological breaks down. Not helped by on-call-hudgie-budgieness either.
