Good gracious! No wonder you haven't been posting, and don't worry about trying to get on to the computer with all this going on.
I admit, I was getting a bit worried after you said that the first chap said the boiler was unsafe - in case it had exploded or leaked gas and left you in a bad way, so I'm relieved to find that you're okay. I'm like that - always worried about 'what might happen', with a vivid imagination.
But what a nightmare, Elaine. No wonder you're tired. Even though you are not doing anything, it's such an almighty strain with men milling around and finding new problems, then changing their mind - all that uncertainty, no chance to relax, no real privacy. It does sound terrible.
I hope it won't take too long to get your kitchen finished so you can live a little.
Hope the worst is over and things get easier for you next week.
(For when you do get back - What sort of dogs do you have? We are dog lovers but didn't replace them when they passed on because of my mum living nearby with dementia and my husband's health problems. Now that Mum has gone, and John okay again (we hope), we're beginning to think about getting one again, because they are lovely, and they keep you fit.)
Very best wishes,
Marcelle xx
Hello Marcelle,
Thought I would fill you in on the kitchen it's coming together I have units and cupboards in they fitted the sink unit and my hob still waiting for my oven to go in.
The walls have just about dried out so, still some electrics to do and wood work then the floor and decorating but they don't come every day but then again they don't keep you up to date on what they are doing.
Just been stuck in the house all week I will be glad when it's done now but they are pleasant guys at least they speak to me and the joiner kept saying come and have a look and is it ok for you which was really nice of him.
Going out tomorrow for a meal with my son I should have gone for my bday 1st March so finally getting there now looking forward to that.
You asked about my dogs I have two Westies boy and girl I was going to breed with them but they are more like brother and sister she would not entertain him that way any way he's had the chop now they have to have it done before they are 9 to stop prostrate cancer he's 11 now.
She is 9 this year and again she will need doing this year as well these two are my life and they have helped me get through loosing Gordon I have to get out of bed to see to them they motivate me.
So, I would go for a dog Marcelle they are loving, caring and just a joy to have around they lift your spirits and keep you fit like you said but we are not fit at the moment I cannot get out with them but I have a big yard they can go in when the men have gone other wise I put them on the lead and walk them round the garden.
Glad your husband is feeling better and hope you are moving on from loosing you're mum I wish sometimes my mum was here so I can just say love you mum but I have good memories.
Well that's it for now will let you know what Monday brings if they turn up.
Hugs and love
Elaine xx
