DIY Doom

Nirtomorse + sanding stairs, lifting carpet to find underlay has disintegrated into black dust, had to Hoover stairs twice (my normal annual quota) meant we didn't get started painting until 4pm. And had to phone carpet place and order new underlay.
Building Inspector came and signed off extension, told us we could put toilet in our 'store' without another building warrant- eh? Bemused, as knocked back at planning permission stage and now he's saying "It'll be a'right."
Girls whooping it up visiting the Lego exhibition in Edinburgh and going on open air bus. They've just facetimed us. Than goodness they're away- nelly + stressed parents doing bad DIY = potential disaster.
