The Bathroom:Very, very nearly done.  The floor is in, the bath is in, the tiles are up, the lights are up.  All that remains is the flooring trim to be put down, the bath to be sealed, the sink to be put in and the cupboard to be hung.  Tonight it should all be finished.

Damp: The insurance company sent round a loss adjuster who told me that if it's a leaking pipe I'm covered, but if it's rising damp I'm not.  The plumbers haven't been able to work out what it actually is, so I'm getting the preservation company I previously used to do some investigation work.  Currently praying that it is a leak, so that I can get any expenses back.

Stress: Will hopefully now decrease now that I don't have plumbers, joiners, tilers and miscellaneous others ringing our doorbell at 8am every day.

Toy Story 3D: Will be viewed tonight, if all goes well.

Strange as it is to say.
I hope you have a leaking pipe.

Thank you - me too!

excellent! here's hoping that it is the leak. I suppose you have to get the wood treated either way, but it'd be nice not to pay for it.

If the previous owner of my flat had had an ounce of brains, he'd have claimed for the leak that soggified most of the kitchen floor (and put a hole in it!). Could have been a whole new kitchen for 'free'. As it was, I sorted it out myself for about £100. Hadta cut out and rebuild almost the whole floor though....

Your tradespeople are punctual?

My tradespeople have been _fantastic_.

If it wasn't for me not knowing to strip the wallpaper and the tiler's girlfriend's aunt dying it would have been smooth as silk the whole way through.
