On the New Bike – Off the New Bike – Lessons in Wallpapering Today was supposed to be really exciting – it turned out to be quite depressing. Mostly. It did in fact end on a high – but we’ll have to talk about a few lows before then. I’ve been very excited about the […]
So, we thought we had mice in our loft but, after further inspection, a little web research, and discussions with other people about the size of droppings, we’ve decided we have rats. Booooo! They seem confined to the loft above our extension and the wall cavities. After calling the council and hearing that it would […]

We’ve done it! We’ve had an offer accepted on a house! Actually, it happened a lot more quickly than I thought it would. So quickly that I didn’t get to write anything about the house-hunting process. You build it up in your head as being this huge thing that’s really hard and takes ages to […]
