Catch up

I've got to the point where I am struggling with it all: winter, recurrence of old shoulder injuries [both sides, of course; how could it be otherwise?], and a general feeling of being totally overwhelmed/running-to-stand-still.

We've actually decided to take Christmas and New Year as holiday, as there is no hope of us managing to decorate in time for us to move in to the house, and we are both really tired (and I'm pretty fed up).

So, I'm catching up with blogging, in the hope that in the new year I will go back to updating more regularly whenever any progress happens.  Here goes:
  • Saturday, 22 November: We visited Benchmarx as it was the last day of their sale.  Jason had recommended their kitchens, and said it would be a good reduction.  We met with Dan, the kitchen planner, and he had priced up a kitchen from the CAD drawing/list of what we wanted we'd gone through with Howden's [not sure how Jason achieved that; not sure I want to know].  We went to the house to be met by an absence of (some) trees, and the presence of radiators in every room.  Three conifers nearest the front door had fallen victim to Adam's chainsaw - yay!
