Renovation

We are finally getting our dining room and bathroom renovated. This involves removing and rebuilding a wall between the two rooms, replumbing so the new bathroom actually has water and drainage, and then get a toilet suite fitted.

I have to admit being rather in awe of people who can do stuff like that. With the DIY skills that I have, flat-pack furniture can be a struggle! I wish I could do stuff like building a wall, but it's just beyond me.

After day one, the new wall is up, another wall is down, and the dining room light switch has been moved.
Day two should consist of the remaining wall getting taken down, and if I'm lucky a new doorway cut out upstairs where we are going to put in a new toilet.

Updates as it progresses.

TV Challenge

In line with my previous posts, I've decided to set myself a challenge. As of now, I am going to watch only shows made in Britain.

I'm making 3 exceptions - Flash Forward, cos I'm half way through and really enjoying it; Fringe, because I got the season 1 box set for free; and CSI:Miami, cos who in their right mind could abandon Horatio Caine?!

But with those exceptions, I plan to boycott all US shows.

Why? Well basically because I'm overloading. There are just too many shows I'm trying or want to watch.
24, Desperate Housewives, House, Caprica, CSI, Fringe, CSI:Miami, Flash Forward, True Blood, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, Glee, the list goes on and on, and there just aren't enough hours in the day. Or week. Or year.

I'll keep you updated on how I get on.
