Progress; or not

I've ploughed to a halt in the garage as our kitchen has been partly demolished (deliberately), and my time is occupied in plumbing, wiring and joinery. :( Harrumph. Apparently it's to be finished by Christmas. Bah Humbug!

To ease the pain, I've ordered my wheels - 10 Revolution Classic 5-spoke. :) :) Susit and I had organised a joint order, getting ourselves a 30% discount and halving the delivery, but Steve's house purchase problems have postponed his order, so it's down to 20%. Hey Ho. I think you'll still beat me to the road Steve. Abingdon 2005 is out of the question now, I'm afraid. Well, for the car anyway.

Work's a pain in the a** as well- good old NHS! 7 staff short out of 17, and they still think we should be capable of maintaining the full level of service!! :mad:

My goodness Chris you sound amight p-ssed with the good old NHS. I'll come and be a gasser for locum rates or even half that seeing as I am a bit short of experince.
As for the house purchase problem, no problem the seller we were buying from 4 weeks after accepting our offer withdrew the house from sale. The very day we were completing the sale of our house. got the lawers bill last monday. Would have easily paid for 10 wheels at the full price never mind a discount. So no house, no double garage, no wheels. Not to mention a mega pisses off wife. Have managed to get finger out and clear garage to complete rebuild of Midas so that Stratos can get in before Christmas. Painting sunday come snow, hail, or rain.
