A little update. So after arriving home June 1st and expecting to go home to a house that had most of the building work planned done to it we are finally able to go home August 12! These last 8/9 weeks have been horrendous. All the work has been done to create an easier place for Evie to live in. An incompetent surveyor assigned to us especially is largely to blame and we've had a million issues ranging from the wrong staircase being installed, builders not getting paid by bosses and downing tools. Poor Kelly even got shouted at in the street by an irate builder hired from our neighbors to fix a problem they falsely tried to blame on our scaffolding. This made my blood boil more than anything ever! We've been cramped up at my in laws which has been stressful to say the least. We probably have got on each other's nerves but I can't blame the in laws as they've been brilliant putting up with all of us. I don't know what we would have done if they hadn't have moved closer to us a few years ago. Thankfully they are in the final week of work, if they all turn up! Carpets are being fitted on the 12th of August and then we are back in ASAP!
Unfortunately the holiday we returned from seems a long time ago and things that normally you remember and look back on are hard to remember.
Only one thing we can do do and that's go back again in 2021! Here's hoping!:)
