On another very wet but mild day, the decorator finished wall-papering the kitchen and I laid the carpet in the bathroom and cleared the kitchen floor ready for the vinyl floor-laying.

Today was a mild and wet day. We have had so much rain that it defies belief. After tending Sam, I started laying the carpet in the bathroom and managed to finish the under-lay by lunchtime. It took me just about the rest of the day to lay the actual carpet which was tricky involving, as it did, both bathroom and toilet in a single length with one join in the width. The decorator came this morning to finish off papering the kitchen and did this by lunchtime. I settled up with him at the same time and heard that he has still not received the money he is owed for another big job and the customer now looks very dodgy.

Late this evening, I cleared out and cleaned up the kitchen ready for its Vinyl to be laid and for Diana to be able to get at it. I am not looking forward to laying this as the floor-covering comes in one piece three metres wide by six long! It will be a considerable achievement if I can lay that in a single morning, particularly as it must be cut into three cupboards at the same time!
