When you've come to terms with the idea that you're not having children, you've reassessed your life goals, felt relieved that you're comfortable with your selfish lifestyle, sleeping in; life just throws you a curly one.

Footnote on the new house

So we finally got the keys to the house late on Monday.
We had a meeting with the hydronic people on the Tuesday and we have nutted out what goes where.
Wednesday the Builder started to demolish the bathroom. We were to have a debrief late in the day after he had gutted the room.
Well, it seems they built them solid back in the day (80s maybe?). The Builder had quite a time with the wire they had used to reinforce the plaster walls, so it could hold up the layer of cement that the tiles were laid on. Not to mention the cement sheet on the floor for the tiles. And the bathtub weighs a ton!
The Architect is going in tomorrow for a few hours to give the Builder a hand. This potential drawback will cost us time. A move in before Cheezel is born is looking shaky, but we are being cautiously optimistic.
Good news is that painting will take 3 days, carpets should be 1 day, and the hydronic takes 2 days.
Its just the bathroom/s that will hold us up.
7 and a half weeks til B-day...
