MA-ybe not

After a busy week at school and the new home I'm probably not going to pursue the MA in Education. The school offers excellent in-house training that a formal qualification would struggle to beat and my spare time is at a premium anyway...

So more on the new home. I got the keys on Wednesday and this weekend has been the first proper weekend of work. After conscripting the services of my immediate family I am ahead of target - both electricity and cold water are up and running and the minor issues* have been resolved. Today however, the presence of my toddler niece and a young cousin left there by her parents somewhat affected productivity!

(*minor issues: non-watertight connection to upstairs sink - minor dribbling, corroded overflow to bath - water dripping through the dining room ceiling, items found in different u-tubes - included toothbrush, earring, hair bobble, and earring)

Yep that's right Russ, Mark decorated his house on Sunday.

He stripped the walls in 19 minutes, painted them in 28mins and wallpapered the remaining ones in 11mins. Then we arranged the furniture that'd he'd bought in the morning. It's looking really nice now!
