Pains in the arse!

Rather an apt title for me I think!.

Start of the school hols, good so far , although we have an army of builders with us yet again, which is exactly what every mother in the country wants during this rather pleasant interlude from school.

I always look forward to our school hols, too much time spent at school I think.

But due to the bad weather and a stroppy roofer , our latest project spiraled into the first and of course will flow into the second week of the holidays, which doesn't make me feel too happy, as after today things started to go horribly wrong.

Shower tray, 765 x 765 mm. All we needed was a base to fit it, not to much too ask considering the same builders have just built a rather nice extension for us, did they get it right - of course not, but being true builders they fudge the f**k up by making up some hairbrained idea of chiselling walls to make said shower tray fit, well not for them actally to chisel the walls but for the poor plumber who's job it will be to fit the shower to chisel the walls.

My idea (note 5 days ago when cock up was first done) was to knock the thing out and rebuild it to size, not a wild idea I thought, but obviously fell on deaf ears until the 11th hour when I needed the bloody thing to fit so as I could tile the shower area in readiness for the poor plumber to fit it all.

So complete frustration ensues, and after stamping my foot in an email to the builder boss, I get the wall cut out and a shower tray fitted snugly to the shower base, leaving poor poor craftsman late to go home on a Friday night wishing he had built the base in the first place and had not left it to "I cant use a level or a tape measure properly, anyway someone else can sort out my mess" fellow builder.

Please!

So now I have the joyous task of tiling the area, tiling part of the floor in readiness for the poor plumber and for the return of the builders on Monday to knock out several walls and move a few doors- 2 days after I have pissed them off over the bodged up shower tray base.

So all bodes well for Monday then.

Too top it all , Husband has had a crap week, my sons had his hair cut and hates it, and we are going to my mother in laws for a lunch I can't eat.

My life is so full of joy!
