Telephone Woes
Our telephone woes continue – Crackly line and virtually no internet connection most of the time. Mind you, this could have something to do with it.

A Most Expensive Cat Flap
No, this isn’t an excuse for me to tell the joke I saw yesterday about the dyslexic Yorkshire man – He was wearing a Cat Flap (sorry!), it’s actually an update on the conservatory and the fact that it now has a cat flap. If you thought the cat flap itself was expensive at £60...
Conservatory – Up she goes!
Things have been happening fast and furiously with the conservatory today. The builders have started work on the frame so things are really starting to take shape now.
Conservatory Progress
Progress has been a little slower than expected on the conservatory so far this week because the builders have had some issues with their van so didn’t always have the necessary materials on the replacement van that they had to use. They were also called away this morning to tidy up a few loose ends...
The Highs and Lows of Customer Service
It’s been a frustrating week here in our Simple Life of Luxury. Trying to get through to customer service representatives can be a nightmare. As I mentioned in a previous post, our phone line went down again in exactly the same way that it did at Christmas. We could see the wires hanging off the...
A Busy Day Home Alone

Conservatory – Up go the Walls
For those of you keeping up to date with our conservatory build, here’s the latest update. Another nice dry, sunny day for the builders and today they’ve bricked up all of the exterior walls and have also laid the paving slabs around the conservatory.

It was another bright sunny day here for the builders so work has been progressing well. They’ve started on the brickwork and have got on well with it having built both the internal and external walls up to what will be floor level. The bricks seem to match nicely with those on the house so...
Blogging from my iPad
I’ve been using my ipad more and more. It’s perfect for a quick check of my email and for browsing the web. I’ve been reading kindle books on it and of course playing a few games. Actually creating anything on it and upswing it productively isn’t quite so easy though. I haven’t even really been...
Bad First Aid
When Simon the windsurfer turned up on the door step with blood gushing from a wound on his head I was fairly ashamed that all I could find to stem the flow of blood was a bit of old tracksuit trousers from the rag bag under the sink! They were clean but not really ideal!...
