Just a regular evening...

So, further to yesterday's report, of course a few things changed! The oven isn't in Chingford, it's in Bradford, and won't make it to Chingford until the end of next week. So I bought the same oven from Dixons - it was cheaper and will be delivered to Deeds Grove on Wednesday. So we went to pick up the cooker hood from Comet in Wycombe. Except it wasn't in Comet in Wycombe, it was somewhere else, and won't arrive until Tuesday. The gas hob, which also should arrive on Tuesday, was already in Wycombe, so we took that home instead.
Just waiting for the washing machine today...

It's DIY mayhem at Deeds Grove at the moment. The windows for the porch are in the garage, the door for the porch is leaning against the shed in the back garden, the kitchen is on the driveway, and the paving stones for the steps are in the garage. The Summerhouse is in pieces in the back garden, half the garden fence is on the decking, the cooker hood is Comet in Wycombe, the gas hob is in a warehouse somewhere, and the oven is in Chingford. Have I missed anything? Oh, the washing machine! The broken one is in the kitchen, it's new and improved replacement arrives tomorrow....

Up and running...

OK, here's yet another attempt to get a blog going to keep family and friends up to date with the comings and goings in the Armstrong household.
