Well I spent yesterday shifting and clearing until I had to stop because of my back. I finished most of it this morning, bar the glory hole under the stairs, and the washer, etc. which I'll get Peter to shift out to wherever.

Well there's no sign of Peter yet, so he may not have finished the other job he was on last week. However, I am now camping out in a small downstairs room, and the fridge is in the hall. There's carpet and underlay all over the yard where I've cut it up and hauled it out (about 40 square yards of it) - and I think I may have found the source of at least one part of my damp problem - there's a leaky radiator pipe in the living room, given away by the nice salty and damp patch that was behind the TV table. It looks like it's been there a long time too.

So that'll be the first thing that Peter will have to tackle - whenever he starts - and he doesn't know about it yet!

Now I just have to work out what i am going to do with my baby granddaughter for the day!
