frausorge for the Christmas card - amazingly not quite the first to arrive, but the first from fandom.

The holes under the house have now been filled in with steel and concrete. However, there are fresh holes, this time in the side of the house (other side) as two of the windows in the dining room have been taken out (and squirrelled by FIL), and holes have been made in the walls, through which steel beams now protrude. There's a low bricked outline of the new dining room, currently covered with a long cloth of some kind as frost protection.
My liveable domain continues to shrink somewhat, as FIL now has the DVD player attached to his gigantic new telly (a free gift!) in the 'breakfast room' area of the current kitchen, and my TV watching in the actual lounge is down to my trashy wedding dress shows on the Virgin box. Which is unfortunate, as I really ought to re-watch the Backstreet documentary for Good, Seasonal Reasons. Ahem. And I don't think angsty boybands are FIL's thing.
On the positive side, we have picked out kitchen cupboard doors and worktops and taps and such. \o/

There doesn't seem to be much in my life besides looming Christmas and building work. No wonder my hair seems to be thinner!
