So - yesterday my kitchen was completely gutted, and the fittings in my bathroom/water closet replaced (For some stupid reason my loo is in a separate room no bigger than a stall in a public bathroom - no idea why)

I had no water from 8 am to when the workmen finally sodded off at 5pm, and ended up nipping two blocks over to my parents house just before I collected Rowan in order to use their bathroom. (This is compounded by the fact it's that week of the month right now - my timing couldn't be better [/snark]). When they replaced my toilet, they took the original away complete with seat, which pissed me off as it was a 'family seat' I bought myself a couple of years ago; it has a smaller seat tucked away in the lid for toddlers just learning to use the 'big kids potty', and cost me about thirty quid. Okay it was starting to get a little worse for wear underneath, but still! I mentioned to a workman that I wanted to keep it, but they still took it away to the skip at the end of the day. *scowls* I'm being nagged by

thaya_rayal to complain to the council about that, and I probably will.

Tea time was a nightmare as we're coping with a kettle, toaster and microwave, and the only food we have is what can be stored in boxes in my living room. I felt like I was stocking up for hibernation on saturday! Managed to get Rowan to eat some noodles - which is wierd as he kicks up a fuss anytime i do a stirfry - but he later whined he was hungry again. I was still hungry myself so I tried to order a pizza, and what do you know? They don't deliver here anymore! Both our local delivery outlets are next door to each other on Crwys Rd, and while Dominos' website warned me they don't deliver (which is annoying as I used to be able to order when I lived with my parents), I had to actually call Pizza Hut Express to find this information. So then I had to placate a grumpy four year old who'd been looking forward to a pizza, thank you very much. So I ended up nuking one of the pasta dishes, but he refused to eat it 'cause he's got this unexplained hatred of sauces. *sigh* I really hope they get the job done quickly.

Though getting home from the school run this morning to hear the workmen muttering stuff like "There's hazardous!" while putting my units together? Does not inspire confidence. Lets hope I'm hearing the comments out of context, yes?
