So much has happened since January, I can hardly remember what the place was like before! The famous pink kitchen was demolished in January and a lovely new one installed in what was the old spare room. The huge, ramshackle old boiler was ripped out and a swanky new one put in and the biggest change was the creation of a new room for baby where the old open plan kitchen used to be. We are still living in a building site but slowly the dust is settling and we are finally beginning to see our new home taking shape. My Mum and Dad have been incredible, Mum helping out with the painting, painting and yet more painting and Dad has tiled the kitchen walls and floor.
However, their work is not yet complete - our plumber has let us down so poor Dad has to step into his shoes and fit the new radiator before helping to screed the floor and finally laying the new wood flooring! I think Mum & I will probably go shopping whilst the boys do all this! Ollie has been working incredibly hard too, not only learning to put up doors, door frames and all sorts of DIY jobs including some gardening, but the poor boy has had to look after me too and that's no mean feat at the moment,especially with my hormones behaving incredibly badly! I think all three of them deserve a medal.

Really impressed with your progress! What's so wonderful is the great support your folks have given you. I always admire that. Wish I could be more available - but DO put me to work in my break 16 May! I mean it.
