We've just returned from two weeks of bliss. No house chaos to deal with. Instead, lazy mornings, French food, cheese, wine, pastries, swimming, reading, dozing and most importantly, spending time as a family. We had a fantastic time.
We arrived back on Sunday Matt wasn't due back to work until Thursday. On Monday and Tuesday we both felt strange and on Wednesday we realised why. We'd agreed not to talk about the house whilst we were away so when we came back, we were faced with the reality of the task ahead of us.
Matt opened one of the windows in David's room and it nearly fell off its hinge. He's finally agreed that the only real option for us is to replace the windows. I arranged for a local company to come round and give us a quote on Tuesday and will get a few more before we decide who to go with. As long as we can find the cash it will be the next big job. We've also decided to commission an architect to draw up plans and costs for a ground floor, and possible second floor extension. I have absolutely no idea what we can do so we need an expert to come up with some suggestions and costs. At least then we will know how much money we need. Baby steps.
