Things really aren't looking good at all for the deadline of Dom's birthday party. Every evening last week was dominated for both of us with preparing a presentation for the MD for Friday.

Yesterday it was hard to get motivated. We went shopping for tiles, a gazebo, plants etc and when we got back Dom started putting the skirting board on, but this also turned out to be a slow job, so there's only a couple of bits on there now and I can't really start painting until that's done.

Today, we were sitting having a cup of tea with breakfast when I heard what I thought was a dripping noise coming from near the front door. Turns out that the pipes that feed the bath taps (not Dom's workmanship) have leaked through the ceiling, so it had to be fixed. Dom is working on that now.

Nothing is ever easy!
