Bloody builders

The bathroom renovation that was supposed to take 5 days has been stretched to 6 days and now 7 days, possibly a little more. We were supposed to have the bath in by Tuesday or Wednesday by the latest. It went in late on Thursday, so we were visiting a friend to use his shower and washing in the kitchen sink for a few days. The toilet still does not flush, though instead of using a bucket there is now a pipe next to it, which sort of works. The tiler was here till nearly10pm last night, and I needed the loo from about 5pm, but there is no door on the bathroom so I couldn't even just ask to use the bathroom quickly.

Yesterday we were told that they are tiling the floor today, so we won't be able to use the bathroom at all for 24 hours! Thank goodness its a Saturday so we can stay over with friends (who were meant to be staying over with us) - had it been a weeknight we would have struggled. Given the mood we are both in I think we would have stayed in a B&B and sent the bill to our landlord!

Grrrrr!
