Subject: Enjoy it Gilly

I hope your retirement goes well. I'm sort of semi myself, but really enjoying no alarm clocks and getting called out in the middle of the night because some bliddy prat pushed the wrong button, and wouldn't admit it.
Svetta and I are now into our latest project. We're putting in an en-suite into our spare bedroom for when Vera or Eddie comes to visit us again. Both not properly toilet trained as weans, so they can now pee on their own toilet seats. and I have strategically placed the loo cleaner brush thingy, right in view.
Of course, Svetta being a woman, she has incorporated redecorating all the bedrooms and upstairs hallway into the budget. I've also got to pay for redecorating the hallway between the bedrooms, and "while we're at it we might as well recarpet the whole lot and put in a new shower in our bathroom". I thought the new ensuite might cost $5000, but doing up the whole upstairs has turned into nearer $20,000. I didn't think we'd have to raise the floor by 8 inches to get the jobby pipe the required slope.

It all started when my big Sis Val was here in July. I casually mentioned, over a few sherberts out in the "sitooterie", that it might be a good idea to put in an en-suite to the bedroom Val and John were in. I've now been sleeping on the sofa for a month while the upstairs is torn apart.
UPDATE:
Halfway through papering our bedroom, and the two new en-suites are finished. Fred has an eye infection due to all the dust and I've got to pay for his eye drops as it was all my fault for suggesting it in the first place. We fall out every 10 minutes over minutae, but still kiss each other goodnight at bedtime.
