Renovation Project - Menopause versus toothache equals no winners!!!!!

I have had the night from hell and many women reading this will understand and those that don’t you have no idea what is in store for you!

At 4 am I woke with a feeling that somebody had tried to set fire to my skin from the inside and my body was trying to put it out with a bucket of sweat (gross I know but that is the only way to describe it)

I have had a night sweat or a hot sweat, yes I am approaching that dreadful female age. It takes a while to go down and a while longer before I can get back to sleep, my first thought was why didn’t this happen last year when we were freezing and had no heating, my second thought was, it was obviously named by a man, as a hot sweat does not describe what happened last night.

I get up and feel like crap, I’m not a good sleeper at the best of times, but this was dreadful.

But hey ho life goes on, and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of sympathy, did I? No I didn’t!!!!!  John has his toothache back and tells me how bad it is and is in a mood all day with his toothache!!!!

I’m normally a sympathetic person but for goodness sake, it‘s a toothache, someone has just tried to set me on fire from the inside!!!!!

So as you can imagine today is not a good day, but the work stops for nothing and we soldier on with some bickering throughout the day (well actually I think I could quite easily have murdered him every time he spoke to me today)

We spend the day working in different rooms, john is plastering the wall in the back bedroom, he has always been unhappy with this wall and at least now something good will come from today.

 By the end of the day the wall is finished as are the bits of plastering in the bathroom and on the stairs, we only have one more wall to plaster before we move on to the decorating and finishing.

That sounds so good to say, we are going to be finished soon!
