That sinking feeling

We are having the bathroom done. It was supposed to be finished a week and a half ago, and due to the fact that the plumber has flu and the bathroom is (of course) far more complicated than it should be, we are still cleaning our teeth in the kitchen sink and crunching over plaster dust to get to the loo.
It is the smallest bathroom in the world, so the transformation is not even that exciting, but we are enjoying the exploits of Boxing Sid (the man who is boxing in the pipes) and Dave T Plumber, as my husband has nicknamed him. They have a positive genius for cracking tiles and making mess - and there is currently a bath on the driveway and a selection of plumbing materials in our bedroom (wasn't really the look we were going for).
In the middle of this, we are of course having people round for dinner tonight. And we're cooking... roast duck. what a sensible choice when the house is in chaos. Still, should be fun. Just hoping the bathroom is finished soon. I keep finding bits of plaster in my hair.
