Managed to both buy and lay the flooring for in my hall. Am now a happy camper. Only 99999 other things that still need finishing.

Did also find a letter to the previous inhabitant that they had dropped by to disconnect him from gas and electricity and that if he doesn't pay his energy bill before tomorrow, they'll disconnect him. Sucker! Errrm... Wait a second, Hey that means they'll disconnect me too! Eeep! Cursed loudly and will probably get to do a whole lot more cursing in the morning while trying to contact the proper people.
