New fusebox all fitted on Saturday (well, they call it a "consumer unit" these days, but stuff that, it's a fuse box to me :)) with only as much disruption as you're bound to get when you have to turn the electricity off for several hours.

We made sure to out the freezer on "Super" overnight beforehand - it's supposed to be able to cope with being switched off for up to 24 hours, but no need to make things any more difficult than we need to be.

The electrician seemed dead impressed that we'd cleared him space to work in the cupboard under the stairs - it seemed like basic common sense to us, but apparently not to everybody :) He spent a fair amount of time in said cupboard, making sense of the electrical spaghetti, and we said he'd have to change his name to Harry Potter :)

Anyway, it's all done and up to the current standards now, so that's good.
