    Thank you for all the advice on 'home times'! Dusty, I think you're spot on, whatever I suggest is totally unreasonable! DD has a group of friends, although she is rather keen on one in particualr, but she wouldn't tell me if he's actually a boyfriend yet.

    pigpen - you get your 17 year old to come in at that time - I'm truly impressed!

    I have had a good time at the hairdresser's,and feel much better now - I hate my hair being too long and out of shape. The cloakroom is being measured for a design and quote on Friday. I have also emptied out all the glasses, which were in two different cupboards, sorted out the odd ones to freecycle, washed them all, and restocked one cupboard with the matching ones we actually use.

    The teens have done their school shelves, so this is going well today!

    polkadot - it's really important that you feel comfortable with your GP, and if you don't then you should try another. Very easy for me to say, and not so easy to do! However, I would ring back, and ask to see another GP, or the practice nurse. Meantime, a friendly local pharmacist should be able to answer questions. Have a hug to be going on with, and some virtual chocolate!

    Hi all, anyone know how to stop water leaking through your ceiling from overfilling a tank?

    Ahh poor you! I have no idea what you should do, I'd completely panic if that was me. Hope you get it sorted out soon!

    All I can think is - if WE do what she tells us her munchkins are hardly going to argue, are they?;)

    Honestly I DO want to tidy up. Really I do. Yes. Course I do. :p Yes.
