    omg.gif The boiler manufacturers - Worcester - apparently recommend that both PCBs in the boiler are changed at the same time - he changed one so now needs to source the other. If he can't find one locally this pm it will be Monday! When I am supposed to be at work! No hot water all weekend? unfair.gif Haven't had any since weds!
    Monday it is...

    Tiddles collected.. tax credits going up another £10 a week which will cover half my childcar costs for Tiddles so there is todays plus point.. I 'think' it is going up because DS1 is 17 this month.. but it may be a general increase.. I have no idea but I am not going to turn down money of any sort! I don't think I'll EVER understand why they send everything out in milli-plicate.. why do we need 4 copies of the same document??

    I MUST do something this afternoon.. may start with the front room and work my way to the kitchen.. and if any time is left I might well attack the bedroom.. it is a bear pit!

    Afternoon all

    One load of washing sulking on the line.

    Normal S&S of kitchen, vacuumed right through downstairs. Took a box of books from the living room (where DH has left it for 3 weeks "while he looks at them" but didn't look at them) and found a place for them in the spare room by moving stuff around.

    Wonder if he'll notice.....

    I don't think smilies are working for me either.

    Hope everyone's OK :)
  • Valli what a pita!! Thank goodness your parents are close enough to help out with showers and being 'in' for you!!

    In my HHC i hung out 2 loads of washing and reorganised the bottom drawer of my chest of drawers to get more X stuff in but still had to find a box for the rest LOL!!!! shredded a few things and generally put stuff away in the bedroom - this is going to take longer than i thought !!!!!!!!!

    Anyway I am having time out for a snack and a seat in the sun - havent seen it this nice for ages so I am going to enjoy!!!

    back at 1.30 for next HHC!!

    Peace will be mine
