    Deep joy...according the surveyor our walls arn't suitable for cavity wqll insulation because we have two old chimney breasts with rubble in them. He was very nice and very polite but said that they couldn't guarantee the work as there would be spots of differing tempretures which would cause problems for us later down the line. I'm quite suprised at his honesty...would definately recommend them to anyone in the south wales area, Thankfully the house isan't really cold yet anyway, so its not a problem, we'll just make the loft insulation even thicker.

    Right i have had my scan, everything looks ok and my coil is still in place. No strings. I now have to have an hysterscopy ti remover it. As my appointment wasn't until 16 december i went and asked if i could maybe get an earlier slot due to bleeding for so long. Well good news i have got one for next tuesday thats 7 weeks earlier, i may just have this coil out for xmas now!!!:j

    Whilst at the hospital i saw my aunt she had just been to see the specialist who is now referring her as he is not sure about doing an hysterectomy but doing chemo instead. Not sure if thats a good sign or not! The hospital she has now been referred is a very good hospital too. So fingers crossed xx

    right for today i am just gonna sweep through downstairs as little gremlin is no in bed so upstairs will have to wait for tomorrow as i will be working tonight. So i am joining hhc a little late but count me in 2:40 to 3:10

    Forgive me but someone (cannot see who now)mentioned i seem so upbeat with everything that is going on, i have to be hun or i will crumble i have had some days where i did not want to get out of bed but the kids make me and its a good thing if it wasn't for my fabulous kids i would be mega depressed by now.
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
  • Thank you for your reminders. I have collected my prescription.
    I just have time to iron my curtains before I do the school run.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    Hi everyone

    We were running late for school so I said to jump in the car and we'd drive to Nanan's and run the last bit. Got in the car, key in ignition.....click click click argh flat battery :mad: cue very fast walk/run to school! We got there in time just.

    So spent ages ringing round and finding a battery for the car this morning. Then went shopping to morrisons, got extra gardening vouchers for school :) plus 5p/litre off petrol for £40 spend (spent £46) and took some flowers to DH, it was lovely and bright up there.

    About to do the afternoon school run, A has messy church this afternoon and W has swimming lesson so I will see you all this evening prob after the restaurant. :wave:

    In my HHC I deep cleaned the bathroom - it is no longer green with mould - just green and hideous. Help please, the blind is mouldy (and green and hideous) and I want to replace it. Do I need to buy a 'special' bathroom blind or can I just buy a normal Dunelm cheapo? The window it is on will shortly cease to be part of the bathroom and will be in DS2s bedroom so working life not an issue.

    Mr T due between 3 and 5 so I have to stay downstairs now. We have lived here for 22 months and we still haven't fixed the door bell!?! Anyone up for a 3.15-3.45 then?

    Chunky, good news on the appointment. I hate waiting for stuff.

    It was me chunky, and I still think you're doing brilliant keeping upbeat, some people would let the kids get them down even more, so it's great that you are enjoying them too... they seem lovely...

    Sorry, when I read the beginning bit first I thought you were going to have a hysterectomy to remove it, thought that was a bit drastic :eek: , really pleased that you are in Tuesday though - you sound like you need this done asap... enjoy the bed rest while you can and special hugs to your aunt...

    Hi A&W - before you go buying a new battery, check you haven't left the radio/lights on or that it's not something simple first (like the door being left open - done that before myself) could save you a few pennies.... good luck!

  • I'm back from my ECDL and have done most of my errands so hopefully I might not have to go to town tomorrow.
    chunky - you take it easy now until you get sorted out and big hug for your aunt - they will be doing what they think is the best solution for her. You are a star - your friend has done well with your help - long may it continue.

    lots of flying being done this morning - way to go ladies!!!

    pigpen - are back from flattening the principal yet??? did you let rip and give him both barrells????
