    So is Southern Comfort ;):p :rolleyes: :D

    I usually recommend whiskey for a sore throat, kills the germs and numbs the pain, however if Sarah feels like i did last week alcohol is the very last thing she'll want:o

    Errr - yes! Should have mentioned that it's good for sore throats but NOT so good if the sore throat is accompanied by sickness :o

    Is the move not happening Nicki?

    The move is pending being offered a house :rolleyes: So I'm doing things here that I can easily undo and take with me ;) I already have a carrier bag where I've got a tube of filler ready to go around and the fill all the holes when we move. All the curtains and roller blinds are mine so they'll be going. Infact if its not nailed down (screwed down it will be removed ;):rotfl::rotfl: ) or came with the house its going with me! I've also still got little pots of paint for each room so I can touch up any obvious damage, its all a case of waiting and hoping that I can get somewhere soon. I'm hoping to get a 2 bed-semi with front & back gardens as that seems to be what's on offer in the areas that I'm interested in :D Am also hoping that any house I move to will have a decent sized bath, and if its got a shower that can be used I'll be very happy as I miss my morning showers ;)

    I was wondering where pigpen was too, hope you are ok!

    DP back earlier than expected but dinner still cooking, one grotbag child in the bath (brought baby laptop upstairs) one to go. Might make him sort the second one so I can do food, I'm hungry!

    Another washer load in, another 5 and I might have caught up...
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    hows the sofa? has it shrunk overnight????

    Er no mum and dad have been over this morning and we think we have come up with a solution but it means moving all the furniture around in the LR and losing the display cabinet so it's not an easy job as the units are really big and heavy!
