Sunnygirl_2

Off to bed now, got to be up early (for a Saturday anyway) for DD's party. It's not her birthday 'til Sunday though so the house needs to be spick and span for IL's and my parents over for tea. Night night everyone.

lil_me

Night night Sunnygirl hope your DD has a wonderful weekend of parties and teas and that you survive........

Yawning lots, I need to have a look see what the most economical single room heater is, see if it's better than having the CH on, DPs always driving me insane because he has to be warm, but has said if we have a heater in here that works and I put it on a timer he won't have the whole house heated all the time. I think the fire eats loads of gas and I don't want him using it, so going to have a look around the forums see what info I can find....see what we're better off using.

Gryfon

hollyh...I'd leave him to walk or get a taxi as well! Go back to bed and stay warm...maybe stick a duvet on the sofa and put a message on the stairs telling him to sleep in the lounge as you don't want to be woken up!

hollyh

We don't live together ( thankfully;) ) so he can go back to his own house. I've just had to phone and wake his daughter up to leave a key out for him.:mad: I'm really cross especially as he did the same last week. This is only about the 4th time he's been out without me in the 4 yrs we've been together. Now i know why.:mad: :mad: :mad:

hollyh

I feel bad now he's just rung and asked me to pick him up. I said no but if anything happens i'll never forgive myself. If i did pick him up i'd have to wake up my stepdaughter ( again ) to come and babysit. I don't know my way around Bristol at all so i'd end up really lost.
