Just had a thought - I knowwww thats unusual for me!!!! - I hope you are all saving your used stamps to give to a charity/school/church or whatever.
I used to send to Guide dogs for the Blind but they dont take them anymore as they felt they werent getting enough money from them!! So now I send to hearing dogs for the deaf and they take postcards as well. Another bit of recycling that we can do!

toots I think the RSPB take the stamps as well, i normally collect mine during the year and then google search for somewhere to send them at the end of the year, seem to remember seeing something about RSPB during this year.

Eyes all tested and only minor changes so will wait and see if they send a money off voucher before buying new specs as I dont think work will pay this time as the biggest change is for reading not screen.

Oddjob - hope the ickyness doesnt last long, mine was just one night and fine the day after

I think that moon thing is right, I think I have a cold starting, which might put a downside on Mondays plans, and if I get a cough I'll no doubt cough all the way through Christmas performances!

TD might be fixed (I posted that as I didn't know either so info aswell really) as per instructions on internet, DP took the back off and put a pin in the thermostat to reset it, so far it seems to be working. It did make me wonder how much engineers make from call outs for these new fangled machines which trip out all the time. My last TD never ever did that which was over 25 years old when it was unrepairable. Just pleased he's managed to fit it in especially as one of my medical problems is playing up and DS2s wet his bed again, takes a while for spare duvet etc dry and I need them for tomorrow as Mum is staying. Saved me £500 if it continues to work ok! The instructions on the repair even says 'Put it back together until next time' which is about right! Been on 25 minutes and no error message so far, but I am not opening the door to check!

OJK ((hugs)) for you, Mrs OJK and the little OJKs too, bless them.
Kazm you can buy postage online, print it yourself, just need to weigh it on the kitchen scales then use http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/customerservice2?catId=69800729&mediaId=70200724
Sexymouse I usually get worming stuff etc online, they usually deliver within a couple of days
Greenbee what a nightmare with the tiles, to be honest I'd expect him to replace them, if he didn't know what he was doing he should have said! Don't know if these links might help

One of the companies might be able to advise what best to do

Kids are hungry and the house is freezing cold so I think I best pop the heater on and make some lunches.

Left shouty message at sorting office on their answering machine!

greenbee cant help re the tiles but agree with lil_me - he should replace/sort as required at his expense and to your satisfaction - should never have started if he wasnt sure!
