    Hi all,

    Sorry been missing for a couple of days have been tackling a very big hotspot - our conservatory - it was the one thing in the house which i disliked when we bought (we are upside down so it comes off a bedroom which we use as a study) and as such has beccome my dumping ground. But seeing as we are getting some decent weather we need to go through it to get outside and i have been embarrassed (to say the least) at the state it had got into - BUT its now sparkling and is presentable from when people come round.

    sexymouse - great news very pleased to see

    havent read any further back than sexymouse news so hope all are well and surviving this hear, we had about half a dozen rumbles of thunder and hour ago but nothing else, think I have drank more water today than I normally do in a week!!

    will be back later to sort out a list for tomorrow.
