    Ell, I've been stepping over this hole for about 4 years, since the kids jumped off my bed and went through the floor. We have another gorming where a radiator leaked a couple of years ago, not so important as it's in the spare room.

    I'm sure he could have a go at fixing it, but it's getting him to do it. My idea of buying a sheet of metal 9summink hard and strong enough obviously), bigger than the hole to patch it didnt go down well - he just tutted and said I dont understand what's involved :D

    spud - I have this vision of you getting up in the night - half asleep- to go for a pee and falling down the hole :eek:

    No, I 'do the step' even without my glasses on. I think after all this time I'd still do it out of habit if we fixed the hole :rotfl:

  • SAd isnt it really when you consider I have a MIL and FIL around the corner and a SIL less than 4 miles away and we've had 2 nights alone since DD was born 6.5 years ago...

    No wonder we dont even kiss anymore...
    aaw, Bunny - where're they at?
    We didn't have any nights out either - my 'family' are miles away and OH can't stand his sister so...

    Aww hun, that must be tough. Me and DH dont ever go out together either, havent done for about 10 years because we have no family to babysit. We're lucky that neither of us work 9 to 5, so we do get some time together without the kids. We never go 'out' together though.

    If I can help, give me a shout. I can always come down and have em for an evening for you :D

    I probably will get that fed up that I will Maz. If I knew what to buy I'd do it ;)

    Surely there's summink I can patch it with that's strong enough to walk on, yet thin enough to go under the carpet :confused:
