  • Still off list at the mo' - back to work this afternoon after a month off so that feels a bit weird but press on...

    Off to munch some brekkie then will start paint flinging at 10 - can I tempt anyone to a HHC at 10?

    :xmastree: for you :D I'll join the HHC, then off to the doc's :o

    Please share my joy - the CH didn;t work when I tried it earlier in the week, and this morning there was no hot water, either :eek::eek::eek: I had a strip wash and did some thinking. I then twisted and twiddled; I fiddled and furtled and it now works :T:snow_laug_party_:dance::happyhear:smileyhea:kisses3::shocked::easter_ba:icotbaske I have hot water, and a warm house :j
