    I've decluttered my coffee and am now going to do a HHI.

  • 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

    Hurrah santapenguin.gif

    Is there no end to the Power of the Fly-Ladies ?

    Well done on all the fiddling and furtling! :j

    On Soappie's Shiny Floor

    What was old and worn
    not nice to see
    is now all shiny bright
    and we've oohed and aahed
    at Soappie's pics
    much to her delight

    There was a young lady called Valli
    who would occasionally go quite do-lally
    if her pegs didn't match
    she'd buy another batch
    and only then would she rally

    Best I can do I'm afraid!
