Just doing a list - say 2.15

Ooops, I've just finished! Have stripped bedding, got new bedding out, and have put a quilt over the mattress and put the sheet on over it. Then I sat on the bed and did loads of shredding, and then washed up about 3 things:o (I hate washing up)! Doesn't sound like I did much but it was a lot, honest guv!

Am looking at my recipe book now for chilli con carne as DH brought some mince and red kidney beans home that his mum gave him last night.

Ok, I'm going to knit with Jessica and !!!!!!!

OK... the woodstove people (due to faffing about on their part) can't guarantee that they'll get the new hearth on time for installation on Nov. 30th, which, as I've told them before, is the ONLY date I can do this year, or for the foreseeable future.

They've suggested that they could do the installation with the existing hearth (which would be cheaper) and therefore guarantee the date, but they won't guarantee that the existing hearth won't be damaged when they open up the fireplace.

As the initially didn't think they'd need a new hearth, but told me during the survey that it was advisable to ensure that the stove was level, I'm not quite clear why they're changing their minds again...

I'm tempted to go with keeping the existing hearth (although it's quarry tiles on the outside and just a cement hearth in the fireplace, so when the fireplace is opened up it might not look great), but wondered what you lot thought - and whether anyone knows how easy it would be to fit a new hearth after the stove was installed if there are any problems...

Thoughts/advice appreciated!!!

Thank you all very much for all your hugs. Tess has gone now. I chickened out at the last minute and DH went on his own. It was better because I was already blubbering before they left the house.

The vet says it was the right time so we both feel better about it. We got her as a rescue dog 15 years ago! She was always happy and now we can start to think about giving a second chance to another. We still have 'the wild one' that I share with DD. He is here now. DH bought him a massive bone so he hasn't missed Tess yet.

Flying wise. DH and I have cleaned all the downstairs floors, cleaned some stains off the carpet and put all the dogs bedding in the washing machine. Now we are just going to have some quiet time.

Hugs poohbear and your family, my heart goes out to you as I'd be lost without my Sox and I've only had her 3 years.

Greenbee - dont have a clue but it does seem strange them changing their minds

Rosepink - well done but who are Jessica and !!!!!!

In my half hour :-

I emptied the washing up from the bowl into the dishwasher and washed up what cant go in there once I'd worked out why there was no hot water. Power had gone to the sockets which supply the boiler because I'd put all the cooker rings on full to [STRIKE]warm the kitchen [/STRIKE] burn off the hot fat that was splashed and the cooker had tripped the main fuse :rolleyes:. I wiped all the surfaces down, scrubbed the tiles and cleaned out the toaster.

Still [STRIKE]loads of the list [/STRIKE] pretty much all of the list to do though

That's kind of what I thought... the woman I'm dealing with doesn't seem too hot on customer service (more the kind of person who thinks I should have what she suggests, and be available for the work to be done at her convenience), but when I push back, she usually calls back with an alternative (so I think her boss probably tells her that he wants the work!). If she hadn't insisted on quoting me for things I didn't want, we wouldn't have had the delay anyway, as I'm getting exactly what I told them I wanted from the outset!.
