Dusty - sorry your mother upset you.
Lil-me - My OH has already said that at the end of the 3 yrs we should think about buying it.. Still haven't filled in the forms for the loan yet.. just makes me feel a bit sick.

Morning all

Greenbee - can't help with the quote I'm afraid. Youll just have to do some serious negotiation. Good luck with the woodburner installation! You're going to need it, it's going to be v. cold tonight. It's v. cold this morning actually - coldest so far this winter.

Enjoy your day Rach - and well done for the driving through central London.

I shall fly this afternoon when I get in. I'm also determined to get those 5 stars this week..

I had a very unproductive week last week but feeling better in myself this week so should be able to do better. Besides, need the place looking shipshape for Christmas.

I can't believe I've learnt so much in the short time I've been on the OS board. I'm finding myself posting tips and advice on other threads!

Off to declutter the kids, sorry I've not kept up with you!

Hugs to all that want one and extra special for Toots and Lady L :A:A

I'm in again!

Kitchen looks half decent - i made the effort and put everything away - esp has OH had finally sorted out the hinges on 3 cupboard doors - it only took 2 years!

Defrosted the freezer and evicted the unrecognisables! Loads more space in there! Am considering making some mince pies and freezing them:cool: - never managed that in the last 22 years!

Must fill advent calendars today!
