    soappie aaaaaaaaaggggrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhh get in the car and come get warm here.... ok mybe not such a bright idea -

    Trust me, it's extremely tempting! Though given the met office weather warnings about snow up in your parts, even with a 4x4 I might be pushing my luck! xxx
    you need some antifreeze - would gordon help?

    Gordon is winking at me from his place on the kitchen worktop, just next to the saucepan stand. But, I sunk a couple of glasses of Champers at lunch, and followed that off with a couple of glasses of white wine so I ought to sober up a bit before I contemplate engaging with Gordon. Maybe, just before bed, I'll couple him with some lemon juice and hot water.... ;)

    Big warm hugs for you Soappie, what a nightmare.

    Just pottering about, LO is in the bath,

    Arrggghh! Thank you for the warm hugs but you mentioned Bath! I could so wallow in one right now :p

    Warm hugs, blankets and hot water bottles Soappie. We've had a burst pipe here but DH managed to isolate it so we've only lost water to one sink.

    Tag - those kittens are truly adorable. So pretty. I need a kitten, I need a kitten! I need THOSE kittens!:rotfl:xx

    Thanks Mudders - that's my real worry though - frozen pipes. The boiler lives in the "boiler room" which is a sort of outhouse outside. It has (or had!) this gizmo on it that meant it turned itself on whenever it got close to freezing and just whizzed a bit of hot water through the pipes and the rads to stop itself freezing. If it's not firing up, it can't do that!

    And I'm sorry I'm whittering on. It's displacement therapy I'm sure. DD left about two hours ago to drive to Bath for an evening wedding reception do. She's driving back tonight too. I'm being an awfully over anxious mother I know, but I'm fretting.... the roads out there aren't nice tonight.
