    In fact my cup runneth over, since I have ex MIL and the current MIL in the house at the same time.

    I can only equate that to my mooncup overflowing :eek:

    :p:p something is conspiring to stop me making them... pastry in fridge was out of date, and past its best (slightly grey, wouldn't roll out).

    I hope you cooked it as a lump and put it out for the birds

    I am of fon the hunt now for some cheao things to put in...any ides

    My sainsbugs order arrived just 10 minutes late but they still gave me a £10 off next shop coupon - amazing considering the time of year, the weather and that it was a free delivery slot :T Driver was great, from Slovakia and told me he was used to driving on snow but it was better if you had winter tyres.

    Going to get the bed made and have a sarnie before a massive ironing sessio.

    Toots
    - I hope your trip out was ok and please can I claim my last star

    TAG What lovely kittens they are so cute. I like the one on the left.

    Soappie Hope you manage to keep warm. Those little halogen heaters give out a lot of heat and are reasonable to run. If you can get your hands on one. Have just given GS1 mine. Their flat is cold even with heating on and its to help keep the baby warm.

    Going on the wii for a while then do a HHI.

    What are the temperatures like beside you?

    Current (sheltered) outside temp is 35F. Inside, the themo in my bedroom is showing 53F so it's not too cold yet inside, but it'll get that way soon...
    Soappie - sorry to hear about your heating, good luck with getting it fixed - have you tried the online site - it might be called boilerman

    I don't know the online site to which you refer.....I did a quick google and got nowhere...

    Oh, and thanks Boddy on the tip re the Halogen heaters.
