Right, have finally crawled out of my pit - awful night with ds having night terrors and kept saying "I go home now" and " I want my mummy/daddy" when he was in our arms! - does this occasionally, dd used to do it too, then is fine again for months but resulted in about 2 hours sleep last night - good job school is closed again cos zombies aren't allowed to teach!
Have printed off lists for the week along with list of school stuff I need to do and am going to work steadily through both lists till Sunday night - no sign of a thaw today still minus 2 and even bright sunshine is having no effect on ice. At least we aren't spending any money (apart from racking up the heating bill I suppose)

Oh, and I meant to say the other day, Pigpen I'm really sorry to hear that your DS has also has trouble getting work in IT. The reason I mentioned the age thing is that Mr LW was told by numerous agencies to omit his date of birth from his CV, as they bin the ones from over-50s without even looking at them. No offence was intended.:(If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

My Dyson did the same and it turned out that i needed a new filter (not the one that can be washed but the motor one) , noticed as well that the belt was broke so ordered both of ebay and now it's working great.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0
