    I am going out for an Indian Meal:D Courtesy of MIL little gift at New Year. I shall have tandoori king prawns with salad to cut down on the cals and maybe a poppadum.

    I got on the roof with the kettle and defrosted the condense pipe myself although it was definitely an experience trying to get back in the bedroom window:eek:

    Good job I wasnt wearing a skirt thats all I can say:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    If you hadnt put the word "kids" at the beginning that would have sounded like a very dodgy party indeed SRM:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well to get out of the window I stepped on DS1's bed and thought this is a piece of pizz..........till I tried to get back in and realised there was no bed on the roof for me to step on to get back in:rotfl:

    I ended up with my legs in the air with DS'1 pulling me through the window backwards and letting me fall onto the bed.........he was laughing so much he kept saying he was "going weak" and might drop me:eek:
