    Sally~Why might B have to re-enrol in her swimming?
    When my B did his(last century!!)is was just an ongoing thing & as long as you paid the monthly fees that was it.

    end of every 12 week (I think its 12) course you have to sign up for the next 12 and pay upfront. Normally though they send a letter, guess I could check the bank and see when I paid last!

    A friend has just rang with the same problem as you Lou. I told her about the hairdryer/kettle trick. She is currently driving around Leicester trying to find the right size lagging.

    Just had to rescue a pizza delivery man from the street made the silly mistake of trying to turn the car around in the deepest snow:rolleyes:

    House feels red hot now after being outside.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    To be honest Bookie there is no point in her lagging it until she is confident that it is totally ice free otherwise she will just be insulating the ice in.
