    Evening all, I am in again this week please. Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie. We are into our 3rd week without hot water and after British Gas' 7k quote for a new system I think we will be without it for a bit longer!

    Hope everyone is well xxxx


    Have you tried this http://www.warmfront.co.uk/ even if you dn't get benefits they have subsidised central heating...we don't get any benefits and I was quoted £4000 for full central heating if we needed it.

    Morning lovely flyladies,

    I am in again in my own small way. Many thanks to the triumvirate of power as ever Toots, Soappie and Pigpen.


    hgballoons.gifAjmoney - Have a great day hon present.gif
    Toots - No he didn't apologise, in fact he became really angry that I expressed my upset.
    Rosepink -hugs.gif
    LadyL - love.gifLove and hugs
    Jinkypinks - Yes, a cat biscuit! She is so spoilt that when she comes to bed with us I give her a few cat treats and she obviously she missed one! giggle.gif
    Hells - hope you feel better today.
    Boddy - love and healing vibes being sent for your friend
    embb - Well done for paying off that catalogue.
    Mrs B - I think there is either a thread or I have read it on this one but that whole 'what can you do while the kettle boiled' subject has definitely been broached before and it's great to have a reminder of it. I know someone said that while they cooked their porridge in the microwave they washed surfaces and cupboard doors down and did a general kitchen tidy for instance..
    Triker - QVC do lock n lock at good prices or supermarkets have their own versions that work just as well. We have some from QVC and some from Morrisons.

    Having potted up lots of compost today and brought it into the lounge to warm up overnight I will be planting my veggie seeds today. Bit later than planned but at least managing to get them done while it's still february!
    head%20cold.gifHope all the poorly flyladies feel better today.

    Off to find my list.
