    Evening all

    Have just managed to catch up with the thread. Hugs all round to those who need them, sounds like a lot is going on. Didn't manage too much off the list today but did blitz mine and DH room. Been itching to do it as it's turned in to a [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] store room:o. Did advise DH as he left for work this morning that if it wasn't bolted down it was fair game for me to sort:cool:. He told me tonight he realises I wasn't joking:D! Tis so much better now and DSD1 and 2's room is next tomorrow.


    Extra
    1) My family, not just LO,DH,DSD1 and DSD2 but my mum and my DB and his family.
    2) Being proud that I quit smoking 8 weeks ago today:D after smoking for 16 yrs:o

    Some of you may remember that cold weekend we had just before Christmas when my central heating packed up because the fan needed something squirting on it and I spent 2 or 3 days dressed up like the man from the arctic - including a Typhoo beanie hat.

    Well.

    Guess what's just happened?

    Yep. The central heating has packed up again - same symptoms.

    At least it won't be as cold as it was the week before Christmas (Pollyana hat on see!) but it ain't going to be warm.

    Off to phone BG
