Sleep well Toots, I'm up late because I fell asleep this afternoon as well, it was that kind of day.........

If the person who wanted age 11-12 years boys stuff is still wanting them, send me a pm, I've spent this weekend sorting out clothes and my thirteen year old has just grown out of a lot of stuff.

Other than that I'm back in, it's half-term week here and I will need all the help I can get now that ds2 is on study leave for his GCSEs.................

Morning all, completely dosed now with the cold and sore head so need to get to the shop for more tablets. Only have horse ones left........yuck

Kids all back to school today and MrT coming between 11 and 1 so gives me good time to tidy up. The house isn't looking to bad this morning.

Plan today is very little, food, sleep and a movie.
Must remember to get firelighters at the shop, it's cold, wet and dull here.

Morning all! Well, I'm pleased to say that even though I fell asleep mid morning - joining in has meant the world of difference. I felt a little dizzy and unwell just before lunchtime but because I had been busy up until then it meant that things weren't too bad when I woke up!

I work at the end of the week so my main involvement in the group will be Mon-Wed most weeks although I will try to get stuff done and post my progress.
Waking up to a 'respectable' kitchen this morning was a joy!
Fingers crossed for today!

Check on the heating board, but no, generally overflow pipes don't have downpipes. I don't actually have an overflow from my hot water system although I guess it would back up into the header tank in the roof and over flow that way... I suggest that the first thing you do is switch off the heating/hot water so that you aren't heating yet more water to pour out there, and then check the valve as it may be stuck. And then get a professional in to fix it!

I've been feeling slightly peculiar since yesterday evening... I think it might be labyrinthitis as I'm feeling slightly unbalanced (physically, not mentally before any of you say anything ). I hoping it's because I'm tired, but I really don't have time for it! It does, however, mean I'm not risking driving into the office...
