    Just looked at the site, seems to be only in the south where they do that. I am a bit wary of having random strangers in the house though. I think my best bet is probably going to be for the ex to come for a few days and he can take the kids out for the day while i crack on, at least then he could do the hard bits and advise me? I really want the hearth out but my 'mother' said i should do as little as possible if i am wanting to move!! She has a point but i am trying to get it sell-able in case i can get a swappee to view??

    She has a point, no point wasting the time/energy/money if you're not going to benefit. I imagine its not a make or break issue the hearth....

    Would you not stay in the house whilst someone does the work?
    I must have missed a part of the story, i didnt think you and your ex were on speaking terms.... im so confused (not hard though to confuse me :rotfl:)

    I can spare you a day if you like, end of the week, my parents can watch L and the dog, gets me a day off from them, and it'd help you out.... all i ask for in return is a cup of tea and a cake or two :rotfl:

    Sami, I suggest painting after the kids are in bed and then it should be mostly dry when they wake up?
    ah you assume I have a child with a normal sleep pattern :rotfl:

    Fab win kindof! I used to enter comps a lot, I won a name a star type fuzzy lion which Keira is now utterly obsessed with!

    Things at home are more laid back though he still hasn't left! He said he's waiting to see if I get this job *roll eyes*

    Thing is i worked out on entitledto etc, i'd be better off if he left, weather I was working 16hrs or 30hrs. my mum said she'd help out watching Keira as i really would like her to stay at the nursery she is at, rather than private, not because of money as tax credits would pay most but more because things will be changing so much in her life that that's one thing I'd like to stay "the same" Does that make sense?

    making a red thai curry for dinner tonight, yum yum!
