    Morning All

    Twisted my left shoulder somehow as I got dressed, could hardly move for a few minutes anyway, painkillers kicked it so off and running now.

    WM on for the one and only dry day, hope to get another load done too.

    JUST A HEAD'S UP TESCO HAS HOME BAKING PRODUCTS ON 3 FOR 2 AND IT INCLUDES ALL FLOURS, BREAD MIXES, CAKE MIXES, ETC. I stocked up with bread flour.:D

    DS has just run to wish us Happy Anniversary, and ask if the post had arrived yet, this was the first year I not reminded him about it, as he said he had it covered now, and he has. The cryptic comment may be revealed when the post arrives, he uses Moonpig and usually picks something we have to smile at.

    Still re-building my netbook, kicking myself as I really knew how to do this without the re-build but never mind, keeps the grey cells working.

    Adelight We have one of these heaters in Spain, they are very efficient, and cheap to run, but whenever gas burns it does make moisture, so make sure you open windows once you switch it off to stop your room getting damp (though it sounds like there are so many draughts you wouldn't have a problem). You run it off bottled gas, and many places sell them not just Calor. If you ask around you can get lighter bottles now to help you carry them upstairs. You will also have to check your nearest stockist on the Calor Site, though other gas supplies are much cheaper, Flo Gas, etc.

    Molly if you/or friends can read this, hope you are doing OK in hospital.

    Found a garage door opener on HotUKDeals yesterday, with free delivery today, cheaper than having our old one repaired.

    Changed the bed and it is on the line, and the second load now in.

    Mrs MH - Thought I had seen that face somewhere before :D

    Take care DG

    Well thats mu DIY job for this week. One of the cupboards in the kitchen had a carousel in it which was neither use nor ornament.

    I have been wanting it out for a while, this morning with a lot of huffing,puffing and swearing it is out. I had to take both door off. Stull could not shift it, eventually realised that there was a pin hodling the top tray in place, knocked it out and I was able to remove it. The base of the cupboard was filthy, swept it and then washed it out with bleach and sugar soap, left it to dry and then put the stuff back. I am going to have a shelf put in when I san afford it, I will have double the space for stuff than I had on the carousel....brill.......I now have to fight to get the doors back on.....will tackle it when OH goes for his rest. We are going to the library when he gets up.

    Really nice day, I have a line of laundry out, the forecast is for wind again tonight.......I can finish it off on the airer if its not quite dry.
