    Nothing exciting in my test results, six weeks of ibuprofen, try to keep warm and see if I feel any better :roll eyes: The annoying generalisation of 'stress' was brought up so I am sulking.

    I have cracked and fetched the boys from school, ridiculous that it is still open.

    Chestnuts roasting here :D, and then I am going to have a hoover through once the damp welly patches have dried out.

    If my pipes were frozen would it mean the water in the sink wouldn't drain away? My kitchen sinks are terrible for getting blocked but they were cleaned only recently and usually a quick plunge and it's fine, but I just went to empty this mornings washing up water and it wont go :/

    I doubt it unless your waste pipe is very narrow. It is the water present in supply pipes which expands and causes problems. Drainage pipes should be free flowing so empty - I guess if you have an s bend it could have frozen in there if your house is very cold. However, as you usually have drainage problems who knows what is going on in your pipes - sorry if that is not helpful.

    Plea from our feathered friends

    If you can put a large bowl of luke warm water out they would be most grateful. They are strugging to find drinking and bathing water with the prolonged freeze. I just had a large gathering in the garden taking it in turns to splash by species - very funny.

    Spent much more than planned at Mr M but some was for chirstmas, need to put the kettle on and put it all away now.

    Hugs my friend I know you are so fed up now. Do you know what they tested for? Do you want tests for something else? If yes then ask.

    FiL wants a chestnut roaster for christmas - any tips on which are good, what to avoid?
