    Katsu that looks awful, as long as your alright thats all that matters. Its happening to a lot of people with this sort of weather. There seems no end in sight for it, we have solar pannels on our roof and a dail inside the house tells you what the tempreture is outside and when we got up at7.30 this morning it was reading -2 and right now its reading -2.5

    Lou, yup, they can't decide we are definitely redundant until they have consulted for the legally required no of days but as it goes on I can see that there isn't any more work coming up now, and any that does come up in the next few weeks (by some miracle) will be for a small no of people at most I think. Either way the other company sites are too far to commute (by my standards) and I just can't see anything else I have the skills to apply for :(

    Doomcow. I know that vinegar in the conditioner drawer kills smells in the washing (even when you forget to unload it for a few days it remains smell free :o) but if you don't want to have to wash it then I think you are down to getting some lavender bags or some other scented drawer products. If you have essential oils (maybe perfume would work?) then you can put them on cotton wool then put the cotton wool in a little drawstring bag/fabric scrap and that will scent the drawers.

    That's fab Beanie!

    Katsu, loads of hugs, it never rains but it pours.

    I'm starting to feel a bit achey and headachey now, but that could be due to a long day with a drum lesson at the end and too much coffee! A catch up with the boards and then curl up with a book I think.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
