Ishtar - go to bed, while you are 'coping' no one is going to intervene (she says bitterly)
Pigpen - hope it starts working again fast
mumto5 - ouch, fast healing vibes for you
Lil-me - much sympathy on the missing parcels

Martial arts cancelled due to burst pipe so dont need to do that job, and I have sorted the washing and put a few books away. Still need to iron DH work shirts for the rest of the week. *yawns*

Last of my present parcels arrived today (feel guilty posting that when others are suffering) so I just need to get everything wrapped. Have made a start on this, need to make myself do so many every night. DH is out tomorrow night so probably drag the bulk of it down to do then.

Mumto5 - Keep taking the tablets......

Pigpen - Oh no!!!

Have done some flying interspersed with coughing and rest. Off to tackle the hob then look at my lists. I am only doing what is ABSOLUTELY necessary.
I am aiming to go to work in the morning then BIL and SIL will be here late afternoon. Really CBA with them. OMG I have turned into a right grumpy old woman.....
Mind you these are the pair who didnt have me on any of their official wedding photos despite the fact that DH was best man. Bah.......

• Iron yesterdays wash mountain Tonight whilst watching Holby

• WRAP WRAP WRAP! just a few little bits left to do, going to make a start now.

Pigpen......again? Isn't it a new system?

Decided as heating was on I would jump in the shower ( sorry piggers) so haven't made a start downstairs yet as just got distracted by an offer of extra pennies for our swimming group so was on the phone sorting that out.

Think I best make a start as nobody else has moved today,........

pigpen

We have a major leak on the thermosatic valve in the hallway.. so we now have no heating and no hot water.. again! The boiler was only repaired last Wednesday after 4 days without heating or hot water... I am thankful it is NOT New Year.. it usually is!

sexymouse

Another load in the WM and one in the TD. Loo all sparkly, and all shower gels etc put back on the bath now it is dry.
