    Hi

    Just lost my post, so here's an even shorter version. My laptop isn't working properly, so I'm borrowing a friend's for half an hour. Won't be around until I get a replacement from work, and then I may not be able to use it for personal stuff. May have to wait until I can afford to get internet access on my PC.

    Hugs, spoons, sticks etc as needed/wanted. If anyone needs to get in touch, natty has my e-mail address from the cc swap and I'll be checking my mail at work.

    ...slow progress being made on the cooker installation :(. The floor under the cooker had not had laminate laid. So, OH bought another pack - and they've either changed their stock, or upgraded, as it is not the same thickness. So, time wasted returning the laminate to B&Q, and getting some ply instead, and installing that. He's doing the electrical connection now. Fingers crossed.

    It hasn't been very inspiring weather here again, dull, very windy, some rain. Happily, not cold. Flying hampered by the ongong DIY, as tools and materials everywhere. I've managed a couple of loads of washing, and have also done some more decluttering of the main bedroom - two large bags of DS2's clothes to Oxfam.

    I also went to TKMaxx, and bought three new saucepans.:D Nice ones for once - small and medium casserole, and one larger saucepan. Now I know how many there are in the range.....;)

    Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty, and lamewolf.
