    hope you're bearing up ok snookey, and get well soon Rummer!! (((hugs)))

    oh For Pete's Sake!!! (that is NOT what I'm actually saying!). Don't know what the boiler man has done but the flipping heating isn't coming on now and it's pretty chilly!!! Will give it 20 mins then phone them out!:mad:

    eta they're coming out but honestly I'm right peed off! I have a bottle and a half of red wine sitting in front of me and it's looking very tempting!!

    eta AGAIN....NOW it's come on!! Still going to let them come out though, shouldn't take half an hour to fire up!


    19.52 - boiler update - hot water not working. Isn't this a thrilling saga?! I need a life!!

    Speaking of xmas someone (maybe Cat501) mentioned us not being able to have a night out...I was thinking maybe we could have a xmas night in??!!
    I thought we could name a date and time, get your glass of wine/fizzy water and nibbles and have a night in posting....or that idea just to far fetched?

    I love that idea! Count me in :T

    Hi All,

    Snooky so sorry to hear about your dog. I've done almost zero in the house this weekend....but I've had a lovely time spending it with family and friends. Went to the shops to do a bit of xmas shopping, we met up with MIL and FIL. They bought us lunch and then bought me a lovely jacket for my xmas :-)

    well Helen, still waiting for the temporary heaters, I have no other form of heating in the house, no fires or anything, so hopefully it won't be long till they replace the circuit board and everything will be good! We were fine last night but it's meant to get really chilly by the end of the week:eek: Kids will all have a temp heater as dad is bringing me a third, I shall heroically struggle on :rotfl:

    candygirl I would say yes lol!:D But my parents don't have it either so they are weird too:D
