3 lbs off this week :j
Twas a great hen night too :j :rotfl:

Well done - that's an excellent loss Beanie :T :T :T :T

As Steve posted, I went to the docs yesterday as my cold had turn into a chest infection, and she gave me antibiotics and, as I was wheezy badly and chest very 'rattly', she put me on steroids too - both for a week. My reading on the breathing blower is normally around 350/380 and it was very low at 220, which is why she gave me the steroids, to boost it up

Have spent most of the week in bed, sleeping when I can, and have hardly opened my laptop never mind come on here, but catching up now

Now for the good news:

Van went straight though it's MOT on Wednesday :eek: :eek: which is great

Heating oil delivered yesterday morning :j :j

Mr 3Dogs' DRO paperwork has arrived and he now just has to clear up a couple of points, pay his £90 fee and a few days later, his DRO should be submitted and approved

Got all the extra paperwork in to council for HB/CTB reassessment yeaterday, so they shoul dbe able to sor this out soon

And the bad news:

'Cause we had run out of oil before the new delivery, the boiler/system needs to be bled and reset before we can use it. Rang council yesterday and they said they would put it through as 7 day priority. She then rang straight back and said, due to my chest problems and being on steroids, etc, maintenance had agreed to put it on 24 hour emergency, which was great. Around tea-time, a guy came to bring us an electric heater which was good, but, when engineer had still not been after 28 hours, I rang them again. She said they were having problems getting someone who dealt with oil boilers and had to contact the original subbies who intstalled it, so was now booked for Tuesday. The fan heater, plus a convector heater Mr 3Dogs thought he'd got rid of but found in outhouse when clearing it out for engineer to get to boiler, will do us till then as they do quite a good job. Not as good as central heating and much more expensive, but we'll manage

Rang council and they say it takes 3 -4 weeks to reassess HB/CTB claim :eek: in meanwhile we are incurring arrears on our rent, though this should be sorted once claim is sorted out and should all be covered as out total income is the same now as before Mr 3Dogs wewnt self employed, it just comes from different places
