  • Mrs PG! Long time, no speak - which was entirely of my own making of ocurse. Thanks for stopping by during the three-week wilderness to cheer me on.

    You sound like you have been remarkably busy as always. Always an entertaining read :-)

    On the car front, I'm willing to bet you a steaming hot pasty that the radiator fan is not switching on. It has happened to me loads. If you're lucky, a new fuse will fix it, or maybe a bit of soldering/re-connecting. Shouldn't be a big job. Keep us posted!

    What a busy lady Mrs P.

    Will you ever rest? You seem to busy so busy all the time.

    Trust your house is still in a fairly decent order, although with visiting youngsters it might take some time cleaning it again.

    At least you've got 7 years before DD reaches 18.

    No !!! I have been buried under a mountain of black sacks, clothes that no longer fit, varying cardboard boxes kept for no good reason ! For my sins I jumped out of bed this morning and decided to tackle the abyss that is DD1s bedroom, at one point I feared I may never get out of there alive !! Its all now residing on the landing waiting to be dragged downstairs and out to the dustbins, the only trouble is I have blocked the top of the stairs, so we are now trapped !!!

    Hmm ..........a call to the fire brigade at this point might be fun !! :rotfl:

    I will be back and posting later tonight, when I eventaully escape from the landing, I need to deliver a birthday pressie, then with the girls sleeping soundly and Mr Pinot away, I will pour a glass of the white stuff and while away many hours updating the diary and reading what you ahve all been up to !!!

    I will return !!! :j
