    Precisely! Plus, the implication of hotness would be a compliment, no?

    In any case, it is time we went away for a weekend together without the children.
    If you want a party in your house while you're gone.

    My parents aren't from the "going away for a weekend" generation, so they never did it. But then, they only went out once a year - to the Xmas Do of one or the other of them.... and they even stopped that once they were in their 50s/60s.

    Their last holiday (break, outing, whatever you call it and of any length) was probably in 1993.

    Its the new toy - the electricity monitor.

    It was more a curiosity.

    BTW I have one car, hubby has one car and the boys share a car between them. You also have one car, so we have the same number of cars.
    We do :)

    One benefit I always found with a microwave is it minimises the amount of time one spends in a freezing/unheated kitchen heating up beans.

    :)

    ... and you have aches/pains, you can use them to heat up wheatbags for that.

    But the cooker keeps me warm a bit.....

    I use hot wate r bottles or, in bed, electric blanket. Resisted that for years, but its been a lifesaver here.

    I bet some of you lot have had/used cooker hoods in the past. Do they actually work? Do they remove cooking smells? Or are they just an ugly and noisy annoyance?

    We are going to take a peek under our bedroom carpet this weekend.....see what the floors in here are like. Probably not going to be great but worth knowing.

    They work if they are properly vented. If they aren't, they aren't worth having.

    For those that are bored and have an iPad or iPhone, there is an app called "draw something". Very similar to pictionary, very addictive.

    It's free at the moment.

    It's a bit slow and I draw like a 3 year old, which helps :)

    I may have a game later after a few glasses of pinot grigio.
