    No chance.. pick up girls at 12:30, pick up DD3 at 3 then do dinner etc. in between times I need to nip to the bank, hang up 2 loads of wet washing inside as it is piddling with rain. I am kind of getting used to no sleep now :(

    Question.. Does anyone have one of these heated airers like they have in Lakeland??? If so are they any good?? I need to get loads dried over winter and do not want to put jeans and towels in the dryer.

    Off to sort stuff to be stashed in the loft!

    Yes I have two and they heat the utility too. They work very well with a dehumidifier too :T
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Got a couple of loads of washing done but it's all still wet. It won't stop raining! Storms here today. I might have to join in with the Lakeland dryer buying. I looked at them last year and nearly got one. I'm guessing they'll heat the room they're in a little bit too? Might be worth it in the long run.

    It's a gorgeous looking place Hex.:)

    Hi MrsB, great site isn't it?
    I keep missing replies and I'm terrible at names. :/ Hopefully it'll get easier to keep up.

    Hugs to those who need them. Cake to everyone. xxx
