    Morning All :wave:

    Hope you are all well & note affected too much by the weather, we are not too bad up here, think we have been lucky. DH took DS to football last night so I had an hour to fly!

    Blinking boiler is driving us nuts, we had homecare out the other day as there was a bad leak (our boiler is inside a kitchen cupboard which entails 2 cupboards having to be dismantled) he fixed the leak the other day & DH also told him pressure was going up by itself. He never fixed this so poor DH who should be in bed sleeping as he is nightshift has to dismantle the cupboards again as there is water coming out the pipe outside & he has had to drain water from the system 3 times in the last 24 hours to try keep pressure down!

    Ok so here is todays up to date listy, will get another lot done tonight as DS has anchor boys, he was delighted when he came home last night & his room was all done.

    Wow Piggers you're not kidding...
    and time's flying out the door for you at 10! *giggles*

    lots to do...

    washing on line and windows open, so that's a good start!

    Macpep - there is most likely a problem with the water inlet to the boiler - if you believe it's shut off there's a chance the valve isn't actually fully closing, and water is 'creeping' in.

    Crikey pigpen, what a shock! And you will have just had your littlest then too.

    It was a year ago yesterday the neurosurgeon told us not to worry about brain tumours, and we thought we were in the clear. :(

    DS leaked in my bed last night, so lots of laundry on the go. Luckily I had mattress cover, then quilted throw then mattress cover then sheet, so the mattress was well protected. Throw is washed and out on whirlygig in the sunshine, and bedding in wm now. Have airers set up in garage room which is nice and warm thanks to windows being in full sun.

    Tots have played out (wellies hats and gloves today!) and come back in again. Apparently it's too cold... They were well wrapped up, layers and winter coats. Oh well. I did give them the little brooms whilst they were out, so they have swept the path :A
