    Hope she's okay, Alchemilla - you too! I so need to bleed my radiators .... Cheery did it recently, I think her useage went down by two thirds immediately!

    I wish somebody would bleed the radiators at school. I suspect they might not be very happy if I did it myself, though. :(
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    She is quite poorly or I would have left her with granny. She has just had her cataracts done though, yesterday, si I can't do that with someone who is running a temp.

    Last time DD had a temp she had a hypo and I ended up having the paramedics out.

    Radiators done. Crazily easy even for a diy dimwit like myself.

    Sofa covers in wash next up tidy scullery. And marking.

    Hope dd improves soon. And look at all the chores you are getting done whilst nursing her.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thanks Watty.

    She rallied about one.

    3 loads of washing and managed to match the dining room paint.

    Also did some scrubbing of skirtings with bleach water and a toothbrush. What a party animal.

    £18 booster seats.

    Another pound on a replacement cupboard knob.
  • It is good when they make a speedy recovery like that. Hope she feels well enough to enjoy her weekend. And that you don't return to too much chaos on Monday.

    All the best and well done on the skirting cleaning,

    Squirrel
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thanks Squirrel.

    I feel so guilty and like I don't deserve the weekend.

    She is bad again now but I hope its just because shes tired.

    Soooooooo tempting.......... must not crack missing knob jokes, must not crack missing knob jokes :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
