    Work is going to be a killer for 3-4 weeks. 12 hour days are here!

    If I'm not about, that's the reason (exhaustion).
    Everything jelly halts in september, pretty much up to my birthday (40 this year!).

    If I'm not about, that's why. However I promise to update you all on the success of the vibes sending :)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    My pet hate is a basin without a flat top, so stuff you stand on it rolls off onto the floor. Electric toothbrushes are the worst as they just don't fit any standard toothbrush holder.

    My house has no electrical gadget fitments in the bathroom .... so that's not a problem :)

    Electric toothbrushes are used after they have been charged up, but they aren't plugged in when you use them. My dentist said I should have one, but like you I have a bathroom with no fitments. It's not a problem. Every once in a while I bring the toothbrush out of the bathroom and charge it up in my bedroom overnight, and put it back in the bathroom the following morning.

    Does it matter that I missed this?

    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.

    That huge marble bath - you have to fill it twice. The first time you fill it just to try to heat the marble up a bit. Then drain that water and run a bath for yourself.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I bought something like this as a soap dish.

    We have a white inset basin, and the soap dish just sits next to it.

    No Lydia, doesn't matter you missed it. I didn't include any specifics (the only bits that could have made it interesting) and it was just work stuff. Wasn't related to sinks though, not sure why I quoted that post!

    Thanks.

    Just about to go off to the station with my sil for what I hope will be the last day of the inquest. The last few of the witnesses are today, so it's just a question of whether the coroner can finish his stuff by the end of the day. So it seems my barrister was spot on when he said the coroner had booked the court for 3 weeks just in case but was going to get everything done in a week and a half. He is (obviously) very efficient, but also very nice - welcoming, encouraging and understanding. :)

    It's DD's birthday on Monday. She'll be so pleased that I don't have to be away for it. :D
