    You must have what everyone here has. I have lungs that sound like a bagpipe orchestra caught in an air raid.

    Now pondering what to do with it.
    Was going to OP with it but I am now thinking I might put it towards replacing one of my kitchen windows( I have two). Very much needing done as frame is rotten.
    Will continue to ponder.

    Do the windows. Always do the work on your home that helps keep the water out. Water is very damaging, and never cures itself.

    Oh beanie, you do sound unwell :( :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: If you've got what I had, it takes weeks ... I got it mid Dec, and its only in the last week that I've had proper levels of energy, though I was convalescent before.

    Thats absolutely true - its taken me years to understand that maintenance is real and necessary, rather than something my dad liked to faff about with :o If the wood's rotten, its only going to get worse, and the heat you *do* have in your house, won't stay *in* your house :grouphug:
