    No haggis Mardatha? With eggs by the sounds of it ;) Hope your mouth kmproves soon (before RV runs out of recipes).

    Good luck Nurse Maggie, everything's crossed for you.

    Here at Chez Softie, we're lurching from one problem to another. Hubby got a kidney infection and went from "healthy" to "OMGWTFBBQ" in less than a day, which is how his body tends to be. His fever seems to have broken in the night though, so fingers crossed the antibiotics are working. Meanwhile the cold tap in the shower has died, which in the middle of summer here is not a small problem. It doesn't rain.... er... or pour:p

    Onwards and upwards :D

    Hubby is on the mend, albeit slowly and stressfully. As for the shower, I phoned a friend and got an education on plumbing as well as a fixed tap for the price of a six pack. Onwards and upwards.

    Good news on both counts then Softstuff :j

    Ooh, today's the day nursemaggie! Hope the flat is okay for you, will be thinking of you and DS.

    Hope you're feeling better mardatha x

    Going to look for a big cushion for DD1's Christmas today. She's asked for one "with a cosy cover" but not faux fur, so I'm not sure if I'll find anything suitable. Fingers x'd there's a fleecy one at a rock-bottom price somewhere!

  • No Viewing today it was cancelled at the last minute. There are men doing repairs but they must have know that last week. We only have 5 weeks left to find somewhere or we go back to the back of the queue. We are not allowed to bid for any others while we are being considered for this. It does not seem fair as it is 7 weeks ago tomorrow since I bid on this one.

    Worth trying Mardatha's suggestion Maggie - you've got nothing to lose x
