    How is your lovely new one Sashy? Sorry I haven't been around much. I know! It's been a flipping nightmare. If we'd known it would take so long to fix then we'd have found a good local launderette. But we thought just a couple of days let's bath wash and line dry. As it is we are around day 15 of managing without. But I feel so bad even complaining when there are people with no homes at the moment :(

    He's lovely most of the time Bob but we're struggling with colic at the moment so not getting a lot of sleep. Trying different things to see what helps - we've propped the Moses basket up at a slight angle as he hates lying flat & are trying baby massage which seems to help a bit. He's getting colic drops as well but poor wee soul still sore.

    Re the washing machine, you don't realise how much you rely on appliances until they break.:eek: Our dishwasher went on the blink recently & we were panicking. :rotfl: We never had one until we moved into this house 3 years ago but are so used to it now.:o

    Hi Bob, just checking in to offer my continued support and hoping you're managing to take some time out from the stresses of issues with your friend, the washing machine and the business.

    Such a roller coaster, I hope some regular bookings are just around the corner.

    Thanks Huggle PF & Hidden

    In all honesty I'm not really alright. The last month has been hideous, and I feel in so much pain. I really don't feel like writing about me at the moment at all. So forgive the absence. I'm trying to keep up with diaries but am also very time poor generally.

    It's very nice to know that you are concerned enough to comment. Thank you.
