    Not bathroom :( they need 3 weeks when they start that .

    When they came looking around house said new extractor fan in kitchen its not worked since had new kitchen.

    Was also going on about damp painting whatever that means got black marks on some walls . So don't think they will be in house long.

    There's anti damp paint, we used it on bathroom ceiling last time we decorated, not had any damp on it since :D

    That said, the one we used was an undercoat - they may need to do a top coat too?

    :(I did have problems with some of the SELs for the wines in my Ms on Wednesday. My first store had lost the mbuy for Chardonnay Semillion just like that comp. has done - other Ms were showing it but it caused me to check and this wine was actually still on the mbuy in M. The problems were enough though that I had already removed the "Possible mix and match" note from my list as I wouldn't have suggested trying one - with the SELs and the OOS of some of the wines - that Shiraz Cabernet that is still working was more absent for me - the comps. became risky.

    The Martini Asti was fine, the Freixenet had incorrect full price £12 in some stores, usually ones for me with stock, but my "OOS" stores had £9. I can't rely on SELs in OOS stores anymore as they have turned out to be wrong as well now. Neither, when stores have stock, are SELs necessarily correct - I found the £12 indication was wrong when checked at the SS. I can't trust what I'm told at the till, unless they tell me the offer price and, where I am unable to scan items, I just don't know at all now. I ended up with £9.50 on the Villa Maria, going even worse than its increase back to £7 on Monday, but, after finding £9.50 in my stores, I couldn't then scan the item to get its actual price at my final store as that was showing £9.50 as well but was OOS. However, the APG is now getting £6 again:cool:.

    Hope all is ok, its usually a precaution - several of mine were sent ...the smaller ones are more prone. At worst they will put him under the lamp and he will be cooked in 24 hours and ready for home xxx

    I am sure people on internet don't believe how bad weather is in Oldham. It goes from one extreme to other.

    Today its been awful got mums in swirling snow and high winds luckily our Poppy walked she had her jumper and coat on keeping her warm :j

    I then walked to Tesco from mums saving the £2-50 bus fare she gave me :money:

    Had to keep stopping and holding onto fencing lamps etc or I would have been blown into main road :eek:

    Taxi back to mums with shopping then around home time it stopped snowing so quickly got our Poppy wrapped up and hurried home wind helped :cool:

    Just got home before snow arrived again its been snowing on and off since.

    Good news is we got paid for the 2 snow days in February :j:j

    Has she got snow boots as well :D

    Neither is unusual, most babies lose weight in the first few days, and a lot are jaundiced. He will be fine, but we are all keeping our fingers crossed xx

    Finally managed to unlock my phone - TalkMobile sorted it and I got sent the code through Vodafone.

    The annoying thing is went to put wuntu on it, 3 said they were sending settings to my phone and to accept them, but didn't see the settings arrive, will wait a few days til I can settle down without OH standing over me wanting to know what i am playing at lol
