    Currently on a waiting list for an industrial dehumidifier.  Has anybody ever watched Carry on up the Khyber (not very pc)  there's a scene at the end where the English are sitting having a dinner party while the war is raging outside, bits of rubble and debris end up in their soup.  That's currently my kitchen.  Ah well could be worse.

    In other news Dd1s BF has got a provisional moving date of 17th December.  Fingers crossed

    Managed to nab 2 industrial dehumidifiers which are whirring away.  They've come back to the roof and I think, touch wood we're water tight.  Had my 3rd jab the other night and they managed to fit OH in as well.  Been very busy at work (due to storm) and have hopefully got most people sorted with generators that needed them.  OH went to a delivery depot last night to get them otherwise they wouldn't have been here till Monday.  Delivered a couple today.

    Hoping to go to the outdoor market tomorrow, will see what the weathers like in the morning.
