    I've bled the radiators, topped the system up, bled the radiators again. And moved the robot hoover downstairs to remove the dog hair from the sitting room. And then maybe from other bits of the house.

    As long as it doesn't rain - i didn't set foot out the door today, and therefore forgot that i'd left the washing out. So it will have had 2 nights out now 😂 assuming I remember to bring it in tomorrow, that is! 

    Well done on sorting your mileage claim 😊😊

    Well done for dealing with your employee in a professional manner. I'm sorry they ended up upset, sounds rough for everyone, but hopefully they will remember. You are preventing them from doing something more serious down the line and hopefully they will come to see that at some point. 

    Hope today is easier!
