    A nice clean carpet with no-one complaining sounds excellent. Make sure to reward yourself with some 'me time' after though!

    Oh goodness, what a nightmare about the house and the car!

    I think it was PennysIntoPounds that asked about neighbours doorbells. Unfortunately the house is quite isolated from its neighbours having once been part of a much larger plot which my ds and bil either sold off or was compulsory purchased over the years. It is quite possible to get ito the house without anyone noticing.

    dawnybabes   His insurance company have their own recovery scheme. I just hope it works. He will no doubt have a look at the car this morning and start sorting something out.

    Oh no 😟 You couldn’t make it up! I hope Mr LH gets the car fixed today. This isn’t what you need right now.
