Taurus - we had a similar problem a few weeks ago. DH removed the taps with difficulty but we couldn't buy the part we needed so he put them back on and they stopped leaking???!?! Most odd!

I feel for you Mudbath !! Odd thing was, DH turned water off at hot and cold. Removed top of tap to check washers and what inside looked like, took a couple of photos, then put it all back together. He turned on cold water - no drip. Turned on hot water - no drip straight away, but then drip returned same as before so assumed the drip was coming from hot tap.

BUT when I turned the hot tap on later, the hot water was coming out at it's usual snails pace (we have lousy water pressure here) but with a cold drip, dripping behind the hot water IYSWIM .

Oh well, suppose if DH HAS to do the job (and I am NOT looking forward to this, am fed up of irritations and hassle this month) I suppose I will at least learn a few new "words" :rotfl:

Sorry misunderstood you, he can pm anytime, you should get more response on the diy board later on, that's my regular board I wandered on here to ask a question and haven't left yet

Once you enter this thread you are not allowed to leave especially if you have useful skills to share with us. I'm still trying to work out what my skills are??? Don't even answer that pigpen!!:rotfl:

Please stay!!! this, in my opnion, is the BEST board on here, and flylady is one of the best threads Always someone to "talk" to, never judgemental, and Pigpen always lets you come back and try again even if you've been AWOL for a while . Long live the OS board :beer::j:beer::j:beer:

Ugh Ugh UGHHHHHHHHHHHH...cat has just bought me a huge, live spider - she bought DH a half dead baby bird this morning too.....Arghhhhhhhhhhh,can't do anymore work now today:rolleyes:

Afternoon everyone.

Feeling rather lethargic again today. DS2 being a bit more demanding, and DS1 being very moody and demanding attention all the time. Starting to dread DH's return to work, as although it will only be hell for a short while, it will be hell. :rolleyes:

I had a bit of a rough night so i got a sleep in this morning till DS1 came and attacked me. I hurt my neck cos i fell asleep while winding DS2 and laid with it funny. It felt like i had been awake hours last night.

We are just chilling a bit while ds1 naps and then going to visit my parents this afternoon to get out the house for a bit. then we are going to cook a roast this evening.

it's a bit cold and miserable, so i can't really get inspired today.




jobs to do this week by me or DH:

• ironing pile to sort and clear
• change water in 2x lots of flowers
• make up spare bed for MIL staying next week
• move some of ds's toys upstairs
• talk to J about food options for her 40th wedding anniversary boat cruise
• hoover hall/porch/stairs/landing/bedrooms x3/bathroom
• put up height chart in DS's room
• [STRIKE]assemble baby bouncy chair[/STRIKE]
• us visit my parents
• brush both cats and check again for fleas, put on a frontline treatment
• swap bedside light in our room for ds1's, as it has a dimmer switch for less brightness while night feeding

Extras:

• washed a load of bibs
• stripped ds1's wet bed and washed that
• quick tidy up of nappies etc from through the night

Michelle, x
