    Another one for the tutting circle, here, although you would probably do more than tut, if you saw this place.

    There appears to be a seeping leak under the newly fitted washing machine. I'll have to phone them tomorrow and hope that they can come out on Friday.

    Dinner was an assortment of stuff from freezer and cupboard - we'd planned to go to Ikea for a Christmas tree (and probably coffee and cake), but they're out of stock until tomorrow.

    Hi managed to read all your diary today, it's been a great read.

    Someone needs to come and tut at my house to, the one good thing about living in the sticks is that I usually get a phone call if someone is coming round, gives me long enough to dump all the mess in a bedroom and shut the door, give the bathroom a quick once over and run a hoover round, I have been known to hide dirty pans in the oven.

    I hope the cat feeling brighter and ouch to the vet bill.

    Glad you got the leak sorted and that you can repair the oak cupboards :)

    Hope the fluffster doesn't cost you anything further. Vets bills are extortionate.

    Nothing like a visitor to get you cleaning :) If Mr SA's sister is coming round I practically redecorate the whole house!

    :rotfl::rotfl: I only clean properly when people visit too. I should invite people around more often :D.

    :hello: pennywisepoundfoolish

    I'm glad its not just me. A webcam inspection wouldn't work either - I'd put more effort into creating a screen than I would the actual cleaning :o The kitchen is still clear, and am keeping the dehumidifier running until it dries out enough to see the extent of the damage.

    Water people say I have to get two quotes for the damage caused by the leaking water meter - which is fine but OH will fix it but can't claim for his lost time or the materials (as we bought a bulk lot of unplaned character american oak years ago and still have more than enough left). And we could have replacement flooring as the water has gone underneath, but on a like for like basis a nominal contribution towards five year old cheap vinyl isn't exactly going to be worth claiming for which is rather annoying given that I would have to buy and fit a new vinyl as we don't plan to put a permanent floor in until the rest of the work is completed.. Have I thought about claiming on my house insurance on a new for old basis? No, why should I for something that wasn't our fault? :(

    Forecast here is for snow overnight, and snow for the next few days. Must panic buy food :p

    No snow here until Sunday, but the next two days are forecast to be very cold. Not convenient, then, that my new thermal wellies are taking an age to arrive.

    Tiniest amount overnight for us. More forecast so I finally made a proper effort at buying bits for the boys stockings, etc. Also bought a tree. Might even put it up over the weekend, if I can manage to clear a space.

    Trailed round far too many shops and have done virtually nothing since beyond lighting the woodburner and putting my feet up. Fat Cat is innabox in front of the fire, roasting gently. I'd like to be a cat.



    Forgot to get:
    1. Fuel
    2. Gift voucher - need for 18th

    I'm coming back as a cat too. You don't even have to do cute. Bossy seems to work perfectly well for some...
