Morning all –

Sorry to hear of the various telephone/internet problems. Our internet connection has been running a bit slow, but I’m still trying to work out if it’s our computer, the site(s), or the line! BT always tries to initially pass the buck, don’t they? If CT is still job hunting, it must have clipped your wings.

I wonder how many other elderly people have had their ‘Life line’ cut off and don’t have relatives to chase BT? Doesn’t the break in service trigger a response at the Lifeline call centre? I know it did when my dad’s power went off.

It’s quite chilly today – I’m not entirely sure if the heating went on this morning. We had the boiler serviced at the beginning of the week. He may have turned it off and we hadn’t noticed. :-0

Evening everyone.

All the phone and internet problems!! I hope it's not contagious :-( :-(

I hope you enjoy N's visit, Maz, even though it might be hard work. Will you be able to get out for a couple of meals to relieve some of the pressure on you, or perhaps Naomi will cook for you!!

Hopefully we are nearing the end. The painters have been in again today so that is now done. Just some trunking to fit and a couple of snags that I want them to address. Not quite sure about the sign off as I haven't heard anything yet about the damp in the kitchen, the leaks and the bathroom cupboard doors :-( :-( I am getting a bit fed up of boxes everywhere, but hope to get straight when I am on leave the week after next.

Evening LG. You are on the runaround again!!

I don't even know what to have for my tea. An ex colleague was supposed to be dropping in for an hour but she had to cancel, so I am just pondering on tonight's menu!! Probably a bacon butty :-D :-D

I only had a sandwich as I had a cooked meal at lunchtime. A bacon butty sounds good but I have now eaten already :-| :-| :-| :-| :-D.

Morning to you Maz, well done with the weight loss N. :-D :-D :-D. Dry and bright here so inspired to get on with some of the dreaded.

Morning to whoever pops their head round the door during the day, hoping you have a good one. Catch you later <3

Well done N - that's a fantastic achievment :-D
May be Maz will have a little while to chat, if not at home, then in Hastings.

YG - was the melomine cupboard door supposed to have been painted??????

Been out visiting the in-laws for the day. Terrible journey home in the pouring rain. Can we overhaul the Ark please?

Evening everyone.

Congratulations to N. Didn't she do well :-) :-)

Pleased you had an undisturbed night, Maz :-)

DET, the cupboard doors definitely weren't supposed to be painted and are now under an official complaint. Waiting for the outcome :-( :-( Still not finished, so going to be running into next week. I haven't heard anything yet about the damp patch, so goodness knows how much longer it is going to take to sign it off. :-( :-(

Evening one and all. We have had loads of rain today and it must be time to relaunch Arsenal ark royal. Though I don't think we should ask YG's workmen to do it :-| :-| :-| :-D

Evening LG.

It is definitely not a good idea to let my workmen build the ark. It would sink before it set sail :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Evening YG. Well that is my thoughts exactly as regards the Ark :-D.

We could make four sets of oars to help us on our way :-D :-D

You need a captain's hat, so you'd better ditch the pointed one and the tin helmet :-D :-D

There is something that we need in case of sea sickness. I wonder what that could be :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
