Find Ancestors

I think I've been lucky Dea, we took a kitchen sink out to plaster behind and found dry rot lifted the floorboards and found a rotten joist. Replaced that and treated all wood and put it back together. Could have been a lot worse if it hadn't been found.

Offer of your sons help appreciated but I'm sure he won't want the sewage work. both my builder and my plumber are retired who because I've had trouble finding reputable builders/plumbers decided to do the work themselves. We only asked that the builder to project manage it but he decided to do the work to keep his hand in

It sounds horrendous Toots !!

My son is a plumber -- I will send hime over to you !!!

Hope you get it sorted soon !!!

Many thanks for your offer of help by pm !! - much appreciated but I think I can sort it !!

Just needs a good nights sleep and a new light on it all in the morning !!!

Dea Xxx <3 <3 <3

If you ever need to talk you can always pm me. <3

Builders will be in another week or two hate being upside down but the builders say I can have another room back tomorrow so will be able to start getting sorted Tuesday after work. Ready for him to do another room. Plumber has got two loos a shower and a kitchen sink working so only has to sort out the outside sewage pipes( I don't envy him) there is also the roof and another room then we will be sorted cos we are going around with blinkers on.

I won't tell you why I am feeling sad Toots as it will proably make everyone else feel sad too !!

However, I WILL take a portion of that home made apple pie and custard, even though I am still very full - I am sure that will make me feel much better !!

Many thanks,

Dea Xxx <3

Sorry to hear you're feelin sad Dea, so here is a homemade apple pie to cheer you up. There is homemade custard, cream (whipped and pouring) or there is vanilla ice-cream the choice is yours.

Why are you feeling sad?

On the subject of mattresses the worst one I had was a seally memory foam one. It was great for about 6 months then it was so lumpy I had to get a new one.

I is still sad !!

Is anyone there ???

We need to get our bed fixed...it did get broken. Also need a new mattress but have to get it made special like the bed. It isn't a normal Queen Size bed because it has to fit in the mezzanine space and I have to be able to walk around the end of it rather than clamber over it.

Hi... I am back.

Persie :-)

Cheesy potato patties, broccoli and mushroom omelette, grilled tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, baked beans.....yurmmmmmm thank you :-D

I got us a new bed and mattress when we had the bedroom done, the mattress is a mix of mattress stuff and the top is that memory foam, you dont turn it over just turn in around

The pillows are ace....memory foam on one side and a nice feather like feel on the other, I think they were about £12 each but well worth worth it.....and no looking like you f###'' a duck when making the bed!!!

Thanks Sylvs. Sleep tight.


Seems like I started summat over the mattresses! Ours was expensive too and probably about 10 years old. We turn it regularly but, because OH sleeps semi-sitting (because of health probs), it develops a slight dip. I'm fine on it but he tends to slip a bit. Thinking caps on.


Must rush..........~~~

Nite nite Sylvia,

Thanks for the lovely brekkie!
