Lynda you have so much energy I don't know how you do it. I am always exhausted(perhaps I need to move house!) 

I think you should choose the plumber you feel most confident with. You could always tell him why you chose him and ask if he could reduce his estimate at all? 

You will need that retreat in Turkey to relax and unwind xxxx

Oh my goodness Lynda you really have got on with the decorating,i wouldn't be able to do ceilings as i'm no good on ladders or looking up,must be very tempting to do them but i'd be waiting for the son to do them

We've had a lovely day at Foxton Locks today & while we were there we bumped into a polar bear, she sends love & gentle hugs to all,they're a lovely family & it was a delight to spend some time with them all,she did say she'd wondered what would happen if a snail & a polar bear met,well i can now tell you.they talk,laugh & drink a lot of tea,hope we can do it again

hope all have had a good day & are as well as can be

Love & hugs to all

I don't have energy, just a sort of manic desperation! I was determined to get the place decorated while I can, which means before Turkey. Afte this I am not looking at another paintbrush for years. Thanks, I think it best to go with the one who inspires confidence and with a recommendation especially as it is a big job and the first time I will have used gem. Carol, you are having a week of meet ups.

You've done a fantastic job Lynda & i'm full of admiration for you,i have spoken to some lovely people on this site & it has been so nice to put faces to names & proper hug with them

Hi All,

It was lovely to meet Carol and Vince today, and put a face to a name, you are two lovely people and it was great to see you. I am still about and yes sending gentle hugs to all, hubby starting his phased return next week, hoping things settle down and we enjoy this next phase in our lives.

Love to you all xxxx

Polarbear,

Ggod luck to hubby with his phased return, I go back on a phased return in just over a week, we'll have to compare notes.

Carol you have had a great week of catch ups, sounds like we have been lucky with the Welsh weather; it's been a beautiful day today lots of beach fun!

Lynda, I agree with going with your instincts on workmen, cheapest is not always the best option. Well done on the painting.

Oh dear Moomy, the great british summer! Hope you have dried out.

Gillian, how are you feeling after your blood? Hope it has given you a bit more energy.

Keith, I could do with a large pasta dish if Rosemary is at a loss what to create.

love to all xx

Wow, a snail and a polar bear meeting! 

Yes, you are all lovely people! 

Big hugs (gentle ones for Lynda - you are right going for the recommended plumber!)

Eek........plumber has had a job he was due to work on for the next two weeks postponed, so I asked if instead of re jigging his other jobs he could do my bathroom. So he starts Tuesday! 

So so much for my rest day. I now have to dash off this afternoon (an hours drive) and order all the bathroom stuff for delivery Tuesday.

by the time I get back from holiday I will have a shiny new bathroom :)    Ready to paint :( 

have ve a good day everyone.

But in your return from your holiday, you will have a bright, shiny new home! 

Bit of a shock, but then, if it needs doing, the sooner, the better, surely?!

Hugs xxx

Hello everybody

I hope all are well & have enjoyed some sunshine today,we had a day doing nothing but we did nothing together so it was another lovely day

Gosh Lynda things are moving along at a pace now,i hope you managed to get your bathroom furniture & they can deliver it befor the plummer arrives,just think how lovely it will be to come home all calm & rested from your holiday & find a new bathroom & if you're very lucky the ceilings will have been painted too

How are you Gillian,hope all went well & you're curled up at home resting ready for tomorrows visitors

Pleased you've had a good holiday Jakki & spent lots of time on the beach,always a nice place to be with the little people,next year when we go we will need bats & balls to go with buckets & spades as the twins will be big enough to play games
