Chatter

Had a mad dash into town this evening to find some leggins for Suzie.  She is performing with the school drama group tomorrow, at a local theatre.  Thankfully found some in the last shop!

Have been tired today.  No swimming, but JJ came round for a few cups of tea and a chat.  She has handed her notice in at her work.  Astounding how one can be treated so unfairly at such a well-thought of establishment.  This however is good news for my teapot, as JJ will be able to resume her weekly visits.  

Following the demise of our final fish a couple of months ago, Hubby and I made the decision to get rid of the fish tank.  It has however remained in situ in the living room, still full of water, for too long. The local dentist has expressed an interest, so cross fingers it could be gone very soon.  Then we can think about more seating.  We have an 'L' shaped sofa, which we are very fond of and a bean bag, which I for one have come to loathe!  The noise, the untidiness, the downright uncomfortableness, and the sliding of our guests should they make the mistake to choose 'the beanbag'.   So I'm thinking get two comfy chairs, nothing too huge,.. one to be in place of the sagbag and the other can go in the corner where the fish tank has been.  How exciting! I'll keep you in the loop!

Friday's water leak from the central heating boiler has not restarted thank goodness.  Every visit from the gas man brings the same comment, that our boiler is on the 'reduced parts list'.  Despite this, they always seem to have the required 'parts' in their van.  Anyhoo, we concede that the boiler is rather old now - it was already installed when we moved in 15 years ago.  So Hubby has said that we will get some quotes and sort out a new boiler.

Then there is the back door.  When we had double glazing installed some years ago now,  it was my choice to keep the original wooden back door.  However with the draft issue, and the added security a double glazed one would bring, we have been in touch with a local glazier.  Once he realised we wanted him to install a factory made one, not a beaded concoction of his own, he promised to drop off a quote in the next few days.

So here's to a little bit of excitement as we carry out a few changes around the house!
