You can get a new steam mop for around £25, I paid £1 for mine on an Ebay auction

The statue of King Arthur at Tintagel?

You beat me to it

It looks lovely, Wendy. I wouldn't want to be out in it though

Redoing the mastic under the upstairs window didn't work, still dripping when the rain is blowing against the front of the house. I took advantage of the break in the rain this morning and have been up the ladder, the troughing had moved away from the house by an inch so some of the rain was runnin...

There was a couple of inches on the car before I set off this morning, nowt over here in Chorley though.

The school where my son works have isolated the pupils and staff who have just returned from Italy, fortunately they have some 'spare' buildings . No sign of the school closing though.

Let's see if Npower manage to get the gas meter in today, it's visit number 5. Monday was postponed because of the weather.

11:51, they have 9 minutes to make their 08:00 -12:00 window...

12:40, having a nice conversation with their complaints department.

Back in Time to the Corner Shop on BBC2, great stuff and worth a watch.

Tiffany?

Aye, the original Tiffany glass lampshades are very expensive. There are lots 'in the style of', I don't have a pic of the actual shade that's hanging from the ceiling but it's very much like this one

I'd wear a shirt like that, very nice.

Drifted into B&Q yesterday and casually mentioned that the pensioners discount card wouldn't do me much good on a monday. I was told it had been stopped on everything other than gardening goods so there's no point in going on a wednesday to help people with a bit of discount. I joined the B&Q Club ...

That’s a tiny corner.
I do like the lamp! ( not sure it goes with the wallpaper...)

There's a different colour Tiffany style shade hanging in the centre of the room, that probably doesn't either

I think this topic has slid off piste.....

You started the slide after my perfectly valid for the topic post by querying Nerf Guns, so it's all your own fault Stanley.

Back on topic I have just been in the shower.

I didn't help things either

Youngest offspring has abandoned attempts to get to work, Harrogate to York, as the roads are 'gridlocked'.

How muddy is it round the reservoirs Kev?

It was halfway up my boots in places on the lower res, we only went a short distance from Skipton Road and then turned left up towards Langroyd. Looking forward to drier weather so we can explore properly.

It dried up a bit today, had a nice walk in a cold wind.

I realised this morning that after 20 hours of constant rain I have the same small leak in the kitchen window head. It has been noted and will be dealt with! I have the same, I believe I have identified the source. The mastic seal around the upstairs window above is failing and the rain is being dr...

Gas combi here too, everything else is electric.

I can

I think Kev was aiming at jokes and missed. I have just been out in the cold rain....

I was, not sure how I posted it on here

The site is terribly slow this morning, posting is like wading through treacle. Not a problem we have encountered lately. [I've checked, connection speed is normal and other sites are OK.] Later, at 05:00, it has recovered and is now on normal speed. Earlier I reflected that it was dial-up speed an...
