  • Water everywhere

    I tend not to go into my children's rooms. I believe that they should have privacy if they want, to be allowed to arrange their rooms as they want. All I require is that washing makes an appearance for me to do rather than hunt for and beds are changed regularly (hopefully once a week but I have two boys so the sheets do tend to walk to the washing machine by themselves if I don't nag the kids for them).

    So imagine my surprise today, while in the process of looking after them and putting away the mountain of ironing that I had tackled to relieve the boredom of my enforced saty at home, when I went into youngest child's room to find his window dripping in condesation and water marks on the walls. His room gets quite warm so he tends to turn off his radiator, thereby when it is turned on again there is a lot of condensation. Mind you since we had the double glazing installed there is a lot of it in the house. We are an end house as well so it gets quite cold compared to our neighbours house which is warm and though the heating is on low, we still swim in condensation on the windows. Hubby is convinced the company that put them in were cowboys!

    I know that ventilation could ease the problem and I do tend to open the windows to 'air out' as my mother would say, but it isn't easing it.

    Instead of a holiday next year we have decided to tackle the endless list of jobs - new bathroom, decorate hallway etc, that needs to be done. The list is getting bigger. Decorate a bedroom and sort out the condensation problem has just been added to it;)

  • The lurgy resides here

    Today dawns and I feel like I should have one of those red crosses on my front door to warn people that the lurgy is residing here.

    Hubby is still ill and has not emerged from the cocoon of the bed.

    both children are being sick.

    So far I feel ok, but it is only a matter of time before I come down with something isn't it lol!

    Don't think work will be happy at me taking time off, but I didn't have a choice, Nigel can't look after himself at the moment let alone two vomiting children.

    Just put the washing machine on again and had something to eat. Hope you are all feeling fine and hearty.
