eve Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 eeek - 2 more days at work and then I'm done! My choice, had a chance of (very ) early retirement and took it. Moving to France next weekend - scary stuff, but exciting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always come to France for a holiday Though it's not hot and sunny south of France so you might not want to. But you'll be very welcome if you do. And I'll be back to the UK regularly to see family so perhaps we can arrange something. Now all I have to do is learn French properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Ooh, Sophie kinsella is ace! Which one is it you have? Just got in from work, finished late as my pre reg (not yet qualified optician), finished her last eye test late. However she and a few others were going out for wine after work. Had an ace time, didn't want come home, but was feeling a bit pizzled, so got the earlier train home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Eve, I wish you the best for your move Our temperamental central heating has finally gone kaput. It's the controls, I'm certain. The timer has always had a mind of its own, turning on and off at random but behaving perfectly when the engineer was here It is now permanently off and can no longer be turned on at the boiler itself. Good thing a different engineer/plumber is booked to visit on Tues. Meanwhile we have coal fire and fan heaters, and there is always hot water via the electric shower. Just wondering whether to have a fan heater in the chilly bedroom tonight or lug a mattress into the living room so that Polly and I can share the coal fire with Wispa.

I have a useful fan heater but will take you up on loan offer re oil-filled rad, thank you! The heating decided to come on again at 11.30 pm last night and didn't switch off until morning, so we had a nice warm night. Since then it has been running as long as the fancy takes it before cutting out and needing switching off and on again at boiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
