    I forgot the report, sorry.

    Only one needed doing. In the kitchen, the first from the boiler. The rest were fine. I'll give it a couple of days and check again.

    Also, the leaves on the tree outside my window are falling off. Soon I'll have a lovely view of the council estate over the road.

    You big girl's blouse! The sun's out, it's lovely. I've had worse caravan holidays in August in Wales, therefore it's a good day for a barbie.

    Do apples 'chunter'?

    Dude, you were married to a young student nurse, and the best thing to keep the bed warm was this?

    PM me I'll send you some basic guidlines.

    Yep, you just have to make sure there are no gaps between quilt and bed where the gas might escape.
