    I have a brother and sister twins, but my brother died young, 21, anyway one was a breech and the other was normal. My sister was the breech and very small which I think helped. She isn't very small now! Mum went on to have another boy then another pair of twins, two boys. I love Call the Midwife, new series just started. I was a nurse and was going to train as a midwife but met 1st OH and had babies instead.

    Definitely twins in her family Liz,  mine was 7lb 12lb, not huge but big enough. Didn’t want to go through that again,  very painful and for a few weeks after.

    Morning all. Woken up to snow and a small win on my Premium Bonds. A day of ironing and pottering for me I think.

    Morning all.

    I woke at 4am then worried about the septic tank. Its pipe is blocked again, 3rd time in a year. I had a man come and change a pipe last year, he said it had been badly fitted with a right angle and that I wouldn't have any more problems. I was a bit shocked at the price for digging a ditch.

    Went back to sleep at 6am and woke at 7.45, French time. P is coming to unblock the pipe today. He knew exactly what to do and told me yesterday that it does it from time to time, yet the system passed the strict French rules. It all worked perfectly at my old house yet the system failed the French rules and the buyers were told they would have to replace it and I'd had to drop the price.

    There’s always something with an older house isn’t there @Busy-Lizzie 🙄  … at least P is familiar with its quirks. 🤗

    Hello @Dovefromabove. Problem is that P is moving to Normandy fairly soon.

    The frost and sun have gone, it's raining.

    Oh dear @Busy-Lizzie :'(  ... perhaps he needs to induct someone  local and reliable into the idiosyncracies and mysteries of your septic tank before he goes  :o
