Phew, my forgetting to actually put the cheese into the cheese sauce for macaroni cheese tonight- - wasnt a disaster after all. I just put loads on top for grilling & then when top browned, just turned off the grill & shut the door. The cheese then melted down into the sauce.
Shant be late out of bed tonight. OH leaves about 5.30am on Mondays & daughter was early this morning too. We've just had a small packet of the forgotten chocolate buttons between us.
Know am tired as cant spell/type properly. Still only another 4 lots before the next scan to see if can have the remaining 3, yay! The end is in sight... J.
30 hours without power! I just couldn't imagine it. Especially in this cold weather. Hope all the elderly are thought of by friends, family and neighbours.
Hello Forkers. It's pretty cold here as the central heating boiler decided to pack up yesterday afternoon and won't be fixed till Wednesday. Glad it was a sunny day today so it was nice and warm in the conservatory anyway. Will try and catch up with all posts now ....
Evening Caz Hope the weather doesn't turn cold before your boilers fixed.
Becks , that happened to us. When we first moved here , we were plagued by power cuts, Every other weekend . odd times through the week and once the whole of Boxing Day. The excuse from the the powers that be that it was birds flying in to the power lines. The last straw was when we were cut off for 36HOURS !!! Hubbie and neighbour found the problem - it was the tranformer in the woods. A branch had fell on it so they got the direct phone number off it and rang Manchester who were aware of the problem but not aware of the problem with the transformer. At that point, I lost the plot. I informed our local paper and Energywatch. The paper ran a front page story and Energywatch interviewed everyone and then told me they had organised for me to have a radio interview and would I agree !! Must admit it was one of the most nerve wracking things I've ever done.
We were all given compensation as we had been without power for so long but had to claim on our insurance for the freezers as everything was ruined.
We were told there had been a long standing problem with the transformer and since then we haven't had any more problems but what a nightmare.
I really feel for those people who will be without power .
Morning, just a quick hello before I go to work, didn't manage to catch up with you yesterday. Didn't want you to think I was slacking. Left OH in bed this morning and just made a quick cup of tea and a piece of toast.
Sorry to hear abot the boiler problem, ours is 24 years old, so expecting to be in a similar position soon, can't get the parts for it any more, so we just keep our fingers crossed.

I think those people will leave their homes Becks-that long without power sounds like a nightmare
I can remember power cuts of 4 hours during the miners strike-that was bad enough -but 30 hours
