It must be Christmas

because the Rayburn is playing up again. Not providing heat or cooking today so hubby turned it off this morning.. It is our main heat and cooker and it's freezing outside.

After lots of faffing, filter cleaning and sucking water out of the tank we now have it back on about 4pm. It may have heated up enough to cook dinner on and we have a teenage friend here for dinner before teenager and him set off for the local panto.

KK is also in the house with 3 of his friends who are watching a dvd in the other room,  I must buy them a flatscreen TV for it then I can move the xbox and encourage them in there more often.

I am enjoying the heat of the log burner in the main living room and have my christmas music on.
