Brrrr!
We ran out of oil for our heating yesterday! I have NEVER done that before. I am usually completely paranoid about it but with all the changing jobs and broken cars over the last month, I forgot. Brr it is cold! We have the fire going in the lounge and it is quite cozy. The problem is that because it is so lovely and cosy, the rest of the house feels freezing. The oil man says he might be able to come by Monday! I begged the lady on the phone to make him come earlier - we will see. We have a friend's kids coming to stay this weekend while they go away for the night. I am back up to 6 kids and the house is freezing!
I think every time Stuart goes away the house feels like the master is out and it can play up. First the oil and then a flood under the sink. Actually not a "flood" but it was just enough to make all the foamy stuff under the sink foam and gave me a mess to clear up. I have now put everything in plastic boxes incase this happens again. We have all this lovely new plumbing from when the boys put in the new sink and the leak has found the old plumbing. *sigh*
Stuart is having a lovely time driving across from Frankfurt to Sofia in Bulgaria. Well apart from not having the right plates to go into Serbia which meant a massive detour! He won't be back until Saturday night at the earliest.
No problem! I have 6 kids here for the weekend and a husband in Romania! I am not sure what "normal" is but I would sure appreciate some of it right now!!
