Thanks just what I wanted to hear.
However, I did sleep for 15 hours on Tue/Wed and 14 hours last night so well on the mend now.

One thing won't miss when I pack up work in 10 days time is this...
Supposed to meet a pupil at 2pm today
11.30 she texts me and asks if we can move the lesson to another day - not normally a problem as I've always been flexible on timings
I text back within a minute suggesting some times and dates....
12.17.....nothing, nada, not a sausage, bugger all.......
And yet these youngsters live on their phones.......

I sometimes think this, then remind myself that I often send a message before I go into an Underground Station or a meeting.One thing won't miss when I pack up work in 10 days time is this...

My current irritation... what are these tiny little white flies that have been absolutely everywhere for the last 2 weeks?

Yeah but at least we've taken back control right.
My MIL got a new mobile phone on Wednesday and said there was no rush for me to go and set it up for her.
she's mentioned it at least twice a day since and already been on the phone today about it

What's the excuse; and are you without water, or upgrading the supply?

We have no water in the village at all, they think its a leak but dont know yet. This is about the 7th or 8th time this year, each time all they do is a patch repair then it breaks again a few weeks later. Last time they tried to blame the fire brigade for putting to much pressure on their pipes!
We have bottled water as come to expect it now, will save the upgrades for later if needed

Do OFWAT know about this? If they don't, they should.

they have but as Anglian have managed to bodge it and get supply back on inside 24 hrs each time so far it seems they are powerless

Was looking forward to getting on my favourite road the M6 Toll earlier. It was as busy as a normal motorway - there and back. Absolutely seething.

Yeah but it's still a lovely motorway. Like driving in another country - Holland for instance.
