Firstly, still no boiler....they got the part and came to fit it yesterday only to find out that the people who built the house managed to block the boiler in with a shelf he could not move!! I have rebooked them to come on weds, can you believe that was the earliest they could do. Just need to figure out how to remove the offending shelf without breaking the cabinets! Luckily, still not too cold :-)
This week has been really weird though, because Bill had Monday off, and William went back to school on Weds but we couldn't go out up till then because we were waiting for the boiler man. Mills and Jaime finally went back on Thursday and I didn't get to do much while they were away because again I had to wait in for the boiler man.....I did at least get some ironing done, the pile was getting a little bit ridiculous!
Today, was a much better day though. All the children were at school this morning and I managed to get to the grocery store to fill up on food. Wow the prices have rocketed up, my normal bill was at least £10 more than it normally is and petrol, well don't get me started on that it is currently, £1.25 per litre!!!!!!!!. I also managed to fit in a coffee with a friend which was awesome. I took the girls out for a quick lunch with one of their friends who had started 'big' school today as we realised they aren't going to have play dates as such anymore.
Bill got off to Scout Camp ok, they have gone till Sunday and as it is a nationwide get together they have loads of extra stuff planned so I am praying the weather is good for them. They did have to put the tents up in the rain today.
I have managed to get lots of running in. My new routine is working well, I have clocked up 7 miles so far this week and am going again on Sunday so will probably hit 10. It is my birthday in a couple of weeks and I am trying to find a decent sports watch that will keep a good tally of my mileage and pace etc... I am still hankering after a Garmin Forerunner 110 but it is just that wee bit too expensive. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them...
Have a great weekend one and all

Good thing you won't have our weather this weekend and early next week. Highs in the 20's F and lows below zero in the 10's to 20's F. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Our furnace is working quite well, thank you. Hope you get the boiler fixed without too much extra.
10 miles this week - wow! VERY inspiring!
I hope your boiler got fixed (I guess it would be today:)
