We have water going down the back of the sink and it's running down the wall behind into the cupboard below .This is very complicated :)
The sink is only a gap of about an inch and half from the tiled splashback and has been set into a beechwood worktop .Over time this has started to go all grotty ,the grout is all nasty and any water that gets spashed around is running down the back of it and under the lip of the sink into the cupboard .
This usually only happens when Mr S is doing any washing up .I've tested it with a glass of water :)
My son is going to fit a new sink and worktop for us ....but ..
he's full of good intentions but we may have to wait a while ....
In the meantime is there some sort of waterproof tape that I can buy to shore up this gap pro tem.

Morning all, cloudy and chilly..what a dreary day it was yesterday, and cold with it. I think my shrubs have grown a foot over the past couple of days. Great tennis tho', well done Miss Cornitt... sorry Cornet... :) No Williams' left in the singles now, I get fed up of seeing them.

Well done jno, what I know about my family wouldn't fill a leaflet. I wonder if any of them were on the dark side, I'd be willing to give voodoo a try if I knew it would make me feel better :)
morning all. A lovely start to the day here. Dogs are out enjoying the sunshine and I have coffee. Going shopping soon.....normal life!

Morning all
Cloudy and chilly here too .It's been a dreary weekend weatherwise .
Looks as if it's going to improve from tomorrow though .
Nothing doing here.Same old .
Yes that was a really good game Robinia .I think their glory days are over .
looks like it might be sunny here... for a while... till the next T-storm. For which I'd better wear a T-shirt.
we have been out and stocked up on yummy food and new shirts!
Morning all, slept all night with sister's granddaughter, which didn't please me, a fat smelly 12 yr old. Sis snored for Britain, granddaughter fidgetted and yelped for Britian, I am so tired.
we have been to kennels to collect granddaughter s dog as mother was away overnight, then we went to car boot sale, not much there.

just now having lunch, it is very sunny and hot here.

Just watched Dolly Parton at Glasto ..brilliant .
Brightened up here now after a torrential downpour earlier .
Sis's stepdaughter went to see Dolly Parton at the O2 yesterday, we've also just seen Dolly Parton too, she is brilliant, and at 68! Puts us all to shame.

Lol Neti ..I think she's had lots of work done .
According to her Wiki page
"If I see something sagging, bagging, and dragging, I'm going to nip it, suck it and tuck it. Why should I look like an old barn yard dog if I don't have to?" and "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.
Haha ..bless... .at least she's honest about it !
My Sis went to Dollywood a few years ago. If she's home, she drives round the park and stops and chats and does photos and autographs.

There was a good programme on BBC 4 tonight about the queens of country music .Only an hour but it was very interesting .They had cameos of Patsy Cline,Tammy Wynette and Dolly of course ,and also Bobby Gentry who is still alive apparently but hasn't been seen in public for years .So I'll leave you with an old favourite and say goodnight all ,sleep toight .

oight oight all, Neti, I hope you have the bed to yourself.
nice looking morning. Plan is to have an ECG at the doctor's then two implants at the dentist's, so this will probably sour my mood.

Morning all
Looks like a nice day out there.
Best of luck with all that Jno. I have nothing exciting to do today,only hairdresser later.
Hope you're all ok .
okay jno, I won't swap lives with you today. I have done the two implants thing...whole lot of no fun.
Good afternoon all.. cloudy but warm and DRY!

Haven't watched any Glstonbury but I love Dolly...and Bobby Gentry.

I love having the bed to myself, it's the best bit about living alone, it beats me why anyone shares a bed these days. After this long I couldn't possibly sleep next to another breathing/snoring body anyway.

Hope your morning wasn't too stressful jno...I'd like to swap lives with someone who's fit, pain free and filthy rich.

Well would you believe baby moondust is one today! Where did the year go? He's a chunky monkey now, not walking yet...my house looks like I'm getting ready to move, I have to clear everything below hip height when he arrives.

Hi all, just getting ready to get train to Gatwick for flight home at 20.45hr. Just bought a new long lopsided hem t shirt, 2 cheddar cheeses , 2 big choc bars, pkts of flavoured cous cous for salads, am stuffing things into suitcase like crazy. Bought sis a new iron which is ordered and she has to collect tomorrow. Ireally really do not want to leave.
Question Author
Well I'm all blonde and cinnamon bits and look a bit more glam ..lol.
Happy Birthday Moondust .Hope your nan has been spoiling you .
Safe journey Neti .
It's been lovely and warm and sunny today . Hope you all have nice weather too.
holding ice pack against my mouth. As I expected, he could only do one implant, there wasn't enough bone for the other one - even I could feel that - so he's put bone graft in to build it up; but that one won't be finished till Christmas. I'll probably have had more teeth crumble away by then.
Question Author
Ooh that all sounds very painful Jno .I hope it soon eases off .
Christmas ? I hope you'll be Ok to eat your Christmas lunch .Don't panic though ,we'll get Vinny to liquidise the sprouts for you :)
