Hi Linda, did you have a restful time away and are you ready to get into full swing for Christmas, I will be off to Town on Thursday, I know I will be shattered on Friday but it will be worth it. I can't wait to go on the Ferris wheel ( I hope ) and view the town centre in the dark with all the light's on, hope I can get some good picture's of all that and my son has managed to get all the picture's of the penquin's and their name's off the internet. |

We had a very nice time Tec. It was a swish hotel which we got cheaply using Tesco vouchers, but then we spent a fortune on meals in the overpriced restaurant, but to quote and advert "i am worth it" lol |

I think snow is forecast for you, but not for us, though we had some on the mountains three weeks ago. |

Hi Tec, it is quite cold here too but I am warm as I have one of my big Aran jumper's on and of cause tight's and sock's over them so I am nice and toasty until I go into my bedroom which is alway's cold because there is a terrible draught that come's through the floor board's from the shop below. I need to cover them with a plastic sheeting I think and then I will get a fully fitted carpet to go on top, at the moment I only have one that has gape's around the edge and no underlay. |

There was loads of water everywhere, and no I don't mean in the lakes! Lots of the road edges had crumbled away and the walls and trees were down. There was snow on the top of the Kirkstone pass already |

I like the look of floor boards Diane, but they are difficult to seal. You can't win though because there always seems to be a draft coming from the bottom of the skirting boards. |

Diane, Couldn't you cover those gaps temporarily 'till you get fitted carpet. Possibly a remnant of vinolay cut up enough to cover the gaps around what you have now - or fill the gaps with decorators filler . |

Linda, floorboard's are fine at ground level or above your own room's, but when there is only ceiling of shop below and then the beam's and your floorboard's it is hard to seal them as sealent just drip's down to gap between, and the shop is cold through the night so any heat from radiator in my bedroom is killed by the draught coming up. That is why when I do get round to recarpeting I will get some plastic sheeting and put it over the board's first to keep out the draught and then put underlay on top then finally the carpet. |

No Tec, I didn't go fishing, I can't say that I have ever been fishing. I went shopping though! |

Diane | Report | 15 Dec 2009 23:15 |
That's an idea Tec, decorator's filler I haven't tried that, which one would you recommend. |

We stayed on Ullswater, but went only as far as Windermere, we went over the car ferry, and we went to Coniston water, but that was all we did this time. Cockermouth was further over towards the coast. There were trees and walls down all over the place, the whole area was so badly affected. It started to rain overnight and you could see the water just standing, so if there is much more rain, everywhere will just flood again. |
