    That's what I think. He is on borrowed time! Took DD2 to have her tooth sorted it wasn't too bad, she has lost a bit of filling but it will be ok. Was naughty and found the new shop in town. It basically takes your favourite chocolate bar ( in my case dairy milk) and whizzes it up with milk and ice cream and you slurp it up in a straw. Twas very nice and gone straight on my hips but I am getting into holiday mode so who cares?

    I have made 3 Lasagnes (1 for tea) and 2 chicken and broccoli bakes. These are going in the freezer to take with us. Got to make a couple of shepherds pies and a apple and raspberry crumble. Going to cheat and buy some tinned custard, yum. I'll finish the last of the holiday shopping on Thursday. I also need to buy some wellies as DS1 has taken custody of mine!

    DS2 and I have cleaned out the hen house and given it a swill out with jeyes fluid. Think I'm getting addicted to the stuff as I love the smell. OH finished it off with sawdust whilst I went to do the nags.

    It has been fab having my friend looking after the children. I came home and she had sorted the washing and mopped the floor. All the worktops are sparkling and I think she has been polishing the kettle! I feel a real slob but loving having a friend who helps out.

    Had the air con re-gassed which cost £69. Tried the local garage and they started saying it was the compressor. So we took it to the dealers and it came in on the price they quoted. Impressed.

    Pay day today, well it should be in the bank tomorrow. Oh happy days. Trouble is its all spent.

    My DD2s darling cat has taken to peeing in the bath!

    Our cat has never done that, but I have a friend who is trying to teach his two cats to use the Loo!!!! :eek:Apparently it IS possible he saw it on youtube, hes been trying for about 2 months now(I know) and has a bag of litter just inside the loo, then your supposed to remove the bag and hey presto. I think once they hear a splash they will be off! But who knows. Meant to say it is a loo on its own and not the one he uses!!:rotfl:

    Lucielle do you use the Jeyes Fluid on the floor or on the perch etc too?? Just wondering never used the stuff but sounds good.

    Confession time, I have seen our cat use the loo! Got the boys to come and look as nobody would believe me.
    Used the jeyes fluid on the floor, but can't see any harm on using it on the perches.

    More than welcome Beanie. How are you? Not 'seen' you around for yonks.

    A late start today, as friend who is looking after the chaps today is usually late so should be in work by 10.00.

    Managed to get all OHs paperwork up to date and even filled in some VAT forms to change the business from sole trader to partnership and then OHs digital tachograph form which has been sat on the desk for well over 6 months.

    Its looking like a potential sunny day, so off in the shower and then get some washing on the line.
