    Well, barbecue done, company was good, I enjoyed myself. And, thankfully (and is this really wrong of me?) the guests have all now left. So I can get to bed before the witching hour. And boy do I need that! I'm pooped.

    Night night ladies.

    Soappie - happy birthday, have a great day

    Lil_me - 10000 - well done. Hope you got a good night's sleep and have a better day. Even if LL wants to sell it might not be so easy atm so hopefully you will get to stay in the house.

    Triker - are you a RL supporter or did you just happen to be in the pub?!

    Kaz - hope Atomic Kitten weren't too bad and you got back to a clean kitchen. You did such a good job earlier of replying to the last few days I was nearly tempted to just quote you, or worse, plagiarise! Instead will just try to keep up from now on.

    Dusty - hope you get a family day out sorted

    PP - hope you enjoyed your rare night out and you are on the receiving end of some good karma

    Just got in and having a cup of tea before bed. OH at his Mum's for a few days to do some jobs for her - he took her back on Friday after she had spent a few days here. I've trashed the house (well couple of rooms) since they left so best sort that out later today. Will post a list in a minute.

    Hope you all have a good day and a great end to the week
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Morning all

    And thank you for the birthday wishes. Looks like it's going to be a lovely sunny day here today so I may just allow myself time to sit in the garden and enjoy it.

    Lil-me - you don't know how old that makes me feel - to be the same age as your Mum!
