    Not if they finish Sunday. You'd be awfully blue by then...

  • Bob passes over industrial strength stuff for DS's room....my DS always required a bomb and strong soled shoes for the amount of sharp stuff on the floor..lego, glue, scissors..i was amazed he never injured himself.

    Thanks Bob! He "tidied up" yesterday so the floor is clean and at first glance it's fine but it's all just stuffed down the side of stuff and into cupboards - I want to sort some of these areas out so there is less junk (thinking ahead about moving) and it stays tidier longer.

    But then again it's dry for once so off to drag friend out for a walk and clear my head!

    It did thanks Beanie - a couple of miles down the beach with a friend and her dog. Bright and sunny out there but brrrr very chilly!
    I have done nothing of any use since coming home though unless the lottery ticket I purchased is going to win tonight...

    Did the shopping so that's one thing off the list!

    I've been posting this in various places, so why not here, too?

    Many of you may have had this drop out of today's paper, but in case not, join in tomorrow:

    I really didn't know where to post it, so may repeat it elsewhere.
    You needn't be twitcher-minded; it's still a good thing to do.

    Now off to Mr T, hoping lemons are reduced to re-do what I keep mistyping as 'crud'.

    That's what it amounted to early today.
