Hot chicks - welcome to the thread!
Valli - we're off to stay with my sister in the states. It's a bit odd as the original plan was to stay there for a year but it's not worked out. Have to say, in hindsight, i'm quite glad!! I won't be bringing too much washing back as i'll do it all at my sisters. I really am getting sad.

That's brill - I know I'm not the only person who has been abroad and longed to bung a load through because it could be drying in the hot sun instead of coming back, dirty to be washed and tumble dried because the weather is so awful here! I hope you all have a great time (and have a nice day!;) )
Nice to to catch up with the relatives!

G&B I had exactly the same problem as your DD when I was a child, with the same shallow narrow feet - shoe shopping was a nightmare, cos I could never have any of the pretty shoes that everyone else had, and at one point when my feet got to a size 6, I had to wear boy's shoes! I refused to wear them as they were really heavy and looked like the shoes traffic wardens wore. Luckily now as an adult, my feet fit into most shoes in terms of width (I wear flipflops a lot which may have helped widen them), apart from the fact that I'm a 6 1/2 so always between sizes.

Hi Welcome to newbies (more and more everyday - wow!):wave:

Errands done, birthday cards bought. DS (yes DS) now has HAIR STRAIGHTENERS of his own cos DD wopn't let him borrow hers and he wants to spike his (slightly) curly hair. OMG

So DD and I are about to have lunch then, maybe, I'll get the kitchen level 3'd.

Sunny here now though - but GALLONS of water must have bucketed down because my 210l butt is almost full (nice mix of the imperial and metric there, dontcha think?;) )

See you later ladies - must fly!

Still washing!

Kids want to take the dogs out now it's stopped raining so looks like I'll be doing that in a mo. Just had some one out to look at the boiler - he says he'll post me a quote out later - then I've got someone else coming tomorrow afternoon.

I've got another pile of dishes to do now that the kids have had their lunch so may do those next.

Anyone fancy a HHC 2.15 - 2.45 then I'll take the dogs out!
