    You mean Follyfoot http://follyfoot-tv.co.uk/
    and yeah..I remember it - bit of a horsey theme running through that one!
    and 'The kids from 47A'
    15 and PLAYING WITH A BALL IN THE HOUSE!

    ***looks for file named 'Riot Act'***

    pasted from above website - had to deal with DS!

    Theme song, sung by "The Settlers" and written by Steven Francis.
    (OPENING CREDITS PLAY OVER THE TOP)
    DOWN IN THE MEADOW WHERE THE WIND BLOWS FREE
    IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD STANDS THE LIGHTNING TREE
    ITS LIMBS ALL TORN FROM THE DAY IT WAS BORN
    FOR THE TREE WAS BORN IN A THUNDER STORM

    (CHORUS)
    GROW GROW THE LIGHTNING TREE, ITS NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOU AND ME
    GROW GROW THE LIGHTNING TREE, NEVER GIVE IN TOO EASILY.

    DOWN IN THE MEADOW WHERE THE WIND BLOWS FREE
    A WHISPERING BREEZE IN THE LIGHTNING TREE
    DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU WANT THEM TOO
    IF YOU WANT THEM TO, THEN ITS UP TO YOU

    (CHORUS)
    GROW GROW THE LIGHTNING TREE, ITS NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOU AND ME
    GROW GROW THE LIGHTNING TREE, NEVER GIVE IN TOO EASILY
    (FINISHES WITH) LIGHTNING TREE, LIGHTNING TREE.
    (END OPENING CREDITS)

    Think you did well to remember that song and the lyrics!

    OMG... I've just found an interview that I did for work in May and thought hadn't been broadcast. It's on You Tube and the starting frame shows me obviously mid-sentence with my mouth wide open! And now I can't get the thing to play to see how bad it is... Got it working... having to watch it with my eyes shut!

    Where's the link then? You've got to let us all see it!:D

    Food is eaten-and it was yum. DF did cheezy beans, pigs in blankets and omelettes. So I guess I should get on the kitchen now. Need to call dad first though so does anyone want to join me for HHC...12:45-13:15?

    My house is clean :D:j:j:j Took more than a HHC but the only things left on my list now are :
    • Dishes (slowcooker crock & frying pan plus breakfast ones which I'll do after lunch as DD is going out with ex for a picnic ;) )
    • Cook the Pork joint
    • Put the washing out on the line, or I might just cheat and sling it in the TD as I have a stack of towels to be washed/dried today as well and the bedding was out on the maiden last night anyway so is almost dry anyway.
    • Towels into wash
    • Gardening if I can be bothered
    • Ironing which I'll do while DD is out and I'm watching "hostel" or something from this week. ;)
    • Sewing repairs - tonights job :D
    I'm happy. Off to sort DD's blind out... I think I know what I'm going to do.... :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    In my 2 HHCs I've,

    Taken all DS's clean clothes upstairs and put them away.
    Did a bit of a tidy up in there while I was at it - not too much though, just so I could get to his drawers, as it's supposed to be his job!
    Taken all DD's clean clothes upstairs and put them away - all the clothes already in her drawers are all crumpled up though so I don't know why we bother ironing anything as I can guarantee that it'll need ironing again when she comes to wear it!
    Started to clean my bathroom - cleaned the sink and the vanity unity which is all around it, all the toothbrushes, toothpastes, containers, etc.
    Spoke to my mate on the phone
    Got her DS's bike out of my shed (it's his birthday today and it's been hiding in our shed)
    Found some eggs and greaseproof paper for her and given them all to her hubby.

    I think that's about it.

    Oh I also emptied the WM and put half in the TD and stuff that wouldn't go in there on the radiators although they aren't on!
