    Hampster - Butlins is back up now
    Miss Piggy - Poor Piglet, not interested in Postman Pat does sound serious!!

    Lots of snow still here but its gone all crunchy and icy so horrible and slippy, wont be going out again today. OH working from home today after his skidding yesterday. Still dont know where the £500 excess will come from:eek:

    • Make some leek + potatoe soup as inspired by lots of you making/eating HM soups.
    • Daily scratches
    • Check online banking
    • NSD
