    Im sorry this is slightly off subject, but can anyone suggest where I can buy some chalk? :confused: I have bought this small blackboard with pink flowers round the edge. I want to make a "Fairy Land" sign, but believe it not, I can't find any chalk in the shops. I have tried an art shop and WH Smiths and a few smaller shops with no luck at all. Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks! Abbie x

    Somewhere like Toys 'R' Us maybe (or some other toy store)

    I hope this will still be working when I get home from work tonight (about 9.30), but in case it's not - see you all on the other side!


    Most of the washing is dry now the sun has finally come out and I've put that away. I'm going to check the rest in another half an hour. I sat outside reading for a while until it got too HOT. It's hard to believe it was so cold this morning.

    Need to go and tidy up the kitchen now before NN comes over to help me declutter Gordon. The messy fairy has visited whilst I was at work :rolleyes:
