    Great news tag! Glad he's back safe and sound :T

    Morning all

    The things that live on the lovely oiled kitchen worktop are back and the things that don't are now on the kitchen table to be sorted later. Checked library books online - renewals is down but ours are not due until tuesday so that is ok.

    Off to the shower now and then town to get SiL present for Monday and pop to the bank

    can't sleep so I am up wandering about MSE and giving my two bobs worth to everything!

    I love doing that too. Hope you got some sleep in the end.

    Soappie - thanks for the help with the lasagna - it was great, I'll do the mushrooms tonight.
