    Breakding news...breaking news.....

    This morning at 8:01 Dusty spied the bottom of the laundry basket, it was only a brief glimpse but enough to give her hope that one day she would see it again.

    Morning All

    83rachel - are Superman stickarounds any good for your kids' bedroom? - don't know how old they are.

    So far this morning I've washed dishes - still more to do though and cleared and dusted a shelf. So not much.

    HHC anyone 8.45 - 9.15?
