    Morning Everyone.

    Dailies done.
    DDs shopping done
    Lightbulbs got. ( Why do I buy more than I go in for in Wilkos?)
    Washer fixed and towels in.

    Meeting a friend for lunch then later going to DDs.

    Jake has been in the huff for a couple of hours but now sound asleep on his new bed.

    rosepink Hugs.

    As long as it has 'little feet' (most of them have) then it'll be fine.
