    Tomorrows list is printed out with DD's jobs highlighted ;) My brain has frozen mid answer so I'm bookmarking and going to bed. I can see two all nighters ahead of me at this rate :o

    Flying wise...I've cleared the table after tea and emptied the WM of the last load of cuddly toys to be put out on the line tomorrow once the rain clears.

    Right, bed time... Under Siege (which I've been listening to while working) will have to wait until tomorrow night now. :wave:
