    Autopsy results have discovered bubbles in Michael Jacksons rectum. Police are saying it's difficult to rule out any monkey business...

    Morning everyone.

    I have been busy. The dog has had a bit of a stomach upset in the night so the utility floor has had an unexpected wash and disinfect. I also had to hose down parts of the patio as well to clean it ~sigh~. She seems fine in herself but I shall keep a close eye on her. One load of washing on the line and my bedding is currently going through the rinse cycle. We have sunshine again and it's not as humid as it was yesterday.

    G&B it has arrived!! Thank you very much, I shall read the instructions later and have a go tomorrow when everybody is out of the house at cricket xx

    That was quite quick, glad it arrived safely. You need to put the ice things in the freezer so they are ready to use.

    Morning, not long up, didnt get back from work til nearly 2am so i'm a little tired. The house is empty though which means i am getting peace and quiet:D Just going for a bath then need to get ready for work.

    Have a lovely day everyone.
