Oh gosh, that sounds dreadful. Skateboards should be banned :rotfl:Along with BMX bikes and anything else these young boys can hurt themselves with!Need to start again

Evening all
Bells are clanging VERY loudly here tonight. Going to be touch and go. None in the house though so would have to go up the shop if I want any....and I'm determined not to.
Perhaps its the prospect of cleaning the oven tonight. Cooked piglets lunch earlier and it set the smoke alarm off!!!:rotfl:Mums spending the day with us tomorrow so don't want her thinking I'm a complete trollop that doesn't clean the oven (even though I am!!:rotfl:)
DC - ouch! Sounds painful! Hope he's better soon!!!
Fay - Hope you are still with us and not been blown away a la Dorothy!!!!

Hi Miss P
You already have the answer. Get stuck into the oven then you will be all dirty and greasy and then will not be able to go out without a bath. Once in bath soak for 30' until tender and then sleep.
