  • Well here I am day 8. Bells won't be tolling tonight. If ever I needed a reason to confirm why I'm doing this I got it. DS2 comes off his bike at skate park, a drive to local A & E, two xrays, fractured collar bone and a glued eyebrow later and it's hot sweet tea all round.

    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 :o

  • 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.
