    Yes we found Polly.. she just turned up from wherever she was as I was going up to bed... they are both aslep somewhere in the house again at the moment.. goodness knows where as noone can find them.

    OH is probably the most unwell at the moment.. really hot and tired and not wanting to eat when normally he devours everything in sight. I have him drugged and in bed.

    I've been a naughty Lo-Lo this week and went out for big drinkies on Monday (on a school night, I know!) and did nowt yesterday. So now I am going to jump back on the wagon (should do after my five stars last week!) and get back up to date. The extras for the last few days are just going to have to whistle I'm afraid though because there's a pile of washing up that is only overshadowed by the pile of laundry. Mmmm, nice.
