    Evening everyone

    Sorry I have been AWOL, it has been quite a day here but more of that another time.

    I did the visualisation with you all and hope that it has a positive effect for Mudders DS, LL and Toots :)

    Huge thanks to soappie for stepping into the breach.

    OR just sew up a pair of your knickers, stuff an old pillow in 'em and Robert's your Mother's brother!!:p:D:rotfl:

    If I did have knickers they wouldn't be big enough for my little doors.. in fact I would have to donate to a mouse charity for mices with draughts!!

    Could use some of yours.. 'cept they might be 'well worn & may have some marks' as the ebay ad goes lol
