    Great attitude :j Fingers crossed for you and hope your sis is recovering well.

    - I am so relieved for you, I hope you enjoy the weekend (despite the weather)

    Woody is funny and clever. We have underfloor heating in the bathroom, set on timer to come on after tea so it is warm for kids bathtime. Woody knows this so every evening you find him sprawled out on the bathroom floor in front of the radiator on the heated tiles :rotfl: He is very indignant if I move the bath floor mat which he likes to lay on.
