    My goodness it's chilly out there today! Just battled round town with DH's chair....worn out now.

    Bed runners - mine are there for the express purpose of collecting cat fluff and icked up hair balls (at least they do it on the runner - not on the bed)....I'm very anal about my bed though and remake it properly every day.....sheets and covers get changed every 4 days or so...I do love a clean and comfy bed.

    I need to put in a Mr T's order for tomorrow but I'm lacking the motivation....

    Has Luc been back on? I know she wasn't going to be around for a few days but I demand she comes back with the communal "mojo"! :D

    were you poor like me?! lol!

    I think it is a northern thing - my parents were from Manchester and we were brought up on Breakfast, Dinner and Tea as well, but down here they call it lunch and dinner which used to cause much confusion between me and my friends!
