May I have my star please. It's very wet here so the cream floor tiles in the kitchen are getting a hammering. I'm going for dark grey slate when we replace them this year. (or next year - finances depending). .
It makes no difference you just get to see the sugar and dust and webs and margarine on it.. and miss the jam blobs which you find yourself stuck too... and it is gross!

Oh forgot to add, my laptop died a death this morning.:( Think little hands were involved as it was fine first thing and the DD2 came upstairs and said "Mummy the computer is broke"! :mad:. It won't turn on now and no power seems to go into it at all as you would at least a light to come on but nothing. So I have taken it to the pc doctor. I really hope its not terminal as its only just over a year old. Out of warranty of course :mad:. So on DD1's laptop now.0 -
