    Who pee'd in the hall - cat, child or dog? I don't much care :wall:, wine, bath, 30p basic toffees and Agatha Christie beckon.

    Dusty- your house is lovely, ignore your mother. I would gladly swap.
    Soappie - huge hugs for you whatever it is, rare that you need them like Dusty so double portions for you both.

    Just had a letter saying my driving licence photocard needs renewing. Good think I had those passport photos taken. Only problem is... where's my driving licence :o

    When you find it, can you please see if my National Trust car is there too :( I have DH's but not mine - we always keep them together so no idea how they've been separated :(
