    The little furry babbies are now climbing everywhere and eating and drinking like their mummy. They are so funny! They are happy for me to hold them and are growing pretty fast :D Will need to think of names for them in the next week or so .......

    Im in again. Thanks to Flylady command. Just been having a discussion with DD. Her stepmum died last week and her Dad lives in MK. She does/doesnt want to go its brought up lots of family stuff for her. She has been offered a lift by her Uncle. Hopefully I can help her make sense of it all. She has never been away from my GSs before or the house. Im off to do a quick kitchen tidy then have a cuppa.

    After giving the LR a good sort through last week I want to try and do the same with the kitchen this week, it is starting to get bad again in there (my hotspots are breeding!!).
