    Afternoon all. It's really muggy here today, I have just spent the last half hour hoovering my bathroom. As its one of the coolest rooms in the house the dogs like to lie in there and as a result the carpet is covered in dog hair. Our younger dog has quite wiry short hair which is NOT easy to get up and the older dog has really long hair which is just as nasty to get up.... now who's idea was it to have 2 dogs hmmmm? lol
    Anyhoo, now need to clear the gibble in the living room so i can run the hoover round in here and make the place look less like a dog hair factory lol.... AND who's idea was it to have hard flooring with the aforementioned 2 dogs..........

    its almost too hot here to open the windows.

    The weather has not been so good here over the last 2 days, it even rained through the night. Hoping LadyL has all my good weather with her instead.

    Just ironed the stuff that was washed earlier, CBA to do much else.

    DS has just come in with a wrist band as they were 'clap' testing teenagers in town (chlamydia - I told him it isn't clap, which AFAIK is syphilis but I will check)..,asked him if they had given him condoms...he tried to pass it off nonchalantly then got his stash out including emergency key rings lol. Ice cream flavoured ones...and more!

    I'm now the proud owner of an emergency key ring with a condom in LOL

    So that was a healthy adult discussion with my boy who will be 17 in september ;)

    no it's [STRIKE]gonor[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]gonnorhoe[/STRIKE]
    the one that isn't syphilis LOL

    and I probably can't spell that, either :rotfl:
