    Afternoon all

    Work done for the day
    DS2 off school sick

    PenPen - glad things are turning out positive after such a horrid experience. Can I ask who you insure with? Don't forget to up your security as like the others said they will be back for the new things in about 6 weeks.

    I've set the wm

    Going to have some lunch
    do my dailies
    make some soup for DS2 for later

    If I've time I'll do paperwork or dusting after that - it is too hot to do much else!
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
