    I am WAY to hot... and standing for 15/20 minutes in a roasting sports hall was just too much to bear. Never mind everyone I needed to see saw me quick and shoved me out of the door thinking I was going to drop the baby at their feet I think lol

    Well, yes, they didn't want the paperwork and risk assessment forms, would any of us?:D

    I'll be out of reach of t'internet till Monday night so...

    a tidy heap of hugs is over there....
    a large basket of sticks for diverting the black dogs we don't want is by the door...
    and a spare drawer of spoons is here!

    Have a good weekend, all!
