    Forgot to say: DS1 was bitten by a dog on his paper round this afternoon. :eek:

    Hope he is ok and that you have told the newspaper shop:mad:

    I'm in and I'm back on the anniversary decluttering for the next fortnight if anybody wants to join me.

    I need to phone my mother and then I'll start the kitchen once the DW is finished.

    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
