Thanks... dog is my parents' dog though. Sadly I don't think we'll be getting one any time soon as our work travel makes it unrealistic at the moment.

Loving the way you're talking in wes and ours, hoping you are very happy

Just popped in to check on Pigpen and Squeak....have been at work the last two days and DH been on the laptop when I've been home so I've not been able to get on.

I see Pigpen is going in today and probably already there. I'll be thinking of you Pigpen...sending lots of positive baby delivering vibes to you.

As DH has been with the girls while I've been working for the last two days you can imagine how much flying has been done.....none! He's done the DW but that's about it really. I wiped the kitchen table last night, cleared & wiped the work surfaces and did 2 x WM so I'd better go get my list so I can focus.

Back with list in a mo.

Suppose I'd better declutter my coffee and get showered and dressed.

Thinking of you too GnB today....how all goes well with DD....she's always so brave, bless her.
