    Tell them to wear magnetic earrings.

    They obviously have a screw loose, and those would stop them getting under their car and going into their tyres.

    Hi Wol - you sound like you're doing better, a bit - tho counselling being a shock doesn't sound wonderful, even if it helps in the long term ....

    Is ebay a free listing weekend this weekend? I have stuff I need to put on .....

    Anyway, whatever you're doing, hope you're okay, especially in this wind - don't want the piggies getting blown away ....

    Kitchen/Utiity/Lounge/Piggies/Piggie Palace are all CLEAN AND TIDY :T:T:T

    Fourth load of washing on


    so tomoz I have to
    • photo and list ebay stuff
    • clean car...inside and out and load up with stuff to declutter to charity shops next week
    • do client work

    anything else is a bonus...(ie tidy up study/paperwork and re-organise loft)

    Baby steps......:cool:
