    Afternoon all

    One of those days when the flying keeps getting interrupted but never mind.

    Nattyt fantastic news on the keys

    PenPen love the 'Hot Dog'. BTW it has been proven that spiders don't mind conkers - on the radio yesterday, kids had done all these fab experiments to prove it :p

    Toots - good news on the wheels - are you going to pimp your ride :rotfl:

    Crafty I am trying to spend less time on the pc for me delaying the time I put it on in the day helps - today not until lunchtime.

    Just need to let the cake finish cooking and another HHC challendge and then off to the nurse for a smear test (PenPen I've checked and my appointment is today!)

    List update later after I have hopefully completed at least one thing to strike.

    Hmm can't update my lists as baby is having a "scream blue murder evertime Mum puts me down for 5 seconds" day. Have taken DS1 to his little music group, then came back, fed said baby, got a sausage casserole in the SC for dinner, washed sheets and got them on the line, then bought them in and put them in the TD because it started to rain and I CBA to do the hokey kokey with it, sterilised bottles and breast pump, fed myself and DS2 and now about to feed baby again while uploading some pics and a video to facebook. Then will try and get DS1 down for a nap, do a HHC in the bathroom to get that done and have a little nap myself as I'm knackered.

    Off I go...
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    Shopaholic to get rid of spiders..... get a Beagle! As a child, we had a Beagle x Staffie, and I used to have to rescue spiders and put them outside before she saw them.:D

    My staffy is great at catching them as old as he is and he is old!!! But he will still knock you flying to get to them:D

    DS bedroom all done but did something to my shoulder not sure what when I was changing his bed so need some more painkillers as in absolute agony.
