I'm afraid flying is suspended again today - I think I used up all today's spoons and a fair proportion of tomorrow's as well yesterday. I'll just have to catch up with what I can manage later in the week. I feel badly about this, but I'm afraid there's little I can do.:(

Hi everyone, had quite a productive morning even tho DS1 isn't at nursery today so I've had a little 'helper'! I bought some stardrops last night and OMG it's amazing!! I've had these grubby marks on the doors for ages, think it's where the dog comes in from swimming in the sea and shakes everywhere, anyway I've been trying to shift them for ages, tried everything but nothing was shifting them. Diluted some stardrops with water and put in a spray bottle, quick spray and wipe over with microfibre cloth and my doors are white again!:j Going to try it in the oven as best I can this evening. Anyway, the list.....
