    Morning all.
    It's a very dull start here this morning but it's suppose to pick up later and the weekends to be good. I think i'll be spending most of the time in the garden. It badly needs it. :D

    Kids nearly ready for the school run, then after that i'll give the livingroom a hoover and bit of a tidy.

    msgnomey all the best for today.xx
    Dusty you would be great at it.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    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.
