    Hex - loving your sig, have you changed it?

    yes thanks, I needed something a bit more cheerful!

    DS2 has managed to split DS1s lip, which has swollen up so not going anywhere now. DS1 gave DS2 a nosebleed earlier this week so they seem to be about even. Both allegedly accidents, both heartbroken to have hurt the other :rolleyes:

    Making some pizza dough, and then I am going to have a big clear out in our bedroom. HHC 11.45-12.15?
