    my boys, (the're 21 and 22 now), used to aim at a ping-pong ball floating in the pan. It stayed clean :eek: and didn't flush away. But it sure does improve their aim, which small boys are terrible at.;)

    I need a flipping ping pong ball! In fairness to him though...He knows to clean the seat or call me if it goes further.... and fair play to him - I taught him how to change a toilet roll!!! :T:T

    Evening all

    Never did get to the flying today, life, that is gardening, supping tea and chewing the fat got in the way but ho hum.

    Mudders great news on Stripes and enjoy your course

    Boddy I admire how much helping/volunteering you do x

    Toots - getting vibes that you need a hug right now sweetie x

    Valli - hope Jinx is ok, shame I'm not nearer as I have some cat ibup like stuff

    Can't believe the time. Need to get DS3 ready for bed and then I'm attempting to make my own fizzy wine - heard it on the radio buy cheap wine and fizz it in the soda stream - cool idea if it works.

  • Mudbath - I'm pleased to hear about stripes. Enjoy your lovely walks together, because as you say, we benefit every bit as much as the pooch!

    Dippypud - Thanks for the advice pud, I'll see what the council has to say about grants etc.

    The weather has changed here. We have had quite a nice sunny day but it's turned really cold and windy. A nice cuppa and then bed for me I think.

    Good night all
