    No accidents so far this morning, and Ollie actually said "I need a wee" rather than just squeaking and making a funny face. I guess that's progress? :rotfl:

    Fingers crossed Hellyboo!

    Morning all

    kids off to their dads,
    LSB due shortly
    lots of washing out (towels and sheets)

    extra level of security added to Paypal account as DS is selling some game account and has handed out my email address to send payment (in dollars) to. Since he knows where I write my passwords I logged in to change it but have added security key, where they text a random code to my mobile every time I log on. So pleased with that.
