    jools - Know what you mean. I'm just up the road. DH has just walked in and asked if I'd like my garden bag. Apparently its flown over the house and was lying in the front garden. No way the hound is getting a walk tonight.

    hi everyone

    I've been sorting out the master & guest bedrooms today, I want to move back in our room at the weekend, so lots of sorting, and tidying. It's looking good though. A bit off list though!

    shysarah I've put a bit of steak outside the door for your BD - how dare he spoil your brilliant 69%??!! Well done you :)

    Anyone heard from soappie, or greenbee?

    Doing the bedtime wind-down with DD, and then an exercise DVD (I must..), then dinner, and then some more flying. I've just attached one of those energy meters (thanks sparkleworld for the inspiration) and am going round switching things off and on and seeing how much they change the reading :eek:

    back later
