    Morning fellow flyladies!

    DS and DD2 dispatched to work/school.

    About to take DD1 a cuppa - she is awake early to watch the last couple of hours of Chris Moyles epic challenge (he's been on Radio 1 since 6.30am on Wednesday!)

    Then I've got to investigate the fridge - something is a bit 'ripe'!
