    Will have a look at that thanks. I love it, i have an iphone so knew it would be good but even still i'm very impressed with it. Just downloaded the Kindle app for it which kills 2 birds with one stone as he was going to buy me a kindle instead but thought i'd prefer an ipad:D Erm, yes, yes i do.

    Just checked with DH and the app is called Go Sky Watch. I've got an iPhone too and use a Mac at home so we're real Apple lovers!!!


    Done all my dailies - go me! :j Of course I haven't touched anything else on my list yet but Rome wasn't built in a day was it!

    magic girl - I had the same thing with my cat and sofa - the smell is just too vile isn't it no amount of vinegar and bicarb can deal with it. In the end we gave the cat to a friend of a friend, I didn't feel that we were being fair to her - she prowled round the baby so I had to keep her away from her, she didn't get the attention she was used to, and then when the stairgates went up she was really just confined to the kitchen and outside which didn't seem right at all when she was used to having a free roam of the house. She's now tucked up with an elderly couple who fuss her all day so a good outcome all round really. What I found I needed with my PGP/SPD was sitting with my hips higher than my knees (tip came from my yoga teacher) so I would pile up sofa cushions to build my little throne - perhaps its worth hanging on to a few of the non-smelly ones to get you comfy??:) Oh, and when she was in her full weeing everywhere phase, the vet sold me this plug in pheremone smell thing (like an air freshener) that was meant to calm her down. Not sure if it worked or not really!

    FLying -wise - DH gave me a lie in till 7 so I'm a bit slow off the mark today - kids are murdering each other so the Cbeebies babysitter might have to go on so I can clear up a bit:o

    Morning all

    Washing out on the line. Very loud drilling going on. I've vacuumed the kitchen and hallway, waste of time really but the thought was there. Tried to watch Corrie on itv player but I couldn't hear it. There were subtitles on the first episode but not on the second, maybe later.
