    Hello Ladies, I'm in this week. Thanks to Pigpen and Toots for all their hard work in keeping the thread running.

    My frog is that the tumble dryer isn't producing any heat. This coupled with the fact that it rains every 20 minutes means that I have mountains of wet washing and the heating isn't on to dry it.

    DS2 has his plaster cast coming off on Tuesday. It's been an long 7 weeks!

    Off to watch The Apprentice now. See you all tomorrow.

    I took the kids to the carnival this afternoon in amongst the rain so that was fun. Other than going food shopping this morning that's about it.

    I'm going to work tomorrow and I feel sick.:( Beavers and Cubs tomorrow night and I need to ring another 2 schools to arrange visits.
