I'm in. House looks rather unusually good after flying last week. Yay. I'm working my way through a pile of magazines while watching antiques roadshow. Can smell roasting chicken from the kitchen. Numnumnum. Only problem is I have to wait for another 1/2 hr or so.
DH is currently melting lead in the kitchen for diving weights so I'm staying well away.

I'm in this week - thank you pigpen and Toots
Hope everyone is ok - take hugs, congrats and Happy Birthdays as appropriate.
House isn't too bad (well, I can't do too much damage in under 48 hours!!!)but I have lots of things I'd like to get done over the holidays. I need a list!!
Mum is 70 tomorrow so will be going to the cinema in the afternoon and then for Chinese

HHI done.

I'm in again. Thanks for the thread xx
It's thundering and halestoning here. The cat has returned home drenched and has now been sick (sorry).0 -
Well. Roast chicken was delicious but kitchen now looks like a bomb site. Why do roasts seem to cause so much more washing up? Going to sit and digest for a while before tackling with a vengeance. Plenty left for husband to have chicken sandwichs for lunch tomorrow and leftover roast dinner on Tuesday night. The joy of rubberised chicken.
Dog now looking at me hopefully - I've been fed, you've been fed, where is the adoration and Pedigree Dentasitk (he goes mad for them) He's just going to have to wait until I've flown.
ETA. Thanks piggers and toots for the shiny new fred. DH gets hoovering duties tomorrow as he's dropped bits of glue etc all over the SR floor from playing with dive kit.:DGC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500
