Just as well Clive and Derek are small dogs – Lhasa Apsos, although I have looked after a Labrador before.

Hope you're feeling a bit better, Wolfie: I did snork loudly at the dog's names 'cos it made me think of

Thanks for that - it's what Mr LW was trying to describe to me (he saw the TV series, I didn't) - he reckons the dogs' owners must be fans.:o

We've had a Peggy Sue staying with us previously - but no prizes for guessing her owners' taste in music!:D

'Fraid I've done bu88er all except make choccie mousse for today's and tomorrow's pud; tonight's dins is the 2nd half of the quiche I made yesterday, and Mr LW has offered to cook egg'n'chips for us tomorrow.:A

My flying today has consisted of S&Sing the kitchen, putting a load of washing on and................... getting a cat:) She's pretty, if a little scruffy! She's a rescue and needs fed up a bit as she was a stray. Will post pics when she has settled a bit, dont want to scare her.

Ok, have failed miserably already lol. It started off ok, cleared the LR floor, ready to be swept and mopped but then I realised that I left my broom, mop and bucket in DP car as we were cleaning his shop out on Friday. So then I didn't carry on but went to Zumba, came home, had some lunch and went to see DP for a bit. And then it was time to get DD from school. Oh well, will do better tomorrow.

Hall, stairs and landing DONE. Even moved the linen chest of drawers on the top landing and hoovered under it. Haven't done that since we moved in 5 years ago!

Living room DONE except that I need to carry all the ironing upstairs and put it away. A job I avoid if I can as pathetic left achilles tendon limits me to stairs no more than 5 times a day or I won't be able to walk at all tomorrow....

Cleaned DS1s shoes and trainers and packed for school on Wednesday. Two loads of washing on the line in a gale force wind. Made tomato soup using toms & onions from the garden - simmering ready for lunch. Made chicken goujon things for DSs lunch. Chopped, blanched and frozen 3kg runner beans. Will make some runner bean chutney later once Mr T arrives this PM with the shopping as have run out of sugar. Chutney done - looks a bit odd but a recipe recommended by several people so maybe it will improve with age?! Finished the ironing as well - even the fitted box valance sheet which is the most difficult thing to iron and has been in the basket for 8 weeks!

Out to watch football match with DH and DS1 tonight - DS first time at a "proper" stadium (well, Charlton anyway!). Have to put up with the Valley as local and can't afford White Hart Lane.
