Jools - tell your OH not to be such a wimp. There are lots of things more painful than root canals. Although my dentist does say men have much lower pain thresholds than women as far as he can tell from how they behave when he is treating them!

Morning All
Well I had a good day at work yesterday but I was absolutely shattered so I went to bed not long after the kids! Needless to say I didn't get any flying done though.
So I'm going to get up in a second, put the WM on and wash some dishes. Make lunches - pasta salad I think - and then possibly hoover if the kids are sorted and I have chance.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Forgot to get other load of washing in off the line last night, now it is wet from the rain, so it can stay there for now.
