    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!

    Piggers... Well done on the mouse training... Does it know anymore tricks?

    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

    Pigpen~# love the mouse trick, my mouse does that some times as well.

    However, my cat brought is mousy friend in over night for 'play time' / sleep over' OH has evicted the mouse, and cat is asleep on the bed!!

    Sinked bleached
    Floors done
    Off to Loughborough today
