    Flying ok today. Haven't finished hall as DH stuff can't be moved, and then need to hoover.

    Made delicious pot of minestrone soup. Recipe says for 4, I think it'll do 8. Kitchen almost cleared so will do that before bed and get ahead for tomorrow.

    LW~ you are welcome to pm me if you want, glad you spent you time with Dilly, will she return later next year for her hols?
    I don't know - she may; I've had her 4 times now, for varying lengths of time. If her owners want the service again, I'll get the call if I'm available at the time (she was with the service in September, but another host had her as we were away).

    We do have Sidney coming for 12 days on 17th December, so that'll be good - he's a "regular" with me now, too!:o
    P.s. Thank you for the new thread kazwookie xx
    ^ ^ ^ Wot she said!!:D

    (((HUG))) Bonnie Been there.... if I had £1 for every time I've written a post, re-read it, thought "nah, no-one'd be interested in that" and deleted it instead of posting, I'd be a rich woman!:D
