    Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like a child protection issue - or may scare the bejeebers out of them at least! :eek:

    I have spent some time with DH this evening (caught up on Sherlock). He has gone to work now :(
    Another load of washing done & dried (DS needed a shirt for tomorrow :o). I have also done a bit of work paperwork (an ob for LMS's learning journal :)) I am on a roll!!

    Off to bed now. Got to get up early as its bin day (no point putting out now as foxes will redistribute :mad:)
    Night night all x

    ETA I have a head start on tomorrows list, as I uploaded my photos today :T

    Morning all, good few things done yesterday. Today is another running about day, so i'll get very little done. Need to get all ready and out the door and then go..... I swear i'm never at home these days, suppose i have the weekend to catch up..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Good morning.

    Does anyone have a steam mop? There is a mop on Groupon and I am tempted. Will it become a white elephant or is as good as it says on the tin?

    DS3 still off school - so its a day at home for me. I have to put away all the ironing I did last night. Loads of washing still to feed into the machine.

    I hope everyone has a good day.

    DD2 has a temp of 38.4 so neither of the littlies are going to school. I need to get to Mr T or there will be no dinner tonight. Dd1 is at the boyfriends, I'm going to ask her to come home before she goes to work so I can nip out.

    Kettle descaled - I'm going to need a lot of tea today.
