    Hi to teebird welcome.

    Bathroom done, but not much else except sneaking a bundle of toys out of the conservatory, as the kids are home and making a mess. They have too many toys, so the baby ones are bundled up and ready for cs

    Will catch up later when they have a nap, unless I fall asleep too.. :o

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Sadly he doesn't wear the tops.......:mad:

    Your second suggestion sounded promising though....:shhh::shhh:
