    Cleaned out shed today whilst looking for grandkids paddling pool, tidied up all plantpots, tools and found paddle pools had been attacked by little teeth, am assuming mice. So both ditched, tidy shed and on the lookout for new paddle pool.

    Treat my eldest for head lice. I used vinegar and a nitty gritty comb. I am hoping not to have to buy expensive treatments. Thankfully a non standard job!

    Hi Peeps!
    I have completed a few NSJs recently... the chimney has been swept, the coal and logs for this winter have been delivered and I have finally got rid of loads of things from the kitchen that I haven't used in years! The latter has created SPACE, both physically and mentally, which I hope will remain uncluttered!
    How is everyone else getting on?
