Sorry you didnt get the change Valli but its good for us
FFP - have a shoo for the BD
Mumto5 - Hope you find th glue, the weather holds and all goes well for the moonwalk. Ouch for DD car and DS losing swimming gear again. Is there any reason he is doing it so many times this week if it upsets his eczema.
Pollybear - That article is just downright weird, why would you brag about living in a hovel
CY - bless your DD for writing the poem
Jo - welcome back. There are so many other names we need to see back as well.

There's something about posting here about what's been achieved that makes me want to do more......DUH! that's the idea!!!
Kitchen cleaned, tidying in lounge, 3 loads of washing done but then yesterday I fell downstairs so nothing got done as a bit battered and bruised. Today I will tackle inside the fridge and change the bed.
Thanks again to all those providing inspiration to people like me who need a kick up the backside. (If I had been tidying longer I wouldn't have fallen down the stairs!!!!)'Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.' T S Eliot0 -
