    Hi all.

    Quick lunch break - Dave's due to arrive shortly.

    I've Level One'd the bedroom and the spare room, as I don't know how much "luggage" Dave will bring (he's staying for eight days).

    Thankfully I'm back on Firefox - clearing the cache seemed to sort it.:T And I've finally caught up with (skim)reading the Fred.:D

    Chrome is OK as a back-up browser, but it's not instinctive to use (to me, anyway).:D

    Anyways, just popped in to offer a (((HUG))) to Bossymoo.

    Going to finish my brie sarnie now, and await the arrival of the wee tyke.:D

    Well, I haven't given the bathroom ceiling a full second coat, but just patched up. It's artexed (nice :D) so bit tricky getting into all the dimples. Much easier to see when dry, and think I've sorted the patchiness. Hoping DD will have a nap soon, and DS can play in his room whilst I give the door and frame a quick coat of satin. Other than that, just cleaning and putting things back.

    Kids wanted early lunch, but have hardly eaten. They didn't like the new pasta it was too small (?) although DD had extra bolognese "more chicken mummy" lol. Then they decided they don't like rice pudding either. So not a very successful meal... Still, it all means come tea time they will eat better then.

    All laundry caught up now, few bits left to hang up. My bed needs making up too, although I've left the mattress bare and windows open - figure with all those layers it could benefit from an airing... So that will wait till bedtime. Ooh, a bath in my freshly painted bathroom, then into a clean bed. Mmm. That is my new plan for today...

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Dave the Yorkie is here! :T:T:T:T:T He is absolutely gorgeous, if a total contrast to Dylan in respect of size!:rotfl:

    I suspect very little flying will happen during his stay (good thing I did the spare room early for this week, then):D as according to the info sheet, he likes l-o-n-g walkies, and he's proving to be extremely playful.:D

    Some progress.

    Long argument on the phone with DH. We are in a better place now but I've been let down on a massive scale. He's said sorry. I've told him actions are louder than words and I'm not talking about bunches of flowers.
