    That looks fantastic Bossy! Wow! Well done.

    My Pavlova looks amazing. I finally got round to following a 'leave it in the oven overnight' recipe and for once it really is white rather than tinged with caramel colouring where the sugar has caught.

    Flying has been 'whole house' this week. I've done some every day and it has rescued it from tippishness to fab, in addition to carpet washing and drain unblocking. Thanks Flyladies one and all, especially Dusty and Natty. Monday will be exceptionally busy and one of the jobs will be spring cleaning the chalet for the first let from Saturday with a friend. The beds on Fleabay are up to £4.75 with four bidders and 13 watchers, so they will sell. Good-oh.
    Better is good enough.

    That's great Bossy. Your DS is the same age as my nephew who is addicted to spiderman.

    All the kids sporting activities have been cancelled. DH has a non life threatening lurgy. It's made him deaf, not that he hears what I say normally. We had a bad row last night, the atmosphere is frostier than the weather.

    That Spidey looks a bit scary.. I'd be terrified waking up to that jumping on me!!! I hope DS likes it though!

    CY.. any excuse not to go is welcomed lol.. I said to OH if he didn't want to go that was more than fine by me I'd rather stay home anyway :p and I was unlikely to convince him we SHOULD go.. I never want to go the weather is irrelevant.

    Cuppa glugged.. off to empty some landing and bedroom and shed I shall do you nosies before and after pics :p .. you may have to wait a bit for the finished ones though.

    I need to whizz the sewing machine out at some point too..

    Dot woke at 5:30am due to the house alarm across the road going off.. thankfully she cam in our bed and went back to sleep before getting up at 8.. though she had woke up 3 times in that time demanding juice.

    Off to run the girlies a bath, OH can deal with that and I'll empty floor and shelves.

    :grouphug: to you! There are times when DH and I are on separate planets these days - I wonder how we will survive 3 days away with no kids next weekend. It has cost a fortune - please let the weather relent a bit!

    Hoping for a thaw at your end... in all senses...
